FX0460 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FX0460 is a cartridge fuse holder manufactured by Bulgin, rated for 10 A at 250V with panel mount configuration. This component is designed for single-circuit applications using 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses. The FX0460 is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this series is no longer available.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FX0460 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 10 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250V (exact match required)
• Fuse Size: 5mm x 20mm cartridge format (exact match required)
• Number of Circuits: 1 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount (exact match required)
• Termination Style: Solder Lug (exact match required)
• Contact Material: Brass (exact match required)

The BK/HTC-30M manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an active product, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete FX0460.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BK/HTC-30M is the direct functional equivalent for the FX0460. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 10 A, 250V single-circuit cartridge fuse holder applications with panel mount configuration.

The BK/HTC-30M is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support, whereas the FX0460 is obsolete. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The contact finish differs between the two parts (silver on FX0460 versus tin on BK/HTC-30M). This difference does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications, as both finishes provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for the specified voltage and current ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BK/HTC-30M be used as a direct replacement for the FX0460?

A: Yes. The BK/HTC-30M meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for the FX0460, including current rating, voltage rating, fuse size, mounting configuration, and termination style.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference?

A: The FX0460 features silver contact finish while the BK/HTC-30M features tin contact finish. Both materials provide adequate electrical performance for this application. The choice between them is not a limiting factor for substitution in standard 10 A, 250V circuits.

Q: Why is the FX0460 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the FX0460 is no longer manufactured by Bulgin. The BK/HTC-30M remains in active production, making it the recommended source for new procurement and replacement applications.

Q: Are there any compliance concerns with using the BK/HTC-30M?

A: No. The BK/HTC-30M maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the regulatory profile of the FX0460.

Q: What fuse types are compatible with these holders?

A: Both the FX0460 and BK/HTC-30M accept 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses rated for 250V operation.
