Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGC-15-R are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent: BK/AGC-15-R (Eaton - Electronics Division) shares identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, response characteristics, and approval agencies with the main part. This part is a direct equivalent within the same manufacturer's product line.

Similar Manufacturer Parts: 0312015.HXP and 0312015.MXP (Littelfuse Inc., Series 312) match the core electrical parameters (15 A, 32 V AC, fast-blow response, 3AB/3AG package, identical physical dimensions). These parts are functionally equivalent for circuit protection applications requiring the specified current and voltage ratings.

Parametric Equivalent Parts: 0311015.H and 0311015.M (Littelfuse Inc., Series AGC) satisfy the primary electrical and mechanical requirements (15 A, 32 V AC, fast-blow response, 3AB/3AG package, identical physical dimensions). These parts operate within the same parameter envelope as the main part.

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following critical parameters: current rating (15 A), voltage rating (32 V AC), fuse type (cartridge glass), response time (fast blow), package configuration (3AB/3AG), and physical dimensions (0.250" Dia x 1.250" L).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BK/AGC-15-R (Eaton - Electronics Division) is the primary direct equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and approval certifications (CSA, UL) as the AGC-15-R. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton and carry Active product status with RoHS compliance. Selection of BK/AGC-15-R provides maximum compatibility assurance for direct replacement applications.

0312015.HXP and 0312015.MXP (Littelfuse Inc.) are functionally equivalent alternatives. Both parts satisfy the electrical requirements (15 A, 32 V AC, fast-blow) and mechanical specifications (3AB/3AG package, 0.250" Dia x 1.250" L). These parts carry CSA and cULus approval certifications and maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The Littelfuse Series 312 parts are suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer substitution is acceptable.

0311015.H and 0311015.M (Littelfuse Inc.) are parametric equivalents within the Littelfuse AGC series. Both parts match the core electrical and mechanical parameters required for 15 A, 32 V AC fast-blow protection in 3AB/3AG holders. Part 0311015.M explicitly specifies 32 V DC rating in addition to 32 V AC. These parts carry ROHS3 compliance and Active product status. Selection of these parts is appropriate where Littelfuse AGC series compatibility is required.

All substitute parts are Active products with current manufacturing status and established supply availability. Selection should be based on application requirements, existing inventory management protocols, and approved supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-15-R be used as a direct replacement for AGC-15-R?

A: Yes. BK/AGC-15-R is manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and shares identical electrical specifications (15 A, 32 V AC), fuse type (cartridge glass), response time (fast blow), package configuration (3AB/3AG), physical dimensions (0.250" Dia x 1.250" L), and approval certifications (CSA, UL). This part is a direct equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between Littelfuse Series 312 parts (0312015.HXP, 0312015.MXP) and the AGC-15-R?

A: Littelfuse Series 312 parts match the electrical requirements (15 A, 32 V AC, fast-blow) and mechanical specifications (3AB/3AG package, identical dimensions). The primary differences are manufacturer (Littelfuse vs. Eaton) and approval certifications (cULus vs. UL). Both part series are functionally equivalent for circuit protection applications requiring 15 A at 32 V AC.

Q: Are Littelfuse AGC series parts (0311015.H, 0311015.M) compatible with the AGC-15-R?

A: Yes. Littelfuse AGC series parts 0311015.H and 0311015.M satisfy the electrical parameters (15 A, 32 V AC, fast-blow response) and mechanical requirements (3AB/3AG package, 0.250" Dia x 1.250" L). These parts are parametric equivalents suitable for applications requiring AGC series compatibility. Part 0311015.M additionally specifies 32 V DC rating.

Q: What holder types are required for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts require 3AB or 3AG holder configurations. The physical dimensions (0.250" Dia x 1.250" L) are identical across all parts listed, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing holder installations.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry RoHS compliance certification. The main part AGC-15-R is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts (BK/AGC-15-R, 0312015.HXP, 0312015.MXP, 0311015.H, 0311015.M) are ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: What approval certifications apply to each substitute part?

A: BK/AGC-15-R carries CSA and UL certifications (matching the main part). Littelfuse Series 312 parts (0312015.HXP, 0312015.MXP) carry CSA and cULus certifications. Littelfuse AGC series part 0311015.H carries CSA and UL certifications. Part 0311015.M does not specify approval agencies in the provided data.
