BK/AGC-V-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BK/AGC-V-6 is a 6 A 250 V AC/DC fast-blow glass cartridge fuse with 3AB/3AG package configuration and through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new designs. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics to ensure direct interchangeability in existing circuit protection applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BK/AGC-V-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Current Rating: 6 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V AC (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: 3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 200 A (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer equivalents from Eaton Electronics Division and parametric equivalents from Littelfuse Inc. All substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Eaton Electronics Division):

BK/AGC-V-6-R and AGC-V-6-R are direct manufacturer equivalents from Eaton Electronics Division. Both parts are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete BK/AGC-V-6. These parts feature RoHS compliance and maintain the same current rating, voltage rating, breaking capacity, and operating temperature range. Selection between BK/AGC-V-6-R and AGC-V-6-R depends on packaging requirements; both are available in bulk packaging.

Secondary Substitutes (Littelfuse Inc.):

0318006.HXP and 0318006.MXP are parametric equivalents from Littelfuse Inc. These parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both Littelfuse parts carry expanded approval certifications (CE, CSA, KC, PSE, UL) compared to the original part. Minor variations exist in DC cold resistance (0.0178 Ohms versus 0.015 Ohms) and melting I²t (118 versus 144.36), which remain within acceptable tolerance for 6 A 250 V fast-blow cartridge fuse applications. Both Littelfuse parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products.

For applications requiring exact parameter matching with the original BK/AGC-V-6, Eaton Electronics Division substitutes (BK/AGC-V-6-R or AGC-V-6-R) are preferred. For applications where expanded regulatory certifications are beneficial, Littelfuse substitutes (0318006.HXP or 0318006.MXP) are suitable alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/AGC-V-6-R directly replace the obsolete BK/AGC-V-6?

A: Yes. BK/AGC-V-6-R is a direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical ratings (6 A, 250 V AC), fuse type (cartridge, glass), response time (fast blow), package configuration (3AB, 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4"), mounting type (through hole), breaking capacity (200 A), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between BK/AGC-V-6-R and AGC-V-6-R?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Eaton Electronics Division and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is in the part number designation; AGC-V-6-R is the parametric equivalent designation while BK/AGC-V-6-R includes the manufacturer prefix. Both are active products suitable for substitution.

Q: Can Littelfuse 0318006.HXP or 0318006.MXP replace the BK/AGC-V-6?

A: Yes. Both Littelfuse parts meet all critical substitution parameters: 6 A current rating, 250 V AC voltage rating, cartridge glass fuse type, fast-blow response, 3AB/3AG package configuration, through-hole mounting, 200 A breaking capacity, and -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature. Minor differences in DC cold resistance (0.0178 Ohms versus 0.015 Ohms) and melting I²t (118 versus 144.36) do not prevent functional substitution in standard circuit protection applications.

Q: What are the approval certifications for each substitute part?

A: BK/AGC-V-6-R and AGC-V-6-R carry CSA and UL approvals. Littelfuse parts 0318006.HXP and 0318006.MXP carry expanded certifications: CE, CSA, KC, PSE, and UL. All parts meet the original BK/AGC-V-6 approval requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: BK/AGC-V-6-R and AGC-V-6-R are RoHS compliant. Littelfuse parts 0318006.HXP and 0318006.MXP are ROHS3 compliant. The original BK/AGC-V-6 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, all identified substitute parts are suitable.

Q: What is the physical dimension difference between Eaton and Littelfuse substitutes?

A: Eaton substitutes (BK/AGC-V-6-R and AGC-V-6-R) have dimensions of 0.266" Dia x 1.292" L (6.76mm x 32.82mm). Littelfuse substitutes (0318006.HXP and 0318006.MXP) have dimensions of 0.275" Dia x 1.288" L (6.99mm x 32.72mm). Both configurations fit the 3AB/3AG package specification and are mechanically compatible with through-hole mounting applications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, select from active products with current manufacturing status. BK/AGC-V-6-R, AGC-V-6-R, 0318006.HXP, and 0318006.MXP are all active products. Selection depends on preferred manufacturer (Eaton or Littelfuse), required certifications, and compliance requirements. All parts are functionally equivalent for 6 A 250 V fast-blow cartridge fuse applications.
