Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the BK/HTB-96I is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Current Rating: 20 A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Fuse Size: 0.25" Dia x 1.26" L (6.35mm x 32mm)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (3AG compatible)
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)

The substitute part BK/HTB-96I-R maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status, where the substitute achieves RoHS Compliant certification while the original part is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division within the HTB series and support the same fuse specifications and panel mount configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BK/HTB-96I Selection Criteria: Select the BK/HTB-96I when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application and inventory availability is prioritized. This part maintains active production status with higher current inventory levels (1,009 units).

BK/HTB-96I-R Selection Criteria: Select the BK/HTB-96I-R when RoHS Compliant certification is required by design specifications, regulatory requirements, or customer mandates. This part achieves full RoHS compliance while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance. Current inventory is 939 units.

Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications. Selection between these parts should be based solely on RoHS compliance requirements and inventory availability for the specific application timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HTB-96I-R be used as a direct replacement for BK/HTB-96I?

A: Yes. The BK/HTB-96I-R is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. All critical parameters including current rating (20 A), voltage rating (250V), fuse size (0.25" Dia x 1.26" L), mounting type (panel mount), and termination style (Quick Connect - 0.250") are identical. The only difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The BK/HTB-96I is RoHS non-compliant, while the BK/HTB-96I-R is RoHS Compliant. All other specifications, including electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and circuit configuration, are identical.

Q: Are both parts compatible with 3AG cartridge fuses?

A: Yes. Both the BK/HTB-96I and BK/HTB-96I-R are designed for use with 3AG cartridge fuses rated 1/4" x 1-1/4" (SFE-20), with a fuse size of 0.25" Dia x 1.26" L (6.35mm x 32mm).

Q: What is the termination configuration for these fuse holders?

A: Both parts feature Quick Connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) spade connectors, suitable for panel mount applications with standard quick-connect receptacles.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on RoHS compliance requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, specify BK/HTB-96I-R. For applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated, either part is acceptable based on availability and delivery timeline.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.
