P0900EB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P0900EB is a 75V 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 high current handling capability in a compact TO-226-2 package. The P0900EB is currently classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P0900EB is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - Off State: 75V
• Voltage - Breakover: 98V
• Voltage - On State: 4V
• Current - Peak Pulse (8/20µs): 250A
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 80A
• Current - Hold (Ih): 150mA
• Capacitance: 70pF
• Package / Case: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (TO-226AC)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Number of Elements: 1

The P0900EBL meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete P0900EB.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P0900EBL is the direct substitute for the P0900EB. Both components share identical electrical specifications and package configurations. The P0900EBL is currently in active production status, whereas the P0900EB is obsolete. The P0900EBL additionally meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the P0900EB is non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing procurement, the P0900EBL is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P0900EBL directly replace the P0900EB in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P0900EBL matches all electrical parameters (voltage ratings, current ratings, capacitance) and physical specifications (package type, mounting configuration) of the P0900EB. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between P0900EB and P0900EBL?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The P0900EB is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The P0900EBL is active production and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the same package type: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (TO-226AC). Both are through-hole mounted components. No package conversion is required for substitution.

Q: Why should I transition from P0900EB to P0900EBL?

A: The P0900EB is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The P0900EBL provides continued access to the same electrical and mechanical functionality with active production support and improved regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 75V off-state voltage, 98V breakover voltage, 4V on-state voltage, 250A peak pulse current (8/20µs), 80A peak pulse current (10/1000µs), 150mA hold current, and 70pF capacitance.
