Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

GMC-6-R (Eaton - Electronics Division): Primary part specification. Active production status with established supply. Approved by CSA, KC-MARK, MITI, and UL. ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

BK/GMC-6-R (Eaton - Electronics Division): Direct manufacturer equivalent from Eaton. Identical electrical and mechanical specifications to GMC-6-R. Same approval agencies and compliance certifications. Suitable for direct substitution with equivalent inventory availability.

0233006.MXP (Littelfuse Inc.): Parametric equivalent from alternative manufacturer. Maintains all critical electrical parameters (6 A, 125 V, 10 kA breaking capacity, medium-blow response) and identical physical form factor (5mm x 20mm). Approved by CE, CSA, KC, PSE, and UL. ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Differences in melting I²t (131.455 vs. 88) and DC cold resistance (0.0179 vs. 0.013 Ohms) remain within acceptable parametric equivalence for this fuse category. Operating temperature range specified as -55°C ~ 125°C. Highest inventory availability at 1423 units.

All three parts are suitable for applications requiring a 6 A, 125 V AC/DC glass cartridge fuse in a 5mm x 20mm package with medium-blow characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/GMC-6-R be used as a direct replacement for GMC-6-R?

A: Yes. BK/GMC-6-R is a direct manufacturer equivalent from Eaton - Electronics Division with identical electrical ratings (6 A, 125 V), response time (medium blow), breaking capacity (10 kA), physical dimensions (5mm x 20mm), and approval certifications (CSA, KC-MARK, MITI, UL).

Q: Is 0233006.MXP from Littelfuse compatible with applications designed for GMC-6-R?

A: Yes. The 0233006.MXP maintains all critical electrical parameters: 6 A current rating, 125 V voltage rating, medium-blow response, 10 kA breaking capacity, and identical 5mm x 20mm physical form factor. It is approved by CSA, KC, PSE, CE, and UL, and is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What are the differences between GMC-6-R and 0233006.MXP?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Eaton vs. Littelfuse), melting I²t value (88 vs. 131.455), and DC cold resistance (0.013 vs. 0.0179 Ohms). Both parts meet the same electrical performance requirements for 6 A, 125 V operation. The 0233006.MXP includes an operating temperature specification of -55°C ~ 125°C.

Q: Do all three parts require the same fuse holder?

A: Yes. All three parts are 5mm x 20mm glass cartridge fuses that require a compatible 5mm x 20mm fuse holder. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in holder applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. GMC-6-R, BK/GMC-6-R, and 0233006.MXP are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which part has the highest inventory availability?

A: The 0233006.MXP (Littelfuse) has the highest inventory at 1423 units, compared to 1083 units for BK/GMC-6-R and 1064 units for GMC-6-R.
