Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2036-35-C2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - DC Spark Over (Nominal): 350 V
• Impulse Discharge Current (8/20µs): 10000A (10kA)
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Number of Poles: 3
• Fail Short characteristic: No
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial Cylinder, 3 Lead (Radial Bend)
• Series: Mini-TRIGARD™ 2036

The substitute part 2036-35-B2 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct replacement. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2036-35-B2 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 2036-35-C2. Both components share identical electrical performance characteristics and mechanical specifications. The 2036-35-B2 maintains active product status with Bourns Inc., ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts carry identical regulatory classifications: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, and ECCN EAR99. Compliance requirements remain unchanged when transitioning from the main part to the substitute.

The packaging difference (bulk versus tray) does not affect component functionality or circuit performance. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements and inventory management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2036-35-B2 replace the 2036-35-C2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2036-35-B2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 2036-35-C2. All critical parameters—voltage rating, discharge current capacity, pole configuration, and mounting type—are identical. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the 2036-35-C2 and 2036-35-B2?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The 2036-35-C2 is obsolete and supplied in bulk packaging, while the 2036-35-B2 is active and supplied in tray packaging. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical regulatory status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8536.30.8000. Compliance requirements do not change when substituting between these parts.

Q: Does packaging type affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging type (bulk versus tray) is a logistics and handling consideration only. It does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or circuit functionality.

Q: Why is the 2036-35-C2 listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The 2036-35-B2 remains in active production and is the recommended source for new procurement of this component specification.
