TR2/C515S-2-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TR2/C515S-2-R is a 2 A, 250 V AC glass cartridge fuse manufactured by Eaton - Electronics Division. This through-hole mounted fuse features slow-blow response characteristics and is housed in a standard 2AG package (5mm x 15mm axial configuration). The part maintains active product status with RoHS compliance and CSA/UL approval certifications.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, packaging format requirements, or regional compliance needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TR2/C515S-2-R are identified based on strict electrical parameter matching:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Current Rating: 2 A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating AC: 250 V (exact match required)
• Response Time: Slow Blow (exact match required)
• Fuse Type: Cartridge, Glass (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Axial cartridge format (functionally equivalent)

Regulatory Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS compliance status
• Approval certifications (CSA, UL, or equivalent regional standards)

The identified substitutes (0230002.DRT1P and 0230002.MXP) satisfy all electrical parameters and maintain through-hole mounting compatibility. Physical dimensions show minor variation (4.50mm x 14.50mm versus 5.50mm x 15.20mm), which remains within standard cartridge fuse tolerance ranges for 2AG-class applications. Both substitutes are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and carry active product status with appropriate regulatory certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Both 0230002.DRT1P and 0230002.MXP satisfy the core electrical requirements for substitution: 2 A current rating, 250 V AC voltage rating, slow-blow response, and glass cartridge construction with through-hole mounting.

Regulatory Compliance:

The TR2/C515S-2-R carries CSA and UL certifications. Both substitute parts maintain CSA and UL approvals, with additional CE and PSE certifications. This expanded certification scope supports broader regional deployment without additional qualification.

Product Status:

All three parts maintain active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Packaging Considerations:

• TR2/C515S-2-R: Tape & Reel format (1079 pcs in stock)
• 0230002.DRT1P: Cut Tape format (3962 pcs in stock)
• 0230002.MXP: Bulk format (34412 pcs in stock)

Selection between substitutes depends on procurement volume requirements and assembly process compatibility.

Physical Dimensions:

The substitute parts exhibit reduced diameter (4.50mm versus 5.50mm) and slightly shorter length (14.50mm versus 15.20mm). These dimensions remain within standard cartridge fuse tolerance ranges and do not preclude mechanical fit in standard 2AG fuse holders.

Performance Parameters:

The TR2/C515S-2-R specifies higher breaking capacity (100A) and melting I²t (60.256) compared to substitutes (35A AC breaking capacity, I²t of 30). Selection of substitutes is appropriate for applications where the lower breaking capacity and melting I²t values are acceptable within circuit design parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 0230002.DRT1P or 0230002.MXP be used as direct replacements for TR2/C515S-2-R?

A: Both parts satisfy the critical electrical parameters: 2 A current rating, 250 V AC voltage, slow-blow response, and glass cartridge construction. Physical dimensions show minor variation but remain compatible with standard 2AG fuse holder applications. Verify that the lower breaking capacity (35A AC versus 100A) and melting I²t (30 versus 60.256) are acceptable for your specific circuit design.

Q: What is the difference between the two Littelfuse substitutes?

A: 0230002.DRT1P and 0230002.MXP are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging format: 0230002.DRT1P is supplied in Cut Tape format, while 0230002.MXP is supplied in Bulk format. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and procurement volume.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 0230002.DRT1P and 0230002.MXP carry ROHS3 compliance status, meeting current RoHS requirements. The original TR2/C515S-2-R is RoHS Compliant.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: No. The substitute parts measure 4.50mm diameter x 14.50mm length, compared to the original part's 5.50mm diameter x 15.20mm length. These dimensions remain within standard cartridge fuse tolerance ranges and are compatible with 2AG fuse holder applications.

Q: What certifications do the substitute parts carry?

A: Both 0230002.DRT1P and 0230002.MXP carry CE, CSA, PSE, and UL certifications. The original TR2/C515S-2-R carries CSA and UL certifications. The expanded certification scope of substitutes supports broader regional compliance.

Q: Are there any performance differences I should consider?

A: The original TR2/C515S-2-R specifies 100A breaking capacity and 60.256 melting I²t. The substitutes specify 35A AC breaking capacity and 30 melting I²t. Verify these lower values are acceptable for your circuit protection requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute parts?

A: Both 0230002.DRT1P and 0230002.MXP operate across -55°C to 125°C. The original part does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.
