Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2035-60-C5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - DC Spark Over (Nominal): 600 V
• Impulse Discharge Current (8/20µs): 5000A (5kA)
• Tolerance: ±15%
• Number of Poles: 2
• Fail Short characteristic: No
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial Cylinder, Radial Bend
• Series: 2035

The substitute part 2035-60-B5 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2035-60-B5 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 2035-60-C5. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and regulatory compliance status. The 2035-60-B5 is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (1100 pcs), making it the appropriate selection for new designs, production continuity, and field replacement applications.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance requirements for your application must be evaluated independently.
