Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the REN-5 is based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Rating: 5/250 amperage and voltage specification
• Fuse Type Classification: Dual element fuse technology
• RoHS Compliance: Maintained across substitute options
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (consistent export control)
• HTSUS Code: 8536.10.0040 (identical tariff classification)
• Manufacturer Source: Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division (same manufacturer ecosystem)

The LPN-RK-5SP is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, classified as a Low Peak Dual Element fuse with active product status. This substitute maintains electrical compatibility through identical rating specifications and regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LPN-RK-5SP directly replace the REN-5 in existing installations?

A: The LPN-RK-5SP is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the REN-5, sharing identical electrical ratings (5/250), RoHS compliance status, and ECCN/HTSUS classifications. Substitution is supported based on these aligned parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the REN-5 and LPN-RK-5SP?

A: The REN-5 is classified as a Super Lag Renewal fuse with obsolete product status. The LPN-RK-5SP is classified as a Low Peak Dual Element fuse with active product status. Both maintain the same electrical rating and regulatory compliance requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The REN-5 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The LPN-RK-5SP is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging compatibility should be confirmed based on application requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for the LPN-RK-5SP?

A: The MSL for the LPN-RK-5SP is listed as Not Applicable, whereas the REN-5 is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited). This difference does not affect substitution compatibility for fuse applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the REN-5 and LPN-RK-5SP are RoHS compliant, supporting use in applications requiring regulatory compliance.
