Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for cartridge fuse holders is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Fuse size compatibility (5mm x 20mm cartridge format)
• Mounting configuration (panel mount orientation)
• Number of circuits (single-circuit requirement)
• Termination style (solder lug connection)
• Mechanical fit and footprint alignment

The SCHURTER 3101.0015 shares identical mechanical specifications with the 8601.2020 across fuse size, mounting type, circuit count, and termination style. Both components accept 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses and feature panel mount installation with solder lug terminals. This mechanical and functional compatibility establishes the basis for substitution consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SCHURTER 3101.0015 provides mechanical and functional compatibility with the obsolete 8601.2020 based on shared fuse holder architecture. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory alignment.

The 3101.0015 is currently in active production status with 1706 units in stock, compared to the 8601.2020 obsolete status with 1108 units available. The substitute part accommodates higher current (16 A versus 6.3 A) and voltage (400V versus 250V) ratings, providing enhanced electrical capacity within the same mechanical envelope.

Selection of the 3101.0015 as a replacement requires verification that the application circuit design can accommodate the higher electrical ratings without adverse effects on system operation or protection characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3101.0015 directly replace the 8601.2020 in existing designs?

A: Both components share identical mechanical specifications for panel mount installation, fuse size (5mm x 20mm), circuit count (1), and termination style (solder lug). Physical installation compatibility is established. Electrical circuit design must accommodate the 3101.0015 ratings of 16 A and 400V.

Q: What are the key differences between these two fuse holders?

A: The primary differences are current rating (6.3 A versus 16 A), voltage rating (250V versus 400V), and product status (obsolete versus active). Mechanical form factor and fuse compatibility remain identical.

Q: Why is the 8601.2020 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 3101.0015 represents the active alternative within SCHURTER's cartridge fuse holder portfolio.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 8601.2020 and 3101.0015 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging is available for the 3101.0015?

A: The 3101.0015 is supplied in bulk packaging, with 1706 units currently in stock.
