Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 5HFP 2

Part Overview

The 5HFP 2 is a 2 A, 250 V AC/DC ceramic cartridge fuse with fast-blow response characteristics, designed for 5mm x 20mm through-hole mounting applications. Manufactured by Bel Fuse Inc., this component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts from active product lines is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for new production and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5HFP 2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 2 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 1.5 kA (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents. The 5HFP 2-R (Bel Fuse Inc.), 0001.1007.PT (SCHURTER Inc.), 0216002.MXESPP (Littelfuse Inc.), 0216002.MXEP (Littelfuse Inc.), and BK/GDA-V-2A (Eaton - Electronics Division) satisfy these requirements.

The 5HF 2.5-R differs in current rating (2.5 A vs. 2 A) and mounting type (Requires Holder vs. Through Hole) and is classified as a direct manufacturer alternative from Bel Fuse Inc., suitable only where circuit design permits higher current tolerance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement of the obsolete 5HFP 2, the 5HFP 2-R from Bel Fuse Inc. is the primary equivalent, offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

The parametric equivalents 0001.1007.PT (SCHURTER Inc.), 0216002.MXESPP (Littelfuse Inc.), and 0216002.MXEP (Littelfuse Inc.) provide functionally identical performance with active status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is required or where supply from alternative manufacturers is preferred.

The BK/GDA-V-2A (Eaton - Electronics Division) meets all parametric requirements and maintains active product status. However, it retains RoHS non-compliant status, making it suitable only for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated.

The 5HF 2.5-R differs in current rating and mounting type and should be selected only when circuit design explicitly permits 2.5 A operation and when a fuse holder is available in the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5HFP 2-R be used as a direct replacement for the 5HFP 2?

A: Yes. The 5HFP 2-R is a parametric equivalent with identical current rating (2 A), voltage rating (250 V AC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (fast blow), package dimensions (5mm x 20mm), breaking capacity (1.5 kA), and mounting type (through hole). The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (ROHS3 vs. non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse 0216002.MXESPP and 0216002.MXEP?

A: Both parts are 2 A, 250 V AC/DC ceramic cartridge fuses with identical electrical specifications. The primary differences are packaging designation and dimensional tolerances. The 0216002.MXESPP is designated as part of the 216SP series, while the 0216002.MXEP is part of the 216 series. Both are suitable for the same through-hole applications.

Q: Why is the 5HF 2.5-R listed as an alternative if it has a different current rating?

A: The 5HF 2.5-R is listed as a direct manufacturer alternative from Bel Fuse Inc. because it was identified in the original part's substitute list. However, it is not a parametric equivalent due to its 2.5 A current rating and "Requires Holder" mounting type. Selection of this part requires circuit design verification to confirm that 2.5 A operation is acceptable and that a compatible fuse holder is available.

Q: Are all substitute parts certified to the same standards?

A: No. Certification varies by manufacturer. The 5HFP 2-R, 0001.1007.PT, 0216002.MXESPP, and 0216002.MXEP hold cURus or equivalent certifications. The BK/GDA-V-2A holds CSA and UR certifications. Verify that the selected substitute meets the specific regulatory requirements of your application.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in selecting a substitute?

A: RoHS3 compliance is mandatory for products sold in the European Union and many other markets. The 5HFP 2 is RoHS non-compliant. The 5HFP 2-R, 0001.1007.PT, 0216002.MXESPP, and 0216002.MXEP are all ROHS3 compliant, making them suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The BK/GDA-V-2A remains RoHS non-compliant and should be used only where RoHS compliance is not required.
