Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BK/GMD-V-1-R are identified based on strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Current Rating: 1 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250 V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 5mm x 20mm (Axial) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 35 A (exact match required)

Parametric Equivalent Classification: Parts meeting all primary substitution criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and may be used interchangeably in applications where the main part is specified.

Similar Part Classification: Parts meeting all primary substitution criteria but with minor dimensional or thermal operating range variations are classified as similar parts and are functionally compatible within the specified electrical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/S506-V-1-R be used as a direct replacement for BK/GMD-V-1-R?

A: Yes. The BK/S506-V-1-R is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical ratings (1 A, 250 V AC), fuse type (Cartridge, Glass), response time (Slow Blow), package dimensions (5mm x 20mm Axial), and breaking capacity (35 A). Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and are RoHS3 compliant.

Q: Can 0213001.MXEP be used as a direct replacement for BK/GMD-V-1-R?

A: Yes. The 0213001.MXEP is a similar part with identical electrical ratings (1 A, 250 V AC), fuse type (Cartridge, Glass), response time (Slow Blow), package classification (5mm x 20mm Axial), and breaking capacity (35 A). Physical dimensions show minor variation (5.80mm x 22.50mm versus 5.54mm x 21.10mm). Verify mechanical fit in the target application before deployment.

Q: What is the difference between parametric equivalent and similar part classifications?

A: Parametric equivalent parts match all primary electrical and mechanical parameters with identical dimensions. Similar parts match all primary electrical and mechanical parameters but may have minor dimensional or thermal operating range variations. Both classifications indicate functional compatibility within specified electrical parameters.

Q: Are there approval certification differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. BK/GMD-V-1-R carries CSA, PSE/JET, and UL certifications. BK/S506-V-1-R carries BSI, CCC, CSA, CURUS, IMQ, PSE/JET, SEMKO, and VDE certifications. 0213001.MXEP carries BSI, CCC, CE, CSA, PSE, SEMKO, UR, and VDE certifications. Verify that the selected substitute part meets the regulatory requirements of the target application.

Q: What is the significance of DC Cold Resistance variation among these parts?

A: DC Cold Resistance values (BK/GMD-V-1-R: 0.3065 Ohms, BK/S506-V-1-R: 0.0757 Ohms, 0213001.MXEP: 0.1165 Ohms) reflect internal construction differences. All parts meet the 1 A, 250 V AC/DC electrical specification. Resistance variation does not affect substitution eligibility when all primary electrical parameters are matched.

Q: What is the significance of Melting I²t variation among these parts?

A: Melting I²t values (BK/GMD-V-1-R: 12, BK/S506-V-1-R: 6.45, 0213001.MXEP: 19.2) indicate thermal energy absorption characteristics. All parts are classified as Slow Blow response time and meet the 1 A, 250 V AC/DC specification. Variation in this parameter reflects different internal element designs but does not affect substitution eligibility when all primary electrical parameters are matched.

Q: Is physical dimension variation between 0213001.MXEP and the main part significant?

A: The 0213001.MXEP has dimensions of 5.80mm x 22.50mm compared to the main part at 5.54mm x 21.10mm. This represents a minor increase in diameter and length. Verify mechanical fit within the fuse holder or socket of the target application before deployment.
