Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 89096-013 is based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Fuse type classification (subminiature/board mount category)
• AC/DC voltage rating compatibility
• Current rating alignment
• Mounting configuration
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS, ECCN, HTSUS)
• Approval agency certifications

The PCB-3-R qualifies as a direct substitute based on shared manufacturer origin (Eaton - Electronics Division), identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, and RoHS compliance status. Both components fall within the same tariff classification and export control framework.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For 89096-013 Replacement:

The PCB-3-R is the designated substitute part based on manufacturer documentation. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 89096-013 no longer available?

A: The 89096-013 has reached obsolete status. The PCB-3-R from Eaton's active PC-Tron® series provides equivalent functionality and is currently in production.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is determined by current rating (3 A), AC voltage rating (250 V), DC voltage rating (450 V), and fuse response time (Fast Blow). These parameters must match the application requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between 89096-013 and PCB-3-R?

A: The 89096-013 packaging is listed as "-" (not specified in available documentation). The PCB-3-R is supplied in Bulk packaging with Radial, Box configuration and Through Hole mounting. Physical dimensions are 0.350" L x 0.184" W x 0.345" H (8.89mm x 4.67mm x 8.76mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.10.0040. The PCB-3-R achieves ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds the RoHS compliance of the obsolete part.

Q: What is the breaking capacity of the PCB-3-R?

A: The PCB-3-R has a breaking capacity of 50A AC and 4.4kA DC at rated voltage, with a melting I²t value of 0.75.

Q: Are there alternative substitutes listed?

A: Yes. The PCB-3-R documentation identifies BK/PCB-3-R, BK/PCC-3-R, and BK/PCH-3-R as equivalent alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter set.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level of the PCB-3-R?

A: The PCB-3-R is classified as Not Applicable for Moisture Sensitivity Level, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
