Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HTB-38M-R is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part BK/HTB-38M-R maintains identical specifications for current rating (16 A), voltage rating (250V), fuse accommodation (5mm x 20mm cartridge), circuit count (1), mounting configuration (panel mount), and termination style (Quick Connect - 0.250"). Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division within the HTB series and carry Active product status with RoHS compliance certification.

The only distinction between these parts is packaging format: HTB-38M-R is supplied in Bulk packaging, while BK/HTB-38M-R is supplied in Bag packaging. This packaging difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HTB-38M-R and BK/HTB-38M-R are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring a 16 A, 250V single-circuit cartridge fuse holder with panel mount configuration. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

HTB-38M-R (Bulk packaging) is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing environments or applications requiring large quantity procurement. BK/HTB-38M-R (Bag packaging) is suitable for smaller batch operations, component kits, or applications with lower unit volume requirements.

Both parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory conformance for current and future applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HTB-38M-R be used as a direct replacement for HTB-38M-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Bag). Functional performance, fuse accommodation, electrical ratings, and mounting characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What determines whether a fuse holder can substitute for the HTB-38M-R?

A: Substitute fuse holders must match all of the following parameters: 16 A current rating, 250V voltage rating, 5mm x 20mm fuse size accommodation, cartridge fuse type, single circuit configuration, panel mount orientation, and Quick Connect 0.250" (6.3mm) termination style.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance or compatibility?

A: No. Bulk and Bag packaging formats do not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by procurement quantity, storage requirements, and supply chain logistics.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both HTB-38M-R and BK/HTB-38M-R carry RoHS Compliant certification and maintain Active product status with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the difference in inventory availability between these parts?

A: HTB-38M-R (Bulk) has 1062 pieces in stock. BK/HTB-38M-R (Bag) has 4056 pieces in stock. Availability may vary based on current procurement cycles and supply conditions.
