Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MF-USML350-2 is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Voltage rating must equal or exceed 6V maximum
  • Current hold (Ih) rating must equal 4.6A
  • Current trip (It) rating must equal 7A
  • Mounting type must be Surface Mount
  • Package must be 1210 (3225 Metric), Concave
  • Operating temperature range must encompass -40°C to 85°C
  • RoHS3 compliance and cURus/TUV approvals must be maintained

The MF-USML350/6-2 meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same manufacturer series (Multifuse® MF-USML/X), offering identical electrical ratings and package specifications with improved product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MF-USML350/6-2 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MF-USML350-2. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and regulatory compliance. The MF-USML350/6-2 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Selection of the MF-USML350/6-2 is appropriate for new designs and production transitions from the obsolete part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MF-USML350/6-2 be used as a direct replacement for MF-USML350-2?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage ratings (6V), current hold ratings (4.6A), current trip ratings (7A), package specifications (1210 Concave), and regulatory approvals (cURus, TUV, ROHS3). The MF-USML350/6-2 is the active equivalent.

Q: What are the differences between MF-USML350-2 and MF-USML350/6-2?

A: The primary differences are product status (Obsolete vs. Active), time to trip (2s vs. 5s), initial resistance (3 mOhms vs. 2 mOhms), post-trip resistance (18 mOhms vs. 22 mOhms), thickness (0.024" vs. 0.047"), and packaging format (unspecified vs. Tape & Reel). Electrical performance and package footprint remain equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The MF-USML350/6-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, whereas the MF-USML350-2 packaging is unspecified. Both maintain identical 1210 (3225 Metric) Concave package geometry suitable for surface mount assembly.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry cURus and TUV approvals, and maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C). Regulatory compliance is equivalent.
