TDC600-2A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TDC600-2A is a ceramic cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division, designed for two-pole electrical protection applications at 600 VAC. This component is classified as obsolete and does not comply with RoHS standards. Due to its obsolete status and non-compliance with current environmental regulations, identification of functionally equivalent active alternatives is necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TDC600-2A has one identified substitute: TDC600-2-R. This substitution is valid based on the following alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Current Rating: Both rated at 2A
• Voltage Rating: Both rated at 600 VAC
• Fuse Type: Both are cartridge-type fuses
• Manufacturer: Both manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division
• Series Compatibility: TDC600-2-R belongs to the TDC600 series, indicating design lineage compatibility
• Mounting Configuration: Both require a holder for installation

The primary distinction is that TDC600-2-R is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, whereas TDC600-2A is obsolete and non-compliant. The substitute maintains identical electrical ratings and form factor specifications necessary for direct functional replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: TDC600-2-R is the designated substitute for TDC600-2A. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2A, 600 VAC) and cartridge form factor. The substitute is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance certification, addressing the regulatory limitations of the obsolete original part.

Compliance Considerations: Systems requiring RoHS compliance must transition to TDC600-2-R. The substitute carries ASTA and BSI approvals, providing third-party validation for industrial and electrical applications. The ECCN classification remains consistent (EAR99) for both parts.

Inventory and Availability: TDC600-2-R is available in active inventory (754 units) with bulk packaging options, supporting both immediate replacement needs and long-term procurement planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TDC600-2-R be used as a direct replacement for TDC600-2A in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components are rated at 2A, 600 VAC, and use identical cartridge form factor (8AG, 1/4" x 1"). Both require a compatible holder for installation. Electrical performance and physical compatibility are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute TDC600-2A with TDC600-2-R?

A: TDC600-2A is obsolete and does not comply with RoHS standards. TDC600-2-R is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and systems requiring environmental regulation adherence.

Q: Are there any differences in breaking capacity between these parts?

A: TDC600-2-R specifies a breaking capacity of 200A at rated voltage. This specification is not provided for TDC600-2A in the available documentation.

Q: What certifications does TDC600-2-R carry?

A: TDC600-2-R holds ASTA and BSI approvals, providing independent verification for industrial and electrical applications.

Q: Is the response time the same for both fuses?

A: TDC600-2-R is specified as Fast Blow. Response time specification for TDC600-2A is not provided in available documentation.

Q: What packaging options are available for TDC600-2-R?

A: TDC600-2-R is supplied in bulk packaging. Specific quantity configurations should be confirmed with the supplier based on procurement requirements.
