CR02AM-8#F00 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CR02AM-8#F00 is a sensitive gate SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) rated for 400 V off-state voltage with 470 mA RMS on-state current capability. Manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, this component is designed for through-hole mounting in TO-92-3 package configuration. The part is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance across voltage, current, and thermal operating ranges while preserving mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CR02AM-8#F00 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage Rating (Off State): 400 V minimum
• Current Rating (On State RMS): 470 mA minimum
• Gate Trigger Characteristics: Vgt ≤ 800 mV, Igt ≤ 100 µA
• On-State Voltage Drop: Vtm ≤ 1.6 V
• Hold Current: Ih ≤ 3 mA
• SCR Type Classification: Sensitive Gate
• Package Configuration: TO-92-3 through-hole mounting
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 125°C minimum

The CR02AM-8#BD0 meets all specified electrical parameters and maintains identical package and mounting characteristics, qualifying it as a direct functional equivalent.
