Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BK/AGC-V-25 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 25 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 32 V AC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (Axial) (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 1 kA (exact match required)
• Melting I²t: 3875 (exact match required)
• Approval Agencies: CSA, UL (exact match required)

The identified substitute part BK/AGC-V-25-R maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part. The primary distinction is packaging format (Bulk versus standard packaging) and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BK/AGC-V-25 and BK/AGC-V-25-R are Active status products manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by the following criteria:

BK/AGC-V-25: Select this part number when standard packaging is required and RoHS compliance is not a design constraint.

BK/AGC-V-25-R: Select this part number when bulk packaging is preferred and RoHS compliance is mandated by design specifications or regulatory requirements.

Both parts carry CSA and UL approvals and are suitable for through-hole mounting applications requiring 25 A, 32 V fast-blow protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are BK/AGC-V-25 and BK/AGC-V-25-R electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical current rating (25 A), voltage rating (32 V AC), response time (Fast Blow), breaking capacity (1 kA), melting I²t (3875), and DC cold resistance (0.0027 Ohms).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and RoHS compliance status. BK/AGC-V-25-R is RoHS Compliant, while BK/AGC-V-25 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can BK/AGC-V-25-R be used as a direct replacement for BK/AGC-V-25?

A: Yes, for applications where RoHS compliance is acceptable or required. The mechanical form factor (3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" axial) and all electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts approved by the same certification agencies?

A: Yes. Both BK/AGC-V-25 and BK/AGC-V-25-R carry CSA and UL approvals.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these fuses?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (standard versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection is based on procurement and inventory requirements.
