Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are strictly determined by matching the following key parameters: current rating, voltage rating (AC), response time, package/case size, mounting type, fuse type, and approval agency certifications. These parameters ensure electrical, mechanical, and compliance compatibility when replacing the Eaton Bussmann DCM-6 cartridge fuse.

Listed substitute: Eaton Bussmann KTK-R-6, which matches the critical specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DCM-6 part status is obsolete. The KTK-R-6 is active and maintains required certifications (CE, CSA, UL) and regulatory compliance. Both parts comply with the necessary approval agencies for electrical and industrial applications. Selection is based on continued availability, matching electrical ratings, and compatibility with current certification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Which key parameters must match when selecting a fuse cartridge substitute for DCM-6?
A: Required parameters include current rating (6A), voltage rating (600 VAC), response time (Fast Blow), mounting type (Requires Holder), fuse type (Cartridge), package/case (5AG, 10mm x 38mm), and approval agency certifications (CSA, UL).

Q: Is KTK-R-6 fully compatible with the physical and electrical requirements for replacing DCM-6?
A: The KTK-R-6 matches all listed mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and required certifications, making it an acceptable substitute.

Q: Are there any differences in breaking capacity between DCM-6 and KTK-R-6?
A: DCM-6 specifies breaking capacity at 100kA AC, 50kA DC; KTK-R-6 lists 200kA. Both ratings exceed typical requirements for the specified voltage and current.

Q: Will mounting hardware or holder compatibility change?
A: Both components require holders and share the same 5AG, 10mm x 38mm package dimensions. No modification to holder or mounting is required based on the provided specifications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for electrical and industrial applications, as per original specifications?
A: Yes, both DCM-6 and KTK-R-6 are specified for electrical and industrial applications with verified approval agency certifications.
