SLC015 Cartridge Fuse - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLC015 is a 15A cartridge fuse rated for 600 VAC and 170 VDC operation, manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. as part of the POWR-GARD® SLC series. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. The fuse is designed for electrical and industrial applications requiring medium-blow response characteristics and Class G protection.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SLC015 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Current Rating: 15A (exact match required)
• Voltage Ratings: 600 VAC and 170 VDC (both must be met or exceeded)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge (form factor requirement)
• Response Time: Medium Blow (protection characteristic)
• Class: G (regulatory classification)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.406" Dia x 1.311" L (holder compatibility)
• Breaking Capacity: 100kA AC and 10kA DC (fault protection capability)
• Approval Certifications: CE, CSA, QPL, UL (regulatory compliance)

The substitute part 0SLC015.T maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging configuration (bulk vs. standard).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 0SLC015.T is a direct functional equivalent to the SLC015 for all electrical and mechanical applications. The primary distinction is product status: the SLC015 is obsolete while the 0SLC015.T is active and currently manufactured. Both parts carry identical regulatory certifications (CE, CSA, QPL, UL) and maintain ROHS3 compliance. Selection of the 0SLC015.T is appropriate for new designs, replacements, and ongoing procurement where the SLC015 is no longer available. The bulk packaging of the 0SLC015.T does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is suitable for standard component holder installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0SLC015.T be used as a direct replacement for the SLC015?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in current rating (15A), voltage ratings (600 VAC / 170 VDC), fuse type (cartridge), response time (medium blow), class (G), physical dimensions (0.406" Dia x 1.311" L), breaking capacity (100kA AC / 10kA DC), and regulatory certifications (CE, CSA, QPL, UL). The 0SLC015.T is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between SLC015 and 0SLC015.T?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The SLC015 is obsolete; the 0SLC015.T is active production. Packaging differs (standard vs. bulk), but this does not affect performance or compatibility with standard cartridge fuse holders.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same fuse holder?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions (0.406" Dia x 1.311" L) and are cartridge-type fuses requiring a compatible holder. They are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the SLC015 and 0SLC015.T carry CE, CSA, QPL, and UL certifications and are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 0SLC015.T should be specified for new designs and ongoing procurement, as it is the active product in the POWR-GARD® SLC series with identical performance characteristics.
