Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/5682-41-R is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Fuse Size: 0.25" Dia (6.35mm) — must match exactly
• Fuse Type: Cartridge — must match exactly
• Fuseholder Type: Clip — must match exactly
• Number of Circuits: 1 — must match exactly
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount — must match exactly
• Contact Material: Spring Bronze — must match exactly

The substitute part 01010002Z meets all these criteria. While the substitute introduces additional specifications (250V voltage rating and 15A current rating) not present in the original part documentation, these represent functional enhancements that do not compromise compatibility with the mechanical and electrical interface requirements of the BK/5682-41-R.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 01010002Z from Littelfuse Inc. is the qualified substitute for the obsolete BK/5682-41-R. Selection is based on:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical fuse size (0.25" Dia), mounting type (chassis mount), and clip-based fuseholder design ensure direct physical fit and installation without modification.
• Electrical Interface: Matching contact material (spring bronze) and single-circuit configuration preserve the electrical interface characteristics of the original design.
• Product Availability: The substitute is classified as active product status with confirmed inventory, ensuring procurement reliability for replacement applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current environmental and material restriction standards applicable to electronic components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 01010002Z be used as a direct replacement for the BK/5682-41-R in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 01010002Z matches all critical mechanical and electrical parameters: fuse size (0.25" Dia), mounting type (chassis mount), fuseholder type (clip), number of circuits (1), and contact material (spring bronze). No modification to the assembly or installation procedure is required.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage and current ratings on the 01010002Z?

A: The 01010002Z is rated for 250V and 15A. These specifications define the maximum operating conditions for the fuseholder. The original BK/5682-41-R does not document these ratings, but the substitute's ratings do not restrict its use in applications where the original was specified, provided the application does not exceed these limits.

Q: Why is the BK/5682-41-R classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. This classification necessitates identification of active substitute products to maintain supply chain continuity for repair and maintenance applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the main part and the substitute?

A: The BK/5682-41-R packaging is listed as unspecified. The 01010002Z is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm bulk packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the 01010002Z affect compatibility?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance is a regulatory certification indicating the component meets material restriction standards. This certification does not alter the mechanical or electrical interface and does not affect substitution eligibility.
