P0080EBMCAP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P0080EBMCAP 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 overvoltage protection in electronic circuits, featuring a 250 A peak pulse current rating at 8/20µs pulse duration and a TO-226-2 package configuration with formed leads.

The P0080EBMCAP has reached obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this TVS thyristor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P0080EBMCAP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TVS thyristor category. The critical parameters that define substitutability are:

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

The P0080EBMCLAP qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications across all voltage and current parameters, identical capacitance, and identical package configuration. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format, not functional or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P0080EBMCLAP is the direct equivalent substitute for the P0080EBMCAP. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The P0080EBMCLAP is the preferred selection because it maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain support.

The P0080EBMCLAP carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the P0080EBMCAP is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the P0080EBMCLAP is the appropriate choice. The packaging format difference (Tape & Box versus bulk) does not affect functional performance and is determined by procurement and assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P0080EBMCLAP be used as a direct replacement for the P0080EBMCAP?

A: Yes. The P0080EBMCLAP is electrically and mechanically identical to the P0080EBMCAP. All voltage ratings, current specifications, capacitance, and package configurations are equivalent. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging format. The P0080EBMCAP is obsolete and supplied in bulk packaging, while the P0080EBMCLAP is active and supplied in Tape & Box format. The P0080EBMCLAP also carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the TO-226-2 package?

A: No. Both parts use the identical TO-226-2 package with formed leads and through-hole mounting. PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Does the Tape & Box packaging affect performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a supply and handling consideration only. It does not affect electrical performance, reliability, or functional characteristics of the TVS thyristor.

Q: Why should I select the P0080EBMCLAP over the P0080EBMCAP?

A: The P0080EBMCLAP is the active product with confirmed long-term availability. It provides ROHS3 compliance for regulatory adherence and is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete P0080EBMCAP.
