Equivalent & Substitute Parts for P0080EAMCAP

Part Overview

The P0080EAMCAP is a 6V off-state Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) thyristor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., part of the SIDACtor® series. This component is designed for transient voltage protection applications requiring 150 A peak pulse current capability in a TO-226-2 package configuration. The part is currently classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P0080EAMCAP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters defining substitutability are:

• Voltage ratings (breakover, off-state, and on-state)
• Peak pulse current capabilities (both 8/20µs and 10/1000µs waveforms)
• Hold current specification
• Package configuration and mounting type
• Capacitance value
• Number of active elements

The P0080EAMCLAP qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications across all voltage and current parameters, matching package configuration, and equivalent capacitance. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P0080EAMCLAP is the direct functional equivalent of the P0080EAMCAP. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For new designs or procurement requiring RoHS compliance: The P0080EAMCLAP is the appropriate selection, as it maintains full electrical equivalence while meeting ROHS3 compliance requirements.

For legacy system support or applications with RoHS non-compliance allowances: Either part may be selected based on availability and procurement constraints, as electrical performance is identical.

Packaging consideration: Both parts are supplied in TO-226-2 and TO-92-2 configurations with formed leads. The P0080EAMCLAP is available in Tape & Box packaging, which may influence procurement logistics.

Inventory status: The P0080EAMCLAP has higher current inventory availability (963 Pcs) compared to the P0080EAMCAP (642 Pcs), which may impact lead time and supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P0080EAMCLAP be used as a direct replacement for the P0080EAMCAP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P0080EAMCLAP is electrically identical to the P0080EAMCAP across all specified voltage, current, and capacitance parameters. Both components are housed in the same TO-226-2 and TO-92-2 package configurations with formed leads, enabling direct substitution without circuit modification.

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

A: The P0080EAMCAP is classified as obsolete and does not meet RoHS compliance standards. The P0080EAMCLAP is an active product that meets ROHS3 compliance requirements. Electrical specifications and package configurations are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues with the TO-226-2 and TO-92-2 package options?

A: No. Both the P0080EAMCAP and P0080EAMCLAP are available in both TO-226-2 and TO-92-2 configurations with formed leads. These packages are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for through-hole mounting applications.

Q: Does the packaging format (Tape & Box for P0080EAMCLAP) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and procurement logistics. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the component remain unchanged regardless of whether it is supplied in Tape & Box or alternative packaging formats.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: For TVS thyristor substitution, the following parameters must be identical: voltage ratings (breakover, off-state, and on-state), peak pulse current capabilities (8/20µs and 10/1000µs), hold current, package configuration, and capacitance value. All these parameters are matched between the P0080EAMCAP and P0080EAMCLAP.
