Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PMA-KB-01H-SOS from OptiFuse is a direct functional equivalent to the HKP-L-BB. Both components share identical electrical ratings (30 A, 250V), mechanical dimensions (0.25" Dia x 1.26" L), and material specifications (brass contacts with tin finish). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

The primary distinction is product status: the HKP-L-BB is obsolete, while the PMA-KB-01H-SOS maintains active production status. This status difference ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for the OptiFuse substitute part.

Selection of PMA-KB-01H-SOS is appropriate for direct replacement applications where the HKP-L-BB is no longer available through standard procurement channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PMA-KB-01H-SOS directly replace HKP-L-BB in existing installations?
