Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B3164UCLTP is the direct substitute for the B3164UCTP. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit protection applications. The B3164UCLTP offers two significant advantages: active product status with ongoing manufacturer support and ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the B3164UCTP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing system support, the B3164UCLTP is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring the exact original part number, the B3164UCTP remains available in current inventory (741 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B3164UCLTP be used as a direct replacement for B3164UCTP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, sharing the same adjustable voltage clamping, mixed technology, single-circuit configuration, SLIC application compatibility, 6-SMD Gull Wing package, and MS-013 supplier device package designation.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The B3164UCLTP is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, while the B3164UCTP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Packaging differs as well: B3164UCLTP is supplied in Tube format.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting B3164UCLTP for B3164UCTP?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The identical package type (6-SMD, Gull Wing), supplier device package (MS-013), and all electrical parameters ensure direct compatibility in PCB assembly and circuit operation.

Q: Which part should be specified for new product designs?

A: The B3164UCLTP should be specified for new designs due to its active product status and regulatory compliance certifications.

Q: Is the MSL rating identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
