Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ABC-V-15-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 15 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 250 V (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 125 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Ceramic (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (Axial) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 750 A AC, 10 kA DC (exact match required)
• Approval Agency: CSA and/or UL certification (required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the ABC-V-15-R in applications requiring these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts listed are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection among these interchangeable ceramic cartridge fuses should be based on the following factors:

Eaton ABC-V-15-R and BK/ABC-V-15-R: Both are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The BK/ABC-V-15-R variant designation indicates a packaging or distribution channel difference. Both hold CSA and UL approvals and are ROHS3 compliant.

Littelfuse 0324015.HXP and 0324015.MXP: Both are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and meet all electrical and mechanical requirements of the ABC-V-15-R. These parts carry expanded regulatory approvals including CE and K-MARK certifications in addition to CSA and UL. Both are ROHS3 compliant and rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 125°C. The 0324015.MXP variant has significantly higher inventory availability (20400 pieces) compared to the 0324015.HXP (9290 pieces).

All four parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 15 A, 250 V AC / 125 V DC ceramic cartridge fuse with fast-blow response and through-hole mounting in the 3AB/3AG package format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Littelfuse 0324015.HXP or 0324015.MXP be used as a direct replacement for the Eaton ABC-V-15-R?

A: Yes. Both Littelfuse parts meet all electrical and mechanical specifications of the ABC-V-15-R, including current rating, voltage ratings, fuse type, response time, package format, mounting type, breaking capacity, and regulatory approvals. They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the Littelfuse 0324015.HXP and 0324015.MXP?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is inventory availability, with the 0324015.MXP having 20400 pieces in stock compared to 9290 pieces for the 0324015.HXP.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the Eaton and Littelfuse versions?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The Eaton ABC-V-15-R measures 0.266" diameter x 1.292" length (6.76mm x 32.82mm), while the Littelfuse parts measure 0.275" diameter x 1.288" length (6.99mm x 32.72mm). Both conform to the 3AB/3AG package standard and are mechanically compatible with through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What regulatory approvals do these fuses carry?

A: The Eaton ABC-V-15-R and BK/ABC-V-15-R carry CSA and UL approvals. The Littelfuse 0324015.HXP and 0324015.MXP carry CE, CSA, K-MARK, and UL approvals, providing broader international regulatory coverage.

Q: Are all four parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the melting I²t specification for each part?

A: The Eaton ABC-V-15-R has a melting I²t of 200.2. The Littelfuse 0324015.HXP and 0324015.MXP both have a melting I²t of 292. This difference reflects different thermal characteristics within the fast-blow response category but does not affect interchangeability for the specified 15 A rating and voltage specifications.

Q: Can these fuses be used in both AC and DC circuits?

A: Yes. All four parts are rated for 250 V AC and 125 V DC operation and are suitable for use in both AC and DC circuits within these voltage limits.
