Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/AGC-V-3/10 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Current Rating: 300 mA (exact match)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 35 A (exact match)
• Melting I²t: 0.027 (exact match)
• DC Cold Resistance: 1.084 Ohms (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match)
• Package / Case: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (Axial) (exact match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Size / Dimension: 0.266" Dia x 1.292" L (6.76mm x 32.82mm) (exact match)

Environmental & Certification Requirements:

• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match)
• Approval Agency: CSA, UL (exact match)
• Series: AGC (exact match)

The substitute part BK/AGC-V-3/10-R meets all electrical, mechanical, environmental, and certification criteria for direct substitution. The primary difference between the main part and substitute is packaging configuration and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BK/AGC-V-3/10 and BK/AGC-V-3/10-R are Active products manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and carry identical CSA and UL certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:
