Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between BK/HTB-62I and BK/HTB-62I-R is based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Current Rating: 20 A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Fuse Size: 0.25" Dia x 1.26" L (6.35mm x 32mm)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.187" (4.7mm)
• Series: HTB
• For Use With: 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (SFE-20)

The primary distinction between these parts relates to RoHS compliance status and inventory availability, not functional performance or physical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both BK/HTB-62I and BK/HTB-62I-R are functionally equivalent cartridge fuse holders with identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

BK/HTB-62I is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable or where legacy component specifications are required.

BK/HTB-62I-R is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance. This variant also offers higher inventory availability (2184 units versus 675 units), providing improved supply chain reliability.

Both parts carry REACH Unaffected status and share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, indicating no additional regulatory constraints on substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HTB-62I-R be used as a direct replacement for BK/HTB-62I?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same 20 A current rating, 250V voltage rating, cartridge fuse size (0.25" Dia x 1.26" L), panel mount configuration, and quick connect termination. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the significance of the "-R" designation in BK/HTB-62I-R?

A: The "-R" suffix indicates ROHS3 compliance. This variant meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts accommodate the same 3AG, 1/4" x 1-1/4" (SFE-20) cartridge fuses and use identical quick connect termination at 0.187" (4.7mm).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, BK/HTB-62I-R is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable based on availability and project specifications.

Q: Is there a performance difference between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are rated for identical electrical parameters (20 A, 250V) and physical specifications. Performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: BK/HTB-62I has 675 units in stock. BK/HTB-62I-R has 2184 units in stock, providing greater availability for immediate procurement.
