Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 7015.6370 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 4 A (must match exactly)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (mechanical compatibility with holder)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (electrical characteristic)
• Voltage Rating: Must meet or exceed 125 VAC/VDC application requirements
• Physical Dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 1.260" L (must fit holder specifications)

The identified substitute, SCHURTER 7022.0660, maintains the same current rating, package format, response time, and physical dimensions. While the substitute features a ceramic construction and higher voltage rating (500 VAC), it remains mechanically and electrically compatible for applications requiring the original 125 VAC/VDC specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 7022.0660 ceramic fuse serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete SCHURTER 7015.6370 glass fuse. Both components maintain identical current ratings (4 A), response characteristics (fast blow), and mechanical compatibility (3AB/3AG package format). The substitute is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for replacement applications.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The ceramic construction of the substitute provides enhanced breaking capacity (150 kA versus 5 kA) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 70°C), offering improved performance margins within the same physical envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SCHURTER 7022.0660 directly replace the SCHURTER 7015.6370 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both fuses share identical current ratings (4 A), response times (fast blow), and mechanical package specifications (3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4"). The ceramic substitute fits the same holder and maintains electrical compatibility for 125 VAC/VDC circuits.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two fuses?

A: The main difference is construction material and voltage rating. The 7015.6370 uses glass construction with a 125 VAC/VDC rating, while the 7022.0660 uses ceramic construction with a 500 VAC/VDC rating. Both are fast-blow fuses with 4 A current ratings.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 7022.0660 carries UR approval agency certification, while the 7015.6370 does not specify an approval agency.

Q: Will the physical dimensions affect installation?

A: No. The dimensional difference is negligible (0.008" in length). Both fuses are designed for 3AB/3AG holders and will install identically.

Q: Why is the 7015.6370 listed as obsolete?

A: The 7015.6370 is obsolete due to product lifecycle management. The SCHURTER 7022.0660 ceramic fuse provides superior performance characteristics and remains in active production.
