Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RES-5 is based on the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute components:

• Manufacturer: Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• HTSUS Code: 8536.10.0040 (identical tariff classification confirms functional category alignment)
• RoHS Compliance: Both main and substitute parts maintain RoHS Compliant status
• Fuse Type Classification: Both components function as electrical fuses with time-delay characteristics
• Electrical Rating: 5/600 ampere/voltage specification

The LPS-RK-5SP is identified as the manufacturer-recommended substitute, sharing the same manufacturer, HTSUS classification, and RoHS compliance status as the RES-5.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LPS-RK-5SP is the manufacturer-recommended equivalent for the obsolete RES-5. Both components are manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division and share identical HTSUS and ECCN classifications, confirming functional equivalence within the fuse product category. Both maintain RoHS Compliant status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new installations and replacements.

The LPS-RK-5SP carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support, whereas the RES-5 is Obsolete. Selection of the LPS-RK-5SP is appropriate for applications requiring a direct functional replacement with current manufacturer backing and compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the RES-5 being phased out? A: The RES-5 is classified as Obsolete. The LPS-RK-5SP, an Active product from the same manufacturer, provides equivalent functionality with current manufacturing and support.
