AGW-30 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The AGW-30 is a 30 A, 32 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. This component is designed for circuit protection in applications requiring rapid response to overcurrent conditions. The fuse operates in a cartridge form factor (7AG, 1/4" x 7/8") and requires a compatible holder for installation.

The AGW-30 maintains Active product status with 1186 pieces currently in stock. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain continuity, support design flexibility, and maintain circuit protection performance across equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AGW-30 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Current Rating: 30 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)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.250" Dia x 0.875" L (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 1 kA (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed below satisfy these parameters without exception. Substitution is valid only when all critical parameters align with the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AGW-30 and BK/AGW-30 are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and maintain Active product status. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including current rating, voltage rating, fuse type, response time, package configuration, and breaking capacity.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements. The AGW-30 currently maintains higher inventory (1186 pieces) compared to BK/AGW-30 (905 pieces). Both parts carry identical compliance classifications (RoHS non-compliant, ECCN EAR99, MSL 1).

No technical performance differentiation exists between these parts. Either part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 30 A, 32 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse in 7AG form factor.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGW-30 be used as a direct replacement for AGW-30?

A: Yes. The BK/AGW-30 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All critical parameters—current rating, voltage rating, fuse type, response time, package configuration, and breaking capacity—match exactly.

Q: Are there any differences in performance between AGW-30 and BK/AGW-30?

A: No. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and share identical specifications for current rating (30 A), voltage rating (32 V AC), response time (Fast Blow), breaking capacity (1 kA), and DC cold resistance (0.002 Ohms).

Q: What holder is required for these fuses?

A: Both AGW-30 and BK/AGW-30 require a compatible 7AG cartridge fuse holder. The fuse dimensions are 0.250" diameter x 0.875" length (6.35mm x 22.23mm).

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both AGW-30 and BK/AGW-30 are RoHS non-compliant. Both carry ECCN classification EAR99 and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the difference between AGW-30 and BK/AGW-30 part numbers?

A: The part numbers differ in designation, but both are from the same AGW series manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The difference is administrative and does not affect functional performance or compatibility.

Q: Can I substitute these fuses with different current or voltage ratings?

A: No. Substitution is valid only when all electrical parameters match exactly. Current rating (30 A) and voltage rating (32 V AC) must not be altered. Using fuses with different ratings will compromise circuit protection and may create safety hazards.
