Equivalent & Substitute Parts: GMF-6/10

Part Overview

The GMF-6/10 is a 600mA 300 VAC slow blow fuse cartridge manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. This component is designed for electrical and industrial applications requiring overcurrent protection in AC circuits rated at 300 volts. The cartridge fuse requires a compatible holder for installation and operation. The part maintains active product status with 997 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory certifications align with the original specification, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the GMF-6/10 is permissible when the alternative component maintains identical electrical parameters: 600mA current rating, 300 VAC voltage rating, slow blow response characteristic, and 10kA breaking capacity at rated voltage. The fuse type must remain cartridge format requiring a holder for installation. Regulatory compliance must include CE, CSA, and UL certifications. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through cartridge package classification. The substitute part 0LMF.600V from Littelfuse Inc. satisfies all substitution criteria through direct parameter alignment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the GMF-6/10 and 0LMF.600V maintain active product status and carry identical regulatory certifications (CE, CSA, UL), confirming ongoing manufacturer support and compliance with international safety standards. The GMF-6/10 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 0LMF.600V is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection between these components should consider regulatory environment requirements and supply chain availability. The 0LMF.600V from Littelfuse Inc. (POWR-GARD® LMF series) provides 692 units in inventory, while the GMF-6/10 provides 997 units. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.10.0040.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0LMF.600V directly replace the GMF-6/10 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (600mA, 300 VAC, slow blow, 10kA breaking capacity), fuse type (cartridge), mounting requirement (holder), and regulatory certifications (CE, CSA, UL). Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through cartridge package classification.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of these cartridge fuses?

A: The 0LMF.600V is specified as 0.610" diameter by 1.820" length (15.49mm x 46.23mm). The GMF-6/10 dimensions are not provided in the available specification data.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The GMF-6/10 is RoHS non-compliant. The 0LMF.600V is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should specify the 0LMF.600V.

Q: Do both fuses require the same holder type?

A: Both components are cartridge fuses requiring a compatible holder for installation. Holder compatibility must be verified against the specific holder model used in the application.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity classification for these components?

A: Both the GMF-6/10 and 0LMF.600V are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
