Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGC-V-1-R are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence: Current rating of 1 A, AC voltage rating of 250 V, and fast-blow response time must match exactly.

Mechanical Equivalence: Package designation 3AB, 3AG with physical dimensions 0.266" diameter by 1.292" length (or within acceptable tolerance) ensures mechanical interchangeability in through-hole mounting applications.

Functional Equivalence: Breaking capacity of 35 A at rated voltage and operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C must be maintained.

Regulatory Equivalence: Approval by CSA and UL certifying bodies confirms compliance with applicable safety standards.

Parts meeting all four equivalence criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Parts meeting electrical, mechanical, and functional criteria but with extended approval certifications are classified as compatible alternatives.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitute - BK/AGC-V-1-R (Eaton - Electronics Division):

The BK/AGC-V-1-R is a direct substitute for the AGC-V-1-R. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, package specifications, and approval certifications. The BK/AGC-V-1-R carries ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, providing enhanced regulatory documentation. Current inventory of 857 pieces supports immediate availability.

Compatible Alternative - 0318001.HXP (Littelfuse Inc.):

The 0318001.HXP manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. is a compatible alternative meeting all electrical, mechanical, and functional equivalence criteria. This part holds expanded approval certifications including CE, KC, and PSE in addition to CSA and UL. Physical dimensions measure 0.275" diameter by 1.288" length, representing minor dimensional variation within acceptable tolerance for 3AB, 3AG package specifications. The melting I²t value of 0.76 differs from the AGC-V-1-R specification of 3.24, and DC cold resistance measures 0.19 Ohms compared to 0.167 Ohms. These parameter variations remain within acceptable operating margins for fast-blow fuse applications. Current inventory of 789 pieces supports availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-V-1-R replace AGC-V-1-R in all applications?

A: Yes. The BK/AGC-V-1-R is a direct substitute with identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, package specifications, and approval certifications. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and are fully interchangeable.

Q: What are the key differences between AGC-V-1-R and 0318001.HXP?

A: Both parts share identical current rating (1 A), voltage rating (250 V AC), fuse type (cartridge glass), response time (fast blow), package designation (3AB, 3AG), mounting type (through hole), breaking capacity (35 A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The 0318001.HXP is manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. rather than Eaton, carries additional approval certifications (CE, KC, PSE), and exhibits minor variations in melting I²t (0.76 vs. 3.24) and DC cold resistance (0.19 vs. 0.167 Ohms).

Q: Are the physical dimensions of 0318001.HXP compatible with AGC-V-1-R mounting locations?

A: The 0318001.HXP measures 0.275" diameter by 1.288" length compared to AGC-V-1-R dimensions of 0.266" diameter by 1.292" length. These variations fall within acceptable tolerance for 3AB, 3AG package specifications and through-hole mounting applications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply chain requirements and regulatory certifications. The BK/AGC-V-1-R provides direct equivalence from the original manufacturer. The 0318001.HXP offers expanded international approvals (CE, KC, PSE) suitable for global applications.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The AGC-V-1-R carries RoHS Compliant status. The BK/AGC-V-1-R and 0318001.HXP both carry ROHS3 Compliant status, representing enhanced compliance documentation.
