Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SCHURTER 7181.4131 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 32A (must match exactly)
• Package / Case: 5AG, 10mm x 38mm (Midget) (must match for holder compatibility)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (must match)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (must match)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.406" Dia x 1.496" L (must be compatible with existing holder)

The FWC-32A10F from Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division qualifies as a substitute based on matching current rating, package designation, fuse type, and physical dimensions. While the voltage rating differs (600 VAC vs. 400 VAC), the higher voltage rating of the substitute provides compatibility in 400 VAC applications, as fuses rated for higher voltages are suitable for lower voltage systems.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FWC-32A10F is suitable for replacement of the SCHURTER 7181.4131 in 400 VAC applications. The substitute maintains identical current rating (32A), package designation (5AG), and physical dimensions compatible with standard fuse holders. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for procurement. The higher voltage rating (600 VAC) of the FWC-32A10F provides operational compatibility in 400 VAC circuits. The substitute carries CE and UR approvals, supporting compliance in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FWC-32A10F be used directly in place of the SCHURTER 7181.4131?

A: Yes. Both components share identical current rating (32A), fuse type (cartridge), package designation (5AG, 10mm x 38mm), and mounting requirements (requires holder). Physical dimensions are compatible with standard 5AG fuse holders.

Q: Why does the substitute have a higher voltage rating (600 VAC vs. 400 VAC)?

A: A fuse rated for 600 VAC is suitable for use in 400 VAC applications. The higher voltage rating indicates the component can safely interrupt circuits at higher voltages, making it compatible with lower voltage systems.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The FWC-32A10F carries additional CE and UR approvals, which may be required in specific regulatory jurisdictions.

Q: What is the significance of the breaking capacity difference (120kA vs. 50kA)?

A: Breaking capacity indicates the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt. The SCHURTER 7181.4131 has a higher breaking capacity (120kA). For applications requiring the original breaking capacity specification, this parameter must be verified against system requirements.

Q: Will the FWC-32A10F fit in existing fuse holders designed for the SCHURTER 7181.4131?

A: Yes. Both components use the 5AG package designation with 10mm x 38mm dimensions. Physical compatibility with standard 5AG fuse holders is confirmed.
