Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGC-V-12-R are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Parameters:

• Current Rating: 12 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 32 V (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1 kA (exact match required)
• DC Cold Resistance: 0.006 Ohms (exact match required)
• Melting I²t: 696.96 (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (Axial) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.266" Dia x 1.292" L (6.76mm x 32.82mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• Approval Agencies: CSA, UL (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above to ensure functional and regulatory equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AGC-V-12-R and BK/AGC-V-12-R are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and maintain Active product status. Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL). Both are RoHS compliant and operate within the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The AGC-V-12-R currently has 750 pieces in stock, while the BK/AGC-V-12-R variant has 821 pieces available. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 12 A, 32 V AC/DC fast-blow protection with 1 kA breaking capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-V-12-R be used as a direct replacement for AGC-V-12-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and share identical electrical parameters (12 A, 32 V, fast-blow response), mechanical specifications (3AB/3AG package, 1/4" x 1-1/4" dimensions), and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL). They are functionally equivalent for all applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by exact matching of current rating (12 A), voltage rating (32 V AC), response time (fast-blow), breaking capacity (1 kA), package configuration (3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4"), mounting type (through-hole), DC cold resistance (0.006 Ohms), melting I²t (696.96), and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL).

Q: Are there any differences in the physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both AGC-V-12-R and BK/AGC-V-12-R have identical dimensions of 0.266" diameter x 1.292" length (6.76mm x 32.82mm) and use the same 3AB, 3AG package configuration.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts carry CSA and UL approvals and are RoHS compliant. They meet identical regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

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

A: Both parts operate within the range of -55°C to 125°C, providing consistent performance across standard industrial temperature environments.
