HBV-M-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The HBV-M-R is a cartridge fuse holder manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, designed for 5mm x 20mm fuses with a 16 A current rating at 250V. This through-hole mounted component is intended for single-circuit PCB applications requiring vertical orientation with PC pin termination. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS Compliant, making it suitable for current electronic assembly standards. Substitute parts are identified when identical electrical and mechanical specifications are required but alternative sourcing or inventory availability is necessary.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HBV-M-R are identified based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic requires matching specifications in the following areas:

Electrical Parameters: Current rating (16 A), voltage rating (250V), and fuse type (Cartridge) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Fuse size (5mm x 20mm), mounting type (Through Hole), orientation (Vertical), number of circuits (1), and termination style (PC Pin) must be identical.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS compliance status and MSL rating must be equivalent or superior.

The substitute part BK/HBV-M-R meets all these criteria, differing only in manufacturer designation prefix and ROHS3 compliance status (an enhanced RoHS standard).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HBV-M-R and BK/HBV-M-R are Active products from Eaton - Electronics Division with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Inventory Availability: HBV-M-R has 1062 pieces in stock, while BK/HBV-M-R has 735 pieces available.

Compliance Status: BK/HBV-M-R carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory documentation. HBV-M-R carries standard RoHS Compliance.

Application Continuity: Either part is suitable for direct substitution in 16 A, 250V single-circuit PCB fuse holder applications requiring 5mm x 20mm cartridge fuses with through-hole vertical mounting and PC pin termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HBV-M-R be used as a direct replacement for HBV-M-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division and share identical electrical ratings (16 A, 250V), mechanical specifications (5mm x 20mm cartridge fuse, through-hole vertical mounting, PC pin termination), and functional design. The BK prefix designation and ROHS3 compliance represent manufacturer variant coding and enhanced regulatory status, not functional differences.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: current rating (16 A), voltage rating (250V), fuse size (5mm x 20mm), fuse type (Cartridge), number of circuits (1), mounting type (Through Hole), orientation (Vertical), and termination style (PC Pin). Deviation in any of these parameters disqualifies a part from direct substitution.

Q: Are there differences in PCB layout requirements between HBV-M-R and BK/HBV-M-R?

A: No. Both parts have identical mounting specifications: through-hole vertical orientation with PC pin termination. PCB footprint and layout requirements are identical.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on BK/HBV-M-R?

A: ROHS3 Compliant status indicates compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3, representing an enhanced or updated compliance standard. This does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but provides additional regulatory documentation for applications requiring advanced compliance certification.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. HBV-M-R and BK/HBV-M-R are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. No design modifications, PCB layout changes, or circuit adjustments are required when substituting between these parts.
