KTS-R-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The KTS-R-6 is a fast-acting AC/DC fuse manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, classified as a FUSE LIMITRON FAST ACTING component. This part is actively produced and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for electrical and industrial applications requiring reliable overcurrent protection. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the KTS-R-6 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility determined by the following parameters:

• Current Rating: 6A
• Voltage Rating: 600 VAC / 250 VDC
• Response Time: Fast Blow
• Fuse Type: Cartridge
• Class: RK1
• Breaking Capacity: Rated voltage performance
• Physical Dimensions: Cartridge form factor
• Compliance: RoHS status and regulatory certifications (CE, CSA, UL)

The KLSR006.T from Littelfuse Inc. meets these substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the POWR-GARD® KLSR series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the KTS-R-6 and KLSR006.T are active production components with current RoHS compliance status. The KTS-R-6 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the KLSR006.T is supplied in box packaging. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and share identical HTSUS commodity codes, indicating regulatory equivalence for trade purposes. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements, inventory availability, and application-specific holder compatibility, as the KLSR006.T requires a dedicated fuse holder for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can KLSR006.T directly replace KTS-R-6 in all applications?

A: Both parts share identical electrical ratings (6A, 600 VAC / 250 VDC, fast-acting response). However, the KLSR006.T requires a fuse holder for installation, whereas the KTS-R-6 packaging type does not specify this requirement. Verify that your application circuit accommodates the cartridge holder requirement before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and box packaging?

A: Bulk packaging typically indicates loose component supply, while box packaging indicates organized, counted quantities. This affects inventory management and handling procedures but does not impact electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The KTS-R-6 is RoHS Compliant, and the KLSR006.T is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements for electrical components.

Q: What does the RK1 class designation mean for the KLSR006.T?

A: RK1 is a fuse class designation indicating specific breaking capacity and performance characteristics. This information is provided for the KLSR006.T but is not specified in the input data for the KTS-R-6. Consult application requirements to confirm RK1 class compatibility with your circuit design.

Q: Are there any voltage or current limitations when substituting?

A: Both parts are rated for 6A at 600 VAC / 250 VDC. No derating or limitation applies when substituting between these parts within these electrical parameters.
