SCHURTER 7010.9916.55 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCHURTER 7010.9916.55 is a 12 A surface mount board mount fuse (cartridge style excluded) in a 2-SMD, square end block package. This component is classified as obsolete product status. Due to its obsolete designation, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for ongoing production, repair, and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 7010.9916.55 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Current Rating: 12 A
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Fuse Type: Board Mount (Cartridge Style Excluded)
• Response Time: Fast Blow
• Package / Case: 2-SMD, Square End Block
• Physical Dimensions: 0.276" L x 0.100" W x 0.100" H (7.00mm x 2.54mm x 2.54mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 85°C
• Approval Agency: cURus

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating (AC/DC): The main part does not specify voltage ratings; substitute parts with defined voltage ratings are acceptable
• Product Status: Active status substitutes are preferred for obsolete parts
• Additional certifications (RoHS, REACH): Enhanced compliance is acceptable

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 7010.9916.57 is a direct substitute for the obsolete SCHURTER 7010.9916.55. Both components share identical electrical specifications (12 A current rating, fast blow response time), mechanical form factor (2-SMD, square end block, 7.00mm x 2.54mm x 2.54mm), and thermal operating range (-55°C ~ 85°C). Both components carry cURus approval certification.

The primary distinction is product status: the 7010.9916.57 maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part additionally provides specified voltage ratings (65 V AC / 65 V DC), defined breaking capacity (300A), and enhanced compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). These additions represent functional enhancements rather than deviations from the original specification.

For applications where the original 7010.9916.55 was specified, the 7010.9916.57 provides equivalent performance with improved documentation and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 7010.9916.57 directly replace the SCHURTER 7010.9916.55 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical current ratings (12 A), response characteristics (fast blow), mounting methodology (surface mount), package geometry (2-SMD, square end block), physical dimensions (7.00mm x 2.54mm x 2.54mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C). The substitute part is mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating specification on the substitute part?

A: The 7010.9916.57 specifies 65 V AC and 65 V DC ratings. The original 7010.9916.55 does not document voltage ratings. The substitute part's voltage specification provides explicit design margin documentation. Applications operating at or below 65 V AC/DC are fully compatible.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 7010.9916.57 includes ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status documentation. The original part does not specify these certifications. Both components carry cURus approval. The substitute part provides enhanced regulatory documentation suitable for current manufacturing standards.

Q: Does the substitute part's higher breaking capacity (300A) affect circuit protection behavior?

A: No. Breaking capacity defines the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt. A higher breaking capacity (300A on the substitute versus unspecified on the original) indicates enhanced safety margin under fault conditions. This does not alter the fuse's response to normal or overload currents at the 12 A rating.

Q: Is the 2-SMD, square end block package identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both components use the same package designation and physical dimensions (0.276" L x 0.100" W x 0.100" H / 7.00mm x 2.54mm x 2.54mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes are identical.
