Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PCC-2-1/2-R are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment:

Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (Eaton - Electronics Division): BK/PCC-2-1/2-R and BK/PCB-2-1/2-R are direct substitutes manufactured by Eaton. These parts maintain identical electrical specifications: 2.5 A current rating, 250 V AC / 450 V DC voltage ratings, fast-blow response, 50A AC / 5.9kA DC breaking capacity, and 0.3 melting I²t. Physical dimensions, mounting configuration (through-hole radial), and package type (radial, box) are identical. Both hold Active product status with CSA and UL approval. BK/PCH-2-1/2-R is also an Eaton equivalent with identical parameters.

Parametric Equivalent (Different Manufacturer): The SCHURTER Inc. part 7100.1069.13 (FRT 250F series) is classified as a parametric equivalent. This part shares the same current rating (2.5 A), AC voltage rating (250 V), fast-blow response, through-hole radial mounting, and radial box package. However, the DC voltage rating is 250 V (not 450 V), breaking capacity is 63A (not 50A AC / 5.9kA DC), melting I²t is 1.2 (not 0.3), and physical dimensions differ slightly (0.453" L x 0.197" W x 0.315" H versus 0.350" L x 0.184" W x 0.345" H). Operating temperature range is specified as -40°C ~ 85°C. This part is suitable only for applications where the lower DC voltage rating and different thermal characteristics are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (Identical Electrical and Mechanical Specifications):

Use BK/PCC-2-1/2-R, BK/PCB-2-1/2-R, BK/PCH-2-1/2-R, or PCB-2-1/2-R when the application requires a 2.5 A fuse with 450 V DC rating capability. All four parts are manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, hold Active product status, and carry identical CSA and UL approvals. These parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with the PCC-2-1/2-R. Selection among these four Eaton equivalents may be based on inventory availability and lead time considerations.

For Applications with Lower DC Voltage Requirements:

The SCHURTER Inc. 7100.1069.13 may be considered only when the application circuit operates at 250 V DC or lower. This part is not suitable for circuits requiring 450 V DC operation. The different melting I²t value (1.2 versus 0.3) and breaking capacity (63A versus 50A AC / 5.9kA DC) indicate different thermal and fault-handling characteristics. Physical dimensions also differ, requiring PCB layout verification. This part holds cURus approval and ROHS3 compliance.

Compliance and Certification:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and hold appropriate regulatory approvals (CSA, UL for Eaton parts; cURus for SCHURTER). Selection should confirm that the chosen substitute meets the specific approval requirements of the end application and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BK/PCC-2-1/2-R be used as a direct replacement for PCC-2-1/2-R?

A: Yes. BK/PCC-2-1/2-R is a direct equivalent manufactured by Eaton with identical electrical specifications (2.5 A, 250 V AC, 450 V DC), response time (fast-blow), breaking capacity (50A AC, 5.9kA DC), melting I²t (0.3), physical dimensions (0.350" L x 0.184" W x 0.345" H), and approvals (CSA, UL). No circuit or PCB modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between BK/PCB-2-1/2-R and PCB-2-1/2-R?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Eaton and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The "BK/" prefix designation indicates a specific product variant or packaging configuration within Eaton's product line, but the core fuse parameters remain the same. Both are suitable for direct substitution with PCC-2-1/2-R.

Q: Can the SCHURTER 7100.1069.13 replace the PCC-2-1/2-R in all applications?

A: No. The SCHURTER part has a reduced DC voltage rating (250 V DC versus 450 V DC) and different thermal characteristics (melting I²t of 1.2 versus 0.3). It is suitable only for applications operating at 250 V DC or lower. Additionally, physical dimensions differ (0.453" L x 0.197" W x 0.315" H), requiring PCB layout verification. Use this part only when the application voltage and thermal requirements are compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts, including the Eaton equivalents (BK/PCC-2-1/2-R, BK/PCB-2-1/2-R, BK/PCH-2-1/2-R, PCB-2-1/2-R) and the SCHURTER part (7100.1069.13), are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What approvals do these fuses carry?

A: Eaton parts (PCC-2-1/2-R and its direct equivalents) carry CSA and UL approvals. The SCHURTER 7100.1069.13 carries cURus approval. Confirm that the selected substitute meets the specific regulatory requirements of your application and target market.

Q: Do the Eaton substitute parts have the same breaking capacity as the main part?

A: Yes. BK/PCC-2-1/2-R, BK/PCB-2-1/2-R, BK/PCH-2-1/2-R, and PCB-2-1/2-R all have identical breaking capacity specifications: 50A AC and 5.9kA DC at rated voltage. The SCHURTER 7100.1069.13 has a different breaking capacity of 63A, reflecting its different design characteristics.

Q: Can these fuses be used in both AC and DC circuits?

A: Yes. All listed parts are rated for both AC and DC operation. The PCC-2-1/2-R and its Eaton equivalents are rated 250 V AC and 450 V DC. The SCHURTER part is rated 250 V AC and 250 V DC. Ensure the circuit voltage does not exceed the specified ratings for the chosen fuse.
