Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AGC-V-6-R and 0318006.HXP maintain Active product status and satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for 6 A, 250 V AC/DC fast-blow cartridge fuse applications. The AGC-V-6-R carries CSA and UL approvals, while the 0318006.HXP carries expanded regulatory approvals including CE, CSA, KC, PSE, and UL certifications. Both parts are RoHS Compliant (AGC-V-6-R: RoHS Compliant; 0318006.HXP: ROHS3 Compliant).

Minor dimensional variations exist between the two parts (diameter: 0.266" vs. 0.275"; length: 1.292" vs. 1.288"), and DC cold resistance differs slightly (0.015 Ohms vs. 0.0178 Ohms). These variations remain within acceptable tolerances for through-hole cartridge fuse applications and do not affect functional substitution capability.

Selection between these parts should be based on supplier availability, inventory status, and specific regulatory requirements of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0318006.HXP directly replace the AGC-V-6-R in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (6 A, 250 V AC/DC, Fast Blow, 200 A breaking capacity) and mechanical specifications (3AB/3AG package, 1/4" x 1-1/4" axial configuration, through-hole mounting). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Eaton vs. Littelfuse), dimensional tolerances (0.266" vs. 0.275" diameter; 1.292" vs. 1.288" length), DC cold resistance (0.015 vs. 0.0178 Ohms), melting I²t values (144.36 vs. 118), and regulatory approvals. All differences remain within acceptable ranges for cartridge fuse applications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the dimensional variations?

A: The dimensional differences are minor and fall within standard manufacturing tolerances for 3AB/3AG cartridge fuses. Both parts are designed for the same through-hole footprint and will function identically in standard fuse holders and clips.

Q: Which part has broader regulatory coverage?

A: The 0318006.HXP carries five regulatory approvals (CE, CSA, KC, PSE, UL) compared to the AGC-V-6-R's two approvals (CSA, UL). Selection should align with the specific regulatory requirements of the target application region.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The AGC-V-6-R has 1010 pieces in stock, and the 0318006.HXP has 1235 pieces in stock, both listed as New Original inventory.
