Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/HTB-26M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 16 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250V (exact match required)
• Fuse Size: 0.197" Dia x 0.787" L (5mm x 20mm) (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (exact match required)
• Number of Circuits: 1 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (exact match required)
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) (exact match required)

The substitute part BK/HTB-26M-R meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct replacement. Differences in RoHS compliance status and inventory levels do not affect functional interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BK/HTB-26M and BK/HTB-26M-R are active production parts from Eaton - Electronics Division with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements:

• BK/HTB-26M: Suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or not required by design specifications.
• BK/HTB-26M-R: Required for applications subject to ROHS3 compliance mandates or customer specifications requiring RoHS-compliant components.

Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and are subject to identical HTSUS tariff codes. Inventory availability differs, with BK/HTB-26M-R offering higher stock levels (1694 pieces versus 832 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HTB-26M-R be used as a direct replacement for BK/HTB-26M?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, accommodating 16 A at 250V with 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses in single-circuit panel mount configurations. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS compliance affects regulatory eligibility for specific markets and applications. BK/HTB-26M-R meets ROHS3 requirements, while BK/HTB-26M does not. Selection depends on application requirements and regional regulations.

Q: Are the termination styles identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm) termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing panel mount assemblies.

Q: Does fuse size compatibility affect substitution?

A: No. Both parts are designed for identical 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses. Fuse compatibility is determined by the holder specifications, which are identical across both part numbers.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
