Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MF-R075-AP-17 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must match identically for a part to function as a direct substitute:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Voltage - Maximum: 60V
• Current - Hold (Ih) Maximum: 750 mA
• Current - Trip (It): 1.5 A
• Current - Maximum: 40 A
• Time to Trip: 6.3 s
• Resistance - Initial (Ri) Minimum: 180 mOhms
• Resistance - Post Trip (R1) Maximum: 600 mOhms
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial, Disc
• Diameter: 10.40 mm
• Thickness: 3.10 mm
• Height - Seated Maximum: 16.00 mm
• Lead Spacing: 5.10 mm

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to packaging format (Tape & Box versus Cut Tape) and approval agency certifications. These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance in circuit applications.
