AGC-6-1/4-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AGC-6-1/4-R is a 6.25 A, 250 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. This component is designed for use in 3AB and 3AG fuse holders with a physical dimension of 1/4" x 1-1/4" (6.35mm x 31.75mm). The part maintains Active product status with 1159 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design standardization across production batches.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AGC-6-1/4-R is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 6.25 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (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)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 1.250" L (exact match required)

The substitute part BK/AGC-6-1/4-R meets all these criteria and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division within the AGC series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AGC-6-1/4-R and BK/AGC-6-1/4-R are Active products manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and are fully interchangeable based on electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is the RoHS compliance designation: AGC-6-1/4-R carries RoHS Compliant status, while BK/AGC-6-1/4-R carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements. The BK/AGC-6-1/4-R additionally carries REACH Unaffected status.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Compliance requirements specific to the end application or regional market
• Inventory availability at the time of procurement
• Supply chain lead time considerations
• Design documentation requirements for traceability

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.10.0020) classifications, indicating equivalent export and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-6-1/4-R be used as a direct replacement for AGC-6-1/4-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications: 6.25 A current rating, 250 V AC voltage rating, fast-blow response time, and identical 3AB/3AG package dimensions of 1/4" x 1-1/4". No circuit modifications or holder changes are required.

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

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives. ROHS3 represents a more recent iteration of the standard. For applications requiring specific compliance documentation, verify the applicable regulatory requirements for your end market.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.250" diameter x 1.250" length (6.35mm x 31.75mm) and are compatible with 3AB and 3AG fuse holders.

Q: Do both parts operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. Both AGC-6-1/4-R and BK/AGC-6-1/4-R operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: What is the significance of the "BK/" prefix in the part number?

A: The "BK/" prefix indicates a variant designation within the Eaton product line. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical to the base AGC-6-1/4-R designation.

Q: Are export classifications the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.10.0020) classifications.
