Equivalent & Substitute Parts for AGC-V-7-1/2-R

Part Overview

The AGC-V-7-1/2-R is a 7.5 A, 250 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. This component is classified as an active product and serves as a protective device in electrical circuits requiring fast response characteristics. The fuse is housed in a 3AB, 3AG package format with axial through-hole mounting. Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Only parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BK/AGC-V-7-1/2-R is a direct parametric equivalent to the AGC-V-7-1/2-R. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Both components hold active product status and carry CSA and UL approvals, confirming compliance with industry safety standards. The RoHS compliance status of both parts (RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant) satisfies environmental regulatory requirements. Selection between these two part numbers should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times, as no technical differentiation exists between them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-V-7-1/2-R be used as a direct replacement for AGC-V-7-1/2-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical current rating (7.5 A), voltage rating (250 V AC), fuse type (cartridge, glass), response time (fast blow), package format (3AB, 3AG), and all electrical characteristics. They are interchangeable in circuit applications.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical CSA and UL approvals, confirming compliance with the same safety standards.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) regulations. ROHS3 represents the current version of the directive. Both parts meet environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.266" Dia x 1.292" L (6.76mm x 32.82mm) and use the same 3AB, 3AG package format with through-hole axial mounting.

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

A: Both parts are rated for 250 V AC. DC operation is supported within the specified voltage and current parameters.

Q: What is the melting I²t value used for?

A: The melting I²t value of 216 characterizes the thermal energy required to melt the fuse element. This parameter is used in circuit protection calculations and coordination with other protective devices.

Q: Are there inventory differences between these part numbers?

A: Yes. AGC-V-7-1/2-R has 1019 pieces in stock, while BK/AGC-V-7-1/2-R has 2078 pieces in stock. Selection may depend on required delivery timelines.
