Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAC15-010 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute MAC15-10G from Littelfuse Inc. maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 800V off-state voltage, 15A on-state current, 2V maximum gate trigger voltage, 150A surge current rating, 50mA maximum gate trigger current, 40mA maximum hold current, and identical TO-220-3 package configuration with through-hole mounting.

The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain constant:

• Voltage - Off State: 800 V
• Current - On State (It (RMS)) (Max): 15 A
• Voltage - Gate Trigger (Vgt) (Max): 2 V
• Current - Non Rep. Surge 50, 60Hz (Itsm): 150A @ 60Hz
• Current - Gate Trigger (Igt) (Max): 50 mA
• Current - Hold (Ih) (Max): 40 mA
• Package / Case: TO-220-3
• Mounting Type: Through Hole

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAC15-10G from Littelfuse Inc. is the direct equivalent substitute for the MAC15-010. Both components share identical electrical ratings and mechanical specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin and functional compatibility in existing circuit designs.

The MAC15-10G offers the additional advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, compared to the obsolete, non-compliant status of the MAC15-010. For new designs and ongoing production support, the MAC15-10G is the appropriate selection. The component is currently in active inventory with 1150 units available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAC15-10G directly replace the MAC15-010 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MAC15-10G is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MAC15-010. All critical parameters—voltage rating, current rating, gate trigger specifications, and package configuration—are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the MAC15-010 and MAC15-10G?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The MAC15-010 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the MAC15-10G is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both components use the TO-220-3 package with through-hole mounting. Pinout and physical dimensions are identical, allowing direct PCB compatibility.

Q: What does the TO-220-3 package designation mean?

A: TO-220-3 indicates a three-terminal through-hole package in the TO-220 form factor. For TRIAC devices, the three terminals are Gate, Main Terminal 1 (MT1), and Main Terminal 2 (MT2).

Q: Is the MAC15-10G suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. The MAC15-10G operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 125°C (junction temperature), matching the MAC15-010 specification and supporting industrial and consumer applications requiring extended temperature operation.
