AGC-V-3/10-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AGC-V-3/10-R is a fast-blow glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, rated for 300 mA at 250 V AC/DC. This component is designed for through-hole mounting in 3AB and 3AG package configurations with axial lead geometry (1/4" x 1-1/4"). The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct circuit board replacement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AGC-V-3/10-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 300 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" Axial (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 35 A (exact match required)
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UL certification (exact match required)

The substitute part BK/AGC-V-3/10-R meets all specified criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AGC-V-3/10-R and BK/AGC-V-3/10-R are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division with Active product status. Both components carry CSA and UL certifications and maintain RoHS compliance. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. Selection between these two part numbers may be based on inventory availability or procurement source preference, as no technical differentiation exists between them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-V-3/10-R be used as a direct replacement for AGC-V-3/10-R?

A: Yes. BK/AGC-V-3/10-R is a direct equivalent. All electrical parameters (300 mA, 250 V AC, fast-blow response, 35 A breaking capacity), mechanical specifications (3AB/3AG package, 1/4" x 1-1/4" axial geometry), and certifications (CSA, UL) are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions: 0.266" diameter x 1.292" length (6.76 mm x 32.82 mm).

Q: Do both parts meet the same approval standards?

A: Yes. Both AGC-V-3/10-R and BK/AGC-V-3/10-R carry CSA and UL approvals and are RoHS compliant.

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

A: The BK/ prefix indicates an alternative part designation from the same manufacturer. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Can these fuses be used in AC and DC circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 250 V AC/DC operation across the specified current range.

Q: What is the melting I²t value, and why is it important?

A: The melting I²t value of 0.027 defines the thermal energy required to melt the fuse element. This parameter is identical for both parts and ensures consistent protection characteristics.
