Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2035-15-C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - DC Spark Over (Nominal): 150 V
• Impulse Discharge Current (8/20µs): 5000A (5kA)
• Tolerance: ±15%
• Number of Poles: 2
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial Cylinder
• Fail Short characteristic: No

The Bourns 2035-15-B qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2035-15-B is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 2035-15-C. Both components share identical electrical performance specifications (150V spark-over, 5kA impulse current) and mechanical packaging. The primary distinction is product status: the 2035-15-B maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts carry equivalent regulatory classifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99). Selection of the 2035-15-B eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving full functional and physical compatibility with existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2035-15-B directly replace the 2035-15-C in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2035-15-B provides direct functional and mechanical substitution. Both components feature identical voltage ratings (150V DC spark-over), impulse discharge current (5kA), pole configuration (2-pole), and through-hole axial cylinder packaging.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from 2035-15-C to 2035-15-B?

A: The 2035-15-C is classified as obsolete, while the 2035-15-B maintains active product status. This transition ensures long-term supply availability and eliminates procurement risk.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 2035-15-C and 2035-15-B use identical axial cylinder through-hole packaging. The 2035-15-B is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 2035-15-C was supplied in standard packaging.

Q: Do regulatory compliance profiles differ between these substitutes?

A: No. Both components share identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH Affected classification, and ECCN EAR99 designation.

Q: What electrical parameters must remain constant for substitution validity?

A: Voltage rating (150V), impulse discharge current (5kA), tolerance (±15%), pole count (2), and fail-short characteristic (No) must all remain unchanged for direct substitution.
