Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ATDR12 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 12A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 600V (exact match required)
• Fuse Class: CC (exact match required)
• Packaging: Cartridge format with standard dimensions

The LP-CC-12 manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (12A, 600VAC) and belong to the same fuse class (CC). The LP-CC-12 additionally provides 150VDC rating capability, which does not conflict with the ATDR12 application envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ATDR12 and LP-CC-12 are active production components with identical core electrical ratings (12A, 600VAC, CC class). Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply availability and lead time requirements
• Packaging format preference (Box vs. Bulk)
• RoHS compliance requirements for end applications (ATDR12 is RoHS non-compliant; LP-CC-12 is ROHS3 compliant)
• Regulatory certifications required (both carry CE, CSA, UR approvals for the LP-CC-12; certification details for ATDR12 not provided)
• Inventory status (ATDR12: 1177 pcs; LP-CC-12: 892 pcs available)

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the LP-CC-12 is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LP-CC-12 be used as a direct replacement for the ATDR12?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical current (12A) and AC voltage (600V) ratings and belong to the same CC fuse class. The LP-CC-12 is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications designed for the ATDR12.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The ATDR12 is supplied in Box packaging, while the LP-CC-12 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and handling but does not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Q: Does the LP-CC-12's 150VDC rating affect compatibility?

A: No. The additional 150VDC rating on the LP-CC-12 expands its application envelope without compromising performance in 600VAC-only circuits. This represents a superset of capability.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring RoHS3 compliance, specify the LP-CC-12. Both parts are active production items; selection should align with supply chain strategy and regulatory requirements of the end application.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these fuses?

A: The LP-CC-12 is specified as 0.394" Dia x 1.496" L (10.00mm x 38.00mm), classified as 5AG, 10mm x 38mm (Midget). Dimensional specifications for the ATDR12 are not provided in the reference data.
