AGW-15 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The AGW-15 is a 15 A, 32 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. This component is designed for use in fuse holders and provides circuit protection in applications requiring fast response to overcurrent conditions. The part is currently in active production status with 674 units available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGW-15 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 15 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: 7AG, 1/4" x 7/8" (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.250" Dia x 0.875" L (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1kA (exact match required)
• DC Cold Resistance: 0.005 Ohms (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)

The substitute part BK/AGW-15 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and belong to the AGW series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AGW-15 and BK/AGW-15 are active production parts manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. They are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. Selection between these two part numbers may be based on inventory availability: AGW-15 has 674 units in stock, while BK/AGW-15 has 1113 units in stock. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). No technical differentiation exists between these two part numbers based on provided specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGW-15 be used as a direct replacement for AGW-15?

A: Yes. BK/AGW-15 is a parametric equivalent to AGW-15. All electrical parameters (15 A current rating, 32 V AC voltage rating, fast-blow response, 1kA breaking capacity, 0.005 Ohms DC cold resistance) and mechanical parameters (7AG package, 0.250" Dia x 0.875" L dimensions, cartridge glass fuse type, holder-mount configuration) are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between AGW-15 and BK/AGW-15?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant) and Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). No approval agency certifications are specified for either part.

Q: What is the difference between AGW-15 and BK/AGW-15 part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ, but the electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Both are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division within the AGW series. The difference in part number designation does not reflect a technical variation.

Q: Can these fuses be used interchangeably in the same fuse holder?

A: Yes. Both AGW-15 and BK/AGW-15 conform to the 7AG package standard with dimensions of 0.250" Dia x 0.875" L (6.35mm x 22.23mm) and are designed for use in compatible 7AG fuse holders.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection may be based on inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or internal part numbering conventions. Both parts are in active production status.
