Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is qualified only when the following key parameters are matched exactly: current rating, voltage rating (AC/DC), response time, package/case type, breaking capacity at rated voltage, mounting type, fuse type, size/dimension, regulatory compliance (RoHS status), and approval agency certifications. Only substitute parts with identical values for each of these parameters are considered parametric equivalents in the fuse cartridge product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring the specifications and certifications of the BK/SC-15 fuse cartridge, the SC-15 part number provides a parametric equivalent. Both fuse cartridges are active, carry identical electrical and mechanical ratings, possess CE, CSA, and UL agency approvals, and conform to ROHS3 compliance. Selecting either part maintains product integrity and regulatory adherence based strictly on the provided parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
