Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2JQ 7 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The allowed substitution criteria are:

  • Current Rating: 7 A (exact match required)
  • Voltage Rating - AC: 350 V (exact match required)
  • Voltage Rating - DC: 140 V (exact match required)
  • Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
  • Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
  • Package / Case: 2AG, 5mm x 15mm (exact match required)
  • Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 100A AC, 150A DC (exact match required)
  • Melting I²t: 46 (exact match required)
  • DC Cold Resistance: 0.01 Ohms (exact match required)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
  • Approval Agencies: CE, CSA, cURus, PSE (exact match required)

The 2JQ 7-R meets all substitution criteria and is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 2JQ 7.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2JQ 7-R be used as a direct replacement for the 2JQ 7?

A: Yes. The 2JQ 7-R is electrically and mechanically identical to the 2JQ 7 across all critical parameters, including current rating, voltage ratings, fuse type, response time, package dimensions, breaking capacity, and operating temperature range. It is a direct substitute.

Q: What is the difference between the 2JQ 7 and 2JQ 7-R?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The 2JQ 7 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 2JQ 7-R is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from 2JQ 7 to 2JQ 7-R?

A: No. Both parts use the identical 2AG form factor (5mm x 15mm) and require the same holder. They are fully compatible in all circuit applications designed for the 2JQ 7.

Q: What certifications apply to the 2JQ 7-R?

A: The 2JQ 7-R carries CE, CSA, cURus, and PSE approvals, matching the certification profile of the original 2JQ 7.

Q: Why is the 2JQ 7 listed as obsolete?

A: The 2JQ 7 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The 2JQ 7-R is the active replacement that maintains full functional equivalence.
