Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGW-20 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 20 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: 1 kA (exact match required)
• DC Cold Resistance: 0.003 Ohms (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)

The substitute part BK/AGW-20 meets all electrical and mechanical parameter requirements for direct substitution in applications currently using the AGW-20.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AGW-20 and BK/AGW-20 are active production components manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. Both parts carry identical electrical specifications (20 A, 32 V AC/DC, fast-blow response, 1 kA breaking capacity) and mechanical specifications (7AG package, 0.250" Dia x 0.875" L dimensions). Both parts are RoHS non-compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Selection between these parts is based on availability and procurement requirements, as they are parametrically equivalent for all circuit protection applications requiring these specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGW-20 be used as a direct replacement for AGW-20?

A: Yes. The BK/AGW-20 is parametrically equivalent to the AGW-20 across all electrical and mechanical parameters, including current rating (20 A), voltage rating (32 V AC), response time (fast-blow), package type (7AG), and physical dimensions (0.250" Dia x 0.875" L).

Q: Are there any differences in performance between AGW-20 and BK/AGW-20?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics: 20 A current rating, 32 V AC/DC voltage rating, fast-blow response time, 1 kA breaking capacity, and 0.003 Ohms DC cold resistance.

Q: What fuse holder is required for these parts?

A: Both AGW-20 and BK/AGW-20 require a 7AG fuse holder. The 7AG package designation specifies the holder compatibility for these 1/4" x 7/8" cartridge fuses.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both AGW-20 and BK/AGW-20 are RoHS non-compliant components.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these fuses?

A: Both parts have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can these 32 V fuses be used in higher voltage applications?

A: No. The voltage rating of 32 V AC is the maximum rated voltage. Use only in applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed this specification.
