Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 0695015.L is classified as a parametric equivalent to MCAS015.V based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility:

• Current Rating: 15 A (identical)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 32 V (identical)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (identical)
• Fuse Type: Automotive (identical)
• Package / Case: Auto Link (identical)
• Breaking Capacity @ Rated Voltage: 1 kA (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.421" L x 0.244" W x 0.689" H (identical)
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (identical)

Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and belong to the MCASE™ series family. The substitute differs only in packaging quantity (50 PC versus 1 PC card) and series designation (MCASE™ 695 versus MCASE™), with no impact on electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MCAS015.V and 0695015.L are active products manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. with full compliance to ROHS3 and REACH standards. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements:

• MCAS015.V is suitable for single-unit or low-volume applications requiring individual card packaging.
• 0695015.L is suitable for bulk procurement or high-volume applications requiring 50-piece box packaging.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental operating specifications. Current inventory levels support either selection: 917 units for MCAS015.V and 771 units for 0695015.L.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0695015.L be used as a direct replacement for MCAS015.V?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical current rating (15A), voltage rating (32V DC), response time (Slow Blow), fuse type (Automotive), package configuration (Auto Link), breaking capacity (1kA), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions. The only difference is packaging quantity.

Q: What is the significance of the Auto Link package configuration?

A: Auto Link is the package/case type that defines the physical form factor and mounting interface. Both parts use identical Auto Link configuration, ensuring mechanical compatibility with the same holder and installation requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both are active products with no approval agency restrictions noted.

Q: Does packaging quantity affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Packaging quantity (1 PC card versus 50 PC box) affects only procurement and storage considerations. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: What mounting requirements apply to both parts?

A: Both parts require a holder for installation. They are not designed for direct PCB mounting and must be installed in an appropriate automotive fuse holder compatible with the Auto Link package configuration.
