B3204UCTP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B3204UCTP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) device manufactured by Littelfuse, designed for circuit protection applications in SLIC (Subscriber Line Interface Card) systems. This component features adjustable voltage clamping with mixed technology in a 6-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount package. The B3204UCTP is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy component compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the B3204UCTP is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Clamping: Adjustable
• Technology: Mixed Technology
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Applications: SLIC
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: 6-SMD, Gull Wing
• Supplier Device Package: MS-013
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The B3204UCLTP qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical alignment across all these parameters. Both components share the same base product number (B3204), functional classification, and physical form factor, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in SLIC circuit protection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B3204UCLTP is the qualified substitute for the obsolete B3204UCTP. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, ensuring direct functional equivalence in SLIC circuit protection applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The B3204UCTP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the B3204UCLTP is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards, the B3204UCLTP is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original B3204UCTP is no longer available, the B3204UCLTP provides equivalent performance with improved compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B3204UCLTP be used as a direct replacement for the B3204UCTP?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical characteristics (adjustable voltage clamping, mixed technology), circuit configuration (single circuit), application focus (SLIC), and physical form factor (6-SMD, Gull Wing, MS-013 package). They are functionally equivalent for circuit protection purposes.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the B3204UCTP?

A: The B3204UCTP is classified as obsolete. The B3204UCLTP is the active equivalent, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both components use the same 6-SMD, Gull Wing package with MS-013 supplier device package designation. The B3204UCLTP is supplied in Tube packaging, while the B3204UCTP packaging specification was not provided. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance?

A: The B3204UCTP is RoHS non-compliant. The B3204UCLTP is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new applications and markets with strict compliance mandates.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels identical?

A: Yes. Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
