SC-10 Ceramic Cartridge Fuse Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SC-10 is a ceramic cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Bussmann Electrical Division, rated for 10A at 600VAC/170VDC with slow blow response characteristics. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for applications requiring a cartridge-style fuse that operates within specified voltage and current parameters. Substitute parts are identified when electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and approval certifications align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in holder-based installations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SC-10 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Current Rating: 10A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 600V (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 170V (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge configuration
• Mounting Type: Requires Holder (mechanical compatibility)
• Breaking Capacity: 100kA AC, 10kA DC (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Cartridge, Non-Standard (physical fit in holder)
• Size / Dimension: 0.410" Dia x 1.310" L ± tolerance (mechanical fit)
• Approval Agency: CE, CSA, UL certifications (regulatory compliance)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (environmental compliance)

The 0SLC010.T from Littelfuse Inc. meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0SLC010.T cartridge fuse from Littelfuse Inc. is a qualified substitute for the SC-10 based on the following criteria:

• All electrical ratings (10A, 600VAC, 170VDC) are identical
• Breaking capacity specifications match exactly (100kA AC, 10kA DC)
• Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for holder compatibility
• Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• Regulatory certifications include CE, CSA, and UL approval for both parts
• Both components are classified as Active product status

The dimensional variance (0.410" vs 0.406" diameter; 1.310" vs 1.311" length) falls within standard mechanical tolerances for cartridge fuse holders and does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0SLC010.T replace the SC-10 in existing installations?

A: Yes. The 0SLC010.T meets all electrical ratings, breaking capacity, and mechanical dimensions required for direct substitution in SC-10 holder-based applications. Physical dimensions are within tolerance for standard cartridge fuse holders.

Q: What is the difference between slow blow and medium blow response times?

A: Response time classification indicates the fuse's thermal response to overcurrent conditions. The SC-10 is rated slow blow, while the 0SLC010.T is rated medium blow. Both are cartridge fuses with identical electrical ratings and breaking capacity. Selection between response times depends on circuit-specific inrush current requirements and application tolerance specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SC-10 and 0SLC010.T are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What certifications apply to these fuses?

A: Both parts carry CE, CSA, and UL approvals. The 0SLC010.T additionally carries QPL (Qualified Products List) certification. All certifications are valid for the specified electrical ratings and applications.

Q: Does the slight dimensional difference affect holder compatibility?

A: No. The dimensional variance between the SC-10 (0.410" Dia x 1.310" L) and 0SLC010.T (0.406" Dia x 1.311" L) is within standard mechanical tolerances for non-standard cartridge fuse holders and does not compromise fit or electrical contact.
