Equivalent & Substitute Parts for HBV-I-R Cartridge Fuse Holder

Part Overview

The HBV-I-R is a cartridge fuse holder manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, designed for PCB mounting applications. This through-hole mounted component accommodates 3AG cartridge fuses rated at 16 A, 250V with a 0.25" diameter x 1.26" length (6.35mm x 32mm) form factor. The product is currently active in production and maintains RoHS compliance. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, regional availability, or supply chain requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BK/HBV-I-R cartridge fuse holder is a direct functional and electrical equivalent to the HBV-I-R. Both components are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and maintain active product status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Inventory: The HBV-I-R maintains 887 pieces in stock, while BK/HBV-I-R maintains 1289 pieces in stock. Either part may be selected based on supply chain requirements and lead time considerations.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The BK/HBV-I-R carries ROHS3 compliance designation, which represents an updated compliance standard. The HBV-I-R carries RoHS Compliant designation. Both are acceptable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

REACH Status: The BK/HBV-I-R is designated as REACH Unaffected, providing additional regulatory clarity for European applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: No differences exist in electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, or fuse compatibility. Direct substitution is permissible in all circuit applications where the HBV-I-R is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HBV-I-R be used as a direct replacement for HBV-I-R in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share identical current ratings (16 A), voltage ratings (250V), fuse size specifications (0.25" Dia x 1.26" L), mounting type (through hole), and termination style (PC pin). Direct substitution is permissible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant designations?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) requirements. ROHS3 represents a more recent version of the RoHS standard. Both parts meet current RoHS requirements and are acceptable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Are the fuse cartridges compatible between HBV-I-R and BK/HBV-I-R?

A: Yes. Both holders accommodate identical 3AG cartridge fuses with 1/4" x 1-1/4" (6.35mm x 32mm) dimensions. Fuse cartridges are fully interchangeable between the two holders.

Q: What does REACH Unaffected mean for the BK/HBV-I-R?

A: REACH Unaffected indicates that the component is not subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulatory requirements. This designation applies to certain electronic components and provides regulatory clarity for European supply chains.

Q: Can these fuse holders be used in vertical or horizontal PCB orientations?

A: Both parts are specified for vertical orientation. The termination style (PC pin) and mechanical design are configured for vertical mounting on PCBs. Horizontal mounting is not supported by the specified orientation parameter.

Q: What is the current rating tolerance for these 16 A fuse holders?

A: The current rating is specified as 16 A. This rating applies to the fuse holder's design and is compatible with 16 A cartridge fuses. The actual circuit protection is determined by the fuse cartridge installed in the holder.

Q: Are there any differences in contact material or finish between the two parts?

A: Contact material and contact finish specifications are not provided in the technical parameters for either part. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and maintain identical electrical performance specifications.
