P0602ACMC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P0602ACMC is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) thyristor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., part of the SIDACtor® series. This component is designed for overvoltage protection applications, featuring dual-element configuration with 25V/50V off-state voltage ratings and 400A peak pulse current capability in a 3-SIP TO-220 Modified package. The P0602ACMC is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for new designs and ongoing system support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P0602ACMC is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria establish valid substitution:

• Voltage ratings (breakover and off-state) must match exactly: 40V/80V breakover and 25V/50V off-state
• Peak pulse current specifications must be identical: 400A (8/20µs) and 100A (10/1000µs)
• On-state voltage must remain at 4V
• Hold current (Ih) must be 50 mA
• Number of elements must be 2
• Capacitance values must match: 25pF and 45pF
• Package configuration must be 3-SIP with Through Hole mounting
• Supplier device package must be TO-220 Modified

The P0602ACMCL meets all these criteria and serves as the direct active equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P0602ACMCL is the direct equivalent for the obsolete P0602ACMC. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring pin-for-pin and functional compatibility. The primary distinction is product status: P0602ACMCL is actively manufactured and supported, while P0602ACMC is obsolete.

An additional advantage of P0602ACMCL is its ROHS3 compliance status, compared to the non-compliant status of the original part. This compliance improvement supports regulatory requirements in applications subject to RoHS directives. Both parts maintain identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) ratings of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

For new designs and replacement applications, P0602ACMCL is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0602ACMCL be used as a direct replacement for P0602ACMC?

A: Yes. The P0602ACMCL is electrically and mechanically identical to the P0602ACMC across all specified parameters, including voltage ratings, current ratings, capacitance, and package configuration. It is a direct pin-for-pin substitute.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from P0602ACMC to P0602ACMCL?

A: The P0602ACMC is classified as obsolete, while P0602ACMCL is actively manufactured. For ongoing production and new designs, P0602ACMCL ensures continued availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. P0602ACMCL is ROHS3 compliant, whereas P0602ACMC is RoHS non-compliant. This difference is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. Both parts have identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings.

Q: Is the package configuration identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 3-SIP package with Through Hole mounting and TO-220 Modified supplier device package configuration.

Q: What electrical parameters must match for substitution validity?

A: Substitution requires matching of breakover voltage (40V, 80V), off-state voltage (25V, 50V), on-state voltage (4V), peak pulse currents (400A at 8/20µs and 100A at 10/1000µs), hold current (50 mA), element count (2), and capacitance values (25pF, 45pF).
