MCP2561FD-H/P CANbus Transceiver Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCP2561FD-H/P is an active, production-status CANbus transceiver manufactured by Microchip Technology. This interface IC operates as a 1/1 transceiver in an 8-PDIP through-hole package, designed for CAN bus communication applications requiring high-speed data transmission. The part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making it suitable for industrial and automotive environments. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or design flexibility needs while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.
