5MTP 7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5MTP 7 is a 7A 125VAC glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Bel Fuse Inc., designed for through-hole mounting in 5mm x 20mm form factor applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and repair operations. The medium-blow response characteristic and 300A breaking capacity at rated voltage define its operational envelope in circuit protection applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5MTP 7 is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Current Rating: 7 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 125 V (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (Axial) (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Response Time: Medium Blow (exact match required)

The substitute part BK/GMC-V-7A, manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, meets all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria for direct substitution in applications currently utilizing the 5MTP 7.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BK/GMC-V-7A represents the primary substitute for the obsolete 5MTP 7. Selection of this alternative is justified by:

• Identical electrical ratings (7A, 125VAC)
• Identical mechanical form factor (5mm x 20mm through-hole cartridge)
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Matching regulatory classification (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.10.0020)
• Equivalent RoHS compliance status

Both components share identical tariff classification, confirming functional and regulatory equivalence for circuit protection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BK/GMC-V-7A be used as a direct replacement for the 5MTP 7?

A: Yes. Both components are 7A, 125VAC glass cartridge fuses in 5mm x 20mm through-hole configuration. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: Why is the 5MTP 7 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The BK/GMC-V-7A maintains active production status and is available for new applications and replacement inventory.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both components share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.10.0020) classifications. Both are RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the physical dimension tolerance for the 5mm x 20mm package?

A: The 5MTP 7 specifies 0.217" Dia x 0.827" L (5.50mm x 21.00mm). Mechanical compatibility with standard 5mm x 20mm fuse holders is confirmed.

Q: Does response time affect substitution eligibility?

A: Yes. The 5MTP 7 employs medium-blow response characteristics. Substitute parts must match this response time classification for equivalent circuit protection performance.
