P0720ECAP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P0720ECAP is a 65V off-state, 400A 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 P0720ECAP is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P0720ECAP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The critical parameters defining substitutability are:

• Voltage - Off State: 65V
• Voltage - Breakover: 88V
• Voltage - On State: 4V
• Current - Peak Pulse (8/20µs): 400A
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 100A
• Current - Hold (Ih): 150mA
• Capacitance: 150pF
• Package / Case: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (Formed Leads)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Number of Elements: 1

The P0720ECLAP meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share identical voltage ratings, current specifications, capacitance values, and package configurations. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P0720ECLAP is the direct equivalent for the obsolete P0720ECAP. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and package configurations are identical. The P0720ECLAP carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, making it suitable for new designs and legacy system replacements where regulatory compliance is required. The P0720ECLAP is available in Tape & Box packaging with 1150 units in stock, compared to the P0720ECAP's limited obsolete inventory of 1022 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P0720ECLAP directly replace the P0720ECAP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P0720ECLAP provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. All voltage ratings, current specifications, capacitance values, and package configurations are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between P0720ECAP and P0720ECLAP?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance. The P0720ECAP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The P0720ECLAP is active and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use TO-226-2 and TO-92-2 packages with formed leads and through-hole mounting. The P0720ECLAP is supplied in Tape & Box packaging, while the P0720ECAP packaging type is not specified.

Q: Is the P0720ECLAP suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The P0720ECLAP is classified as active and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, making it appropriate for new designs requiring regulatory compliance and long-term component availability.

Q: What certifications apply to the P0720ECLAP?

A: The P0720ECLAP is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The ECCN classification is EAR99 for both parts.
