Equivalent & Substitute Parts: GLR-5

Part Overview

The GLR-5 is an in-line fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, rated for 5A at 300V. This component is designed for cable wire applications requiring overcurrent protection in electrical circuits. The part is currently active in production with 707 units in stock. Due to supply chain considerations, component lifecycle management, or application-specific requirements, equivalent substitute parts may be necessary for procurement or design flexibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GLR-5 is based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Current Rating: 5A
• Voltage Rating: 300V AC
• Package Type: In-Line configuration
• Fuse Type: Cartridge or in-line form factor
• Response Characteristic: Fast Blow

The substitute part 0LGR005.V from Littelfuse Inc. meets these core electrical specifications. Both parts are rated for 5A at 300VAC and are designed for in-line cable wire protection applications. The substitution is valid where the mechanical form factor and holder requirements are compatible with the application design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GLR-5 (Eaton - Electronics Division):

• Select for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable
• Suitable for legacy system designs and retrofit applications
• Active product status ensures continued availability

0LGR005.V (Littelfuse Inc. - POWR-GARD® LGR Series):

• Select for new designs requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Provides documented breaking capacity of 10kA at rated voltage
• Holds CE, CSA, and UL certifications for broader regulatory acceptance
• Requires compatible holder for installation; verify mechanical compatibility with application housing

Both parts share identical electrical ratings (5A, 300VAC) and are suitable for in-line cable wire protection. Selection between them depends on regulatory compliance requirements and mechanical form factor compatibility with the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0LGR005.V directly replace the GLR-5 in existing applications?

A: Electrical compatibility is confirmed (5A, 300VAC ratings match). However, the 0LGR005.V is a cartridge fuse requiring a holder, while the GLR-5 is an in-line fuse. Mechanical compatibility must be verified based on the specific application's housing and mounting design.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The GLR-5 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 0LGR005.V is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 0LGR005.V is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are both parts suitable for industrial electrical applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 5A at 300VAC and are designed for electrical circuit protection. The 0LGR005.V explicitly lists industrial applications and holds UL, CSA, and CE certifications.

Q: What does "Fast Blow" response time mean?

A: Fast Blow indicates the fuse responds quickly to overcurrent conditions, providing rapid circuit interruption. This characteristic is specified for the 0LGR005.V and is typical for general-purpose electrical protection.

Q: What is the breaking capacity, and why does it matter?

A: Breaking capacity (10kA for the 0LGR005.V) is the maximum fault current the fuse can safely interrupt without rupturing. This specification is critical for safety in high-fault-current environments.

Q: Are both parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. Both the GLR-5 (707 units) and 0LGR005.V (776 units) are available in bulk packaging for production procurement.
