Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HTB-96I-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Current Rating: 20 A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Fuse Size: 0.25" Dia x 1.26" L (6.35mm x 32mm)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Termination Style: Quick Connect - 0.250" (6.3mm)

The substitute part BK/HTB-96I-R meets all mandatory parameters identically, confirming direct substitutability. Both parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division within the HTB series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both HTB-96I-R and BK/HTB-96I-R are Active status products manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and supply chain requirements. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. The BK prefix designation on BK/HTB-96I-R does not alter functional or electrical characteristics relative to the base HTB-96I-R model. Either part is suitable for direct substitution in 20 A, 250V single-circuit panel-mount fuse holder applications utilizing 3AG cartridge fuses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/HTB-96I-R be used as a direct replacement for HTB-96I-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching current ratings (20 A), voltage ratings (250V), fuse sizes (0.25" x 1.26"), mounting configurations (panel mount), and termination styles (quick connect 0.250"). Both are Active status products from Eaton - Electronics Division.

Q: What does the "BK" prefix on BK/HTB-96I-R indicate?

A: The BK prefix is a manufacturer designation that does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility. The part remains functionally equivalent to HTB-96I-R.

Q: Are there any differences in RoHS compliance or moisture sensitivity between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical environmental compliance and no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Q: What fuse types are compatible with these holders?

A: Both holders accommodate 3AG cartridge fuses with dimensions 0.25" diameter by 1.26" length (6.35mm x 32mm), rated for 20 A at 250V.

Q: Can these fuse holders be used in applications requiring different current or voltage ratings?

A: No. These holders are rated exclusively for 20 A at 250V. Applications requiring different ratings require different fuse holder models.

Q: What is the termination method for these fuse holders?

A: Both parts use quick-connect termination with 0.250" (6.3mm) connectors, enabling rapid installation and removal without soldering or crimping.
