Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGC-V-25-R are determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters that define substitution eligibility are:

  • Current Rating: 25 A (exact match required)
  • Voltage Rating (AC): 32 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" (Axial) (exact match required)
  • Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
  • Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1 kA (exact match required)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
  • Approval Agencies: CSA, UL (exact match required)

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical and mechanical parameters without deviation to ensure direct interchangeability in circuit protection applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AGC-V-25-R and BK/AGC-V-25-R are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and maintain Active product status. Both components carry identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory certifications (CSA, UL). Both parts are RoHS compliant and operate within the same temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Selection between these parts is based on availability and packaging requirements. The BK/AGC-V-25-R variant currently maintains higher inventory levels (934 Pcs) compared to AGC-V-25-R (750 Pcs), both supplied in bulk packaging. Component selection should prioritize supply chain availability while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-V-25-R be used as a direct replacement for AGC-V-25-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and share identical electrical ratings (25 A, 32 V AC), fuse type (Cartridge, Glass), response time (Fast Blow), package configuration (3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4"), mounting type (Through Hole), breaking capacity (1 kA), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: Are there differences in approval certifications between these parts?

A: No. Both AGC-V-25-R and BK/AGC-V-25-R carry identical approval certifications from CSA and UL. Both parts are RoHS compliant.

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

A: The BK/AGC-V-25-R designation represents a variant within the AGC series manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. The prefix does not indicate a functional or electrical difference; both parts maintain identical specifications and are fully interchangeable.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.266" Dia x 1.292" L (6.76mm x 32.82mm) and are packaged in the same 3AB, 3AG configuration for through-hole mounting.

Q: What is the melting I²t value, and is it the same for both parts?

A: The melting I²t value is 3875 for both AGC-V-25-R and BK/AGC-V-25-R. This parameter defines the thermal energy required to melt the fuse element and is identical across both variants.

Q: Is there a difference in DC cold resistance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain a DC cold resistance of 0.0027 Ohms, ensuring identical electrical performance in DC circuit applications.
