Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the HRJ-LESS-FUSE is based on the following allowed parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Manufacturer: Eaton - Electronics Division (same manufacturer)
• Fuse holder type and mounting configuration
• Termination style: Wire leads
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN and HTSUS classification alignment
• Product status: Active

The identified substitute part BK/HRJ shares the same manufacturer and functional category as an in-line fuse holder with wire lead termination. Both parts are classified under HTSUS 8538.90.8180 and carry identical MSL ratings, indicating compatibility within the same application environment.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

HRJ-LESS-FUSE Selection: The HRJ-LESS-FUSE maintains Active product status with RoHS Compliant certification. This part is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance and carries unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance (MSL 1). Current inventory of 705 pieces supports immediate availability for production requirements.

BK/HRJ Selection: The BK/HRJ is an Active product with specified electrical parameters (20 A at 32V) and identical MSL rating. However, this part carries RoHS non-compliant status. Selection of BK/HRJ is appropriate only for applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory or design requirement. The higher inventory level (1156 pieces) provides extended availability.

Compliance Consideration: The primary differentiator between these parts is RoHS compliance status. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use HRJ-LESS-FUSE. Applications without RoHS requirements may utilize BK/HRJ based on electrical parameter compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the primary difference between HRJ-LESS-FUSE and BK/HRJ?

A: Both parts are in-line fuse holders from Eaton with wire lead termination and identical MSL ratings. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status: HRJ-LESS-FUSE is RoHS Compliant, while BK/HRJ is RoHS non-compliant. BK/HRJ specifies electrical parameters (20 A, 32V), while HRJ-LESS-FUSE does not include these specifications in the provided data.

Q: Can BK/HRJ be used as a direct replacement for HRJ-LESS-FUSE?

A: Substitution depends on application requirements. Both parts share the same manufacturer, mounting configuration (in-line), termination style (wire leads), and MSL rating. However, RoHS compliance requirements must be evaluated. If RoHS compliance is mandatory, HRJ-LESS-FUSE is the required selection.

Q: What fuse sizes are compatible with these holders?

A: HRJ-LESS-FUSE is specified for 1/4" wire lead applications. BK/HRJ is compatible with 0.25" diameter fuses (1/4" equivalent) with 1.26" length (32mm). Both accommodate 3AG and 1/4" x 1-1/4" fuse types.

Q: Are there electrical parameter limitations for substitution?

A: BK/HRJ specifies 20 A current rating at 32V. HRJ-LESS-FUSE electrical parameters are not provided in the available data. Substitution requires verification that the application's voltage and current requirements align with the specified part's ratings.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) for both parts?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance, meaning these components do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. Both parts are suitable for standard manufacturing environments without specialized dry-pack requirements.

Q: How do packaging and inventory levels affect selection?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. HRJ-LESS-FUSE has 705 pieces in stock, while BK/HRJ has 1156 pieces available. Inventory levels may influence lead time and supply chain planning but do not affect functional compatibility.
