KLM-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KLM-2 is a 2A 600VAC/VDC fast-blow cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division. This component is designed for electrical and industrial applications requiring overcurrent protection in circuits rated up to 600 volts AC or DC. The part is currently active in production with 699 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and approval certifications align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in holder-based fuse installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the KLM-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Current Rating: 2A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 600 VAC and 600 VDC (both must match)
• Response Time: Fast Blow (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (exact match required)
• Breaking Capacity: 100kA AC, 50kA DC (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.406" Dia x 1.500" L (exact match required)
• Approval Certifications: CE, CSA, UL (minimum required)

The KLKD002.T from Littelfuse Inc. meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The KLKD002.T is a direct equivalent substitute for the KLM-2. Both parts carry active product status and meet identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and breaking capacity requirements. Both components hold CE, CSA, and UL certifications, with the KLKD002.T additionally certified by VDE. Both are ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, packaging format (KLM-2 supplied in bulk; KLKD002.T supplied in box), or supply chain requirements, as all technical parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the KLKD002.T replace the KLM-2 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The KLKD002.T meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the KLM-2, including current rating, voltage rating, response time, breaking capacity, and physical dimensions. Both parts are designed for holder-based mounting and carry equivalent certifications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Dimensions are functionally equivalent. The KLM-2 is specified as 0.406" Dia x 1.500" L (10.30mm x 38.10mm), and the KLKD002.T is 0.406" Dia x 1.500" L (10.31mm x 38.10mm). The 0.01mm difference in diameter is within manufacturing tolerance and does not affect holder compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The KLM-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the KLKD002.T is supplied in box packaging. This is a logistics consideration only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts carry the same certifications?

A: Both parts hold CE, CSA, and UL certifications. The KLKD002.T additionally carries VDE certification. All required certifications for the KLM-2 application are present in both parts.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the KLM-2 and KLKD002.T are ROHS3 compliant.
