5HFP 8-R Ceramic Fuse Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5HFP 8-R is an 8A 250VAC ceramic cartridge fuse manufactured by Bel Fuse Inc., designed for through-hole mounting in 5mm x 20mm form factor applications. This fast-blow fuse is actively produced and widely used in power distribution and circuit protection applications requiring reliable overcurrent protection. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional performance characteristics to ensure direct interchangeability in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5HFP 8-R are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Current Rating: 8 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1.5kA (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical criteria. Minor variations in physical dimensions (diameter and length within tolerance) and DC cold resistance do not affect functional performance in standard circuit protection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection among these substitutes may be based on:

• Approval Agency certifications: The 5HFP 8-R carries CCC, CE, CSA, cULus, PSE, and SEMKO approvals. The 0216008.MXEP carries CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, TUV, and UR approvals. The 0216008.MXESPP carries CE, CSA, CQC, PSE, and UR approvals. The 0001.1013.PT carries cURus approval. Verify that the selected substitute meets the specific regulatory requirements of your application.

• Inventory availability: Current stock levels vary across manufacturers and distributors.

• Physical dimensions: While all parts conform to the 5mm x 20mm nominal specification, minor dimensional variations exist. Verify fit within your specific PCB footprint and mechanical assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 0216008.MXESPP as a direct replacement for 5HFP 8-R?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8A, 250VAC), fuse type (ceramic cartridge), response time (fast blow), breaking capacity (1.5kA), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Physical dimensions are within the 5mm x 20mm specification tolerance.

Q: What is the difference between 0216008.MXEP and 0216008.MXESPP?

A: Both are Littelfuse 216 series ceramic cartridge fuses with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is the physical dimension: 0216008.MXEP measures 0.228" Dia x 0.886" L (5.80mm x 22.50mm), while 0216008.MXESPP measures 0.205" Dia x 0.787" L (5.20mm x 20.00mm). Select based on your PCB footprint requirements.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Do approval agencies differ between these parts?

A: Yes. Each manufacturer carries different regulatory approvals. The 5HFP 8-R includes CCC, CE, CSA, cULus, PSE, and SEMKO. The 0216008.MXEP includes CE, CSA, KC, PSE, SEMKO, TUV, and UR. The 0216008.MXESPP includes CE, CSA, CQC, PSE, and UR. The 0001.1013.PT includes cURus. Confirm that your selected substitute meets your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I substitute based on melting I²t values?

A: Melting I²t values vary among these parts (126, 81.9, 64.315, and 64.315 respectively) but all parts maintain the same 8A current rating and fast-blow response time. These parts are functionally equivalent for standard circuit protection applications where the 8A rating is the primary design criterion.
