P0720EB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P0720EB is a 65V off-state, 250A peak pulse TVS thyristor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. in the SIDACtor® series. This component is designed for transient voltage suppression applications requiring through-hole mounting in TO-226-2 or TO-92-2 packages. The P0720EB is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The P0720EB has one direct equivalent: P0720EBL. This substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Identical voltage ratings: 65V off-state, 88V breakover, 4V on-state
• Identical current specifications: 250A peak pulse (8/20µs), 80A peak pulse (10/1000µs), 150mA hold current
• Identical capacitance: 75pF
• Identical package and mounting configuration: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (TO-226AC), through-hole
• Single element configuration maintained
• Same base product number: P0720

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format. The P0720EB is obsolete with tape/reel packaging, while the P0720EBL is active with bulk packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P0720EBL is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete P0720EB. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in existing circuit designs. The P0720EBL offers the additional advantage of ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. For new designs or procurement of replacement components, the P0720EBL is the appropriate selection. The bulk packaging format of the P0720EBL accommodates both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P0720EBL be used as a direct replacement for P0720EB in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P0720EBL maintains identical electrical specifications (65V off-state, 88V breakover, 250A peak pulse current) and mechanical configuration (TO-226-2/TO-92-2 through-hole package). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between P0720EB and P0720EBL?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The P0720EB is obsolete with tape/reel packaging, while the P0720EBL is active with bulk packaging. The P0720EBL also carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the P0720EB is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there any package compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts use identical package specifications: TO-226-2 or TO-92-2 (TO-226AC) with through-hole mounting. PCB footprints and lead configurations are identical, requiring no layout modifications.

Q: Does the P0720EBL meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The P0720EBL is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for component procurement and use.

Q: What inventory status should be considered for procurement?

A: The P0720EBL is currently active with 5400 pieces in stock. The P0720EB is obsolete with limited remaining inventory of 1416 pieces. For ongoing applications, procurement should transition to the P0720EBL.
