Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5672-11-R is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Fuse Size: 0.281" Dia (7.14mm) — must match exactly
• Fuse Type: Cartridge — must be identical
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount — must be identical
• Number of Circuits: 1 — must be identical
• Fuseholder Type: Clip — must be identical
• For Use With: 9/32" Dia Fuses — must match exactly

The Keystone Electronics 3565 meets all substitution criteria. Both components accommodate the same fuse dimensions, employ identical mounting and circuit configurations, and utilize clip-based fuseholder designs suitable for chassis applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Keystone Electronics 3565 serves as the primary equivalent for the obsolete Eaton 5672-11-R. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for fuse accommodation, mounting configuration, and circuit capacity.

The Keystone 3565 carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, providing assurance of continued availability and regulatory alignment for new installations and replacements. The contact material differs (brass with nickel finish versus spring bronze), though both materials are suitable for low-voltage fuse clip applications within the specified electrical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Keystone 3565 directly replace the Eaton 5672-11-R?

A: Yes. Both components accommodate 0.281" diameter cartridge fuses, feature single-circuit clip-based designs, and are configured for chassis mount applications. The mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through matching fuse size, fuse type, mounting method, and circuit configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference?

A: The Eaton 5672-11-R uses spring bronze contacts, while the Keystone 3565 uses brass with nickel finish. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for cartridge fuse clip applications. Material selection does not affect functional compatibility in standard low-voltage fuse holder circuits.

Q: Why is the Eaton 5672-11-R classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The Keystone 3565, with active product status, represents the current market equivalent for applications requiring single-circuit cartridge fuse clips with 0.281" fuse accommodation and chassis mount configuration.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The Eaton 5672-11-R is available in standard packaging, while the Keystone 3565 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.

Q: Does the Keystone 3565 meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The Keystone 3565 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component distribution and use.
