Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 89096-015 is based on the following electrical and mechanical criteria derived from the provided parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Fuse type classification (buss/board mount fuse)
• AC and DC voltage rating compatibility
• Current rating capacity
• Response time characteristics (Fast Blow)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole Radial)
• Regulatory compliance (RoHS, UL/CSA approval)
• Breaking capacity at rated voltage

The identified substitute part PCD-5-R from Eaton - Electronics Division meets these criteria as an active product with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: PCD-5-R

The PCD-5-R is the designated substitute for the obsolete 89096-015 based on the following engineering factors:

1. Product Status Alignment: The PCD-5-R maintains active manufacturing status with Eaton - Electronics Division, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability for future procurement requirements.

2. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.10.0040) classifications. The PCD-5-R carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the main part, meeting current environmental standards.

3. Certification Authority: The PCD-5-R holds dual approval from CSA and UL, providing recognized third-party validation for safety and performance characteristics in AC/DC applications.

4. Electrical Specifications: The PCD-5-R provides defined electrical parameters (5 A current rating, 125 V AC / 400 V DC voltage ratings) with specified breaking capacity (10 kA AC, 4.2 kA DC) and Fast Blow response time, establishing clear performance boundaries for circuit protection applications.

5. Physical Configuration: Through Hole Radial mounting with specified dimensions (0.350" L x 0.184" W x 0.345" H) enables direct integration into existing PCB layouts designed for the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 89096-015 being discontinued?

A: The 89096-015 is classified as obsolete. The PCD-5-R represents the current active equivalent from the same manufacturer, offering improved compliance status and documented electrical specifications.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution is determined by current rating (5 A), AC voltage rating (125 V), DC voltage rating (400 V), response time (Fast Blow), and breaking capacity (10 kA AC / 4.2 kA DC). These parameters establish the fuse's protective function in the circuit.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in the provided data. The PCD-5-R is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the PCD-5-R meet current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. The PCD-5-R is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental standards. Both parts share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications for export control and tariff purposes.

Q: What mounting configuration does the PCD-5-R use?

A: The PCD-5-R uses Through Hole Radial mounting with a box-style package configuration, excluding cartridge-style designs. Physical dimensions are 0.350" L x 0.184" W x 0.345" H (8.89mm x 4.67mm x 8.76mm).

Q: Are there additional substitute options listed?

A: The PCD-5-R documentation references additional substitutes: BK/PCD-5-R, BK/PCI-5-R, and 80815000000. Consult with Eaton - Electronics Division for detailed compatibility information on these alternatives.
