LINK002M.Z Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LINK002M.Z is a 30 A, 600V cartridge fuse holder manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for DIN rail mounting in two-circuit configurations. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing. The Up-LINK™ series fuse holder accommodates 5AG cartridge fuses (10mm x 38mm) with screw terminal and pressure plate termination.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LINK002M.Z is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 30 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 600V (exact match required)
• Fuse Size: 10mm x 38mm cartridge (5AG standard)
• Number of Circuits: 2 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge holder (exact match required)

The CHM2DIU from Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division meets all substitution criteria. Both components are designed to accommodate identical cartridge fuses, operate at the same electrical ratings, and provide equivalent two-circuit DIN rail mounting functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CHM2DIU is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the LINK002M.Z. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Electrical equivalence: Identical current and voltage ratings ensure direct functional replacement
• Mechanical compatibility: Matching fuse size and DIN rail mounting eliminate mechanical redesign requirements
• Compliance status: Both components meet RoHS requirements; the CHM2DIU maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• Circuit configuration: Two-circuit design matches the original specification exactly

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CHM2DIU directly replace the LINK002M.Z in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (30 A, 600V), fuse accommodation (10mm x 38mm cartridge), circuit count (2), and DIN rail mounting. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What fuse types are compatible with these holders?

A: Both the LINK002M.Z and CHM2DIU accommodate 5AG cartridge fuses measuring 0.394" diameter by 1.496" length (10mm x 38mm).

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The LINK002M.Z carries ROHS3 certification, while the CHM2DIU is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for their respective product statuses.

Q: Why is the LINK002M.Z listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence reflects the manufacturer's discontinuation of the Up-LINK™ series. The CHM2DIU from the active CHM series provides equivalent functionality with ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for component selection?

A: The CHM2DIU is currently available with 861 pieces in stock as new original inventory, providing immediate sourcing capability compared to the obsolete LINK002M.Z.
