Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGC-4/10-R are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Current Rating: 400 mA (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 1.250" L (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and physical compatibility with standard 3AB and 3AG fuse holders. Substitution is based solely on parametric equivalence; no functional or performance differences exist between the main part and listed substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AGC-4/10-R and BK/AGC-4/10-R are Active products from Eaton - Electronics Division with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on compliance requirements and supply availability:

AGC-4/10-R: RoHS Compliant status. Current inventory: 1005 Pcs New Original In Stock.

BK/AGC-4/10-R: ROHS3 Compliant status with REACH Unaffected designation. Current inventory: 1010 Pcs New Original In Stock. This variant provides enhanced compliance documentation for applications requiring stricter regulatory adherence.

Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.10.0020, ensuring consistent export and tariff treatment. Selection should be based on specific compliance requirements of the end application and current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-4/10-R be used as a direct replacement for AGC-4/10-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical current rating (400 mA), voltage rating (250 V AC), fuse type (Cartridge, Glass), response time (Fast Blow), and physical dimensions (0.250" Dia x 1.250" L). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in all 3AB and 3AG fuse holder applications.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 Compliant represents the most current RoHS directive compliance standard. BK/AGC-4/10-R carries this enhanced designation along with REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory documentation for applications with stringent compliance requirements.

Q: Are these fuses suitable for both AC and DC applications?

A: Yes. Both AGC-4/10-R and BK/AGC-4/10-R are rated for 250 V AC/DC operation, as specified in the detailed description. The 400 mA current rating applies to both AC and DC circuits.

Q: What holder types are compatible with these fuses?

A: These fuses require 3AB or 3AG fuse holders. The 1/4" x 1-1/4" (6.35mm x 31.75mm) physical dimensions ensure compatibility with standard holders designed for this package specification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these fuses?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C. This range covers typical industrial and commercial environmental conditions.

Q: What does "Fast Blow" response time mean?

A: Fast Blow indicates that the fuse element melts and interrupts the circuit quickly upon overcurrent conditions, typically within milliseconds. This characteristic is suitable for protecting sensitive electronic circuits and components.
