Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P1300ECMC is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part P1300ECMCL maintains identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: off-state voltage (120V), breakover voltage (160V), on-state voltage (4V), peak pulse current ratings (400A at 8/20µs and 100A at 10/1000µs), hold current (150mA), and capacitance (60pF). Both parts utilize the same package configuration (TO-226-2, TO-92-2) and mounting type (through hole). The primary distinction between these parts is product status and packaging format, with P1300ECMCL available in bulk packaging and maintaining active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P1300ECMCL is the direct functional equivalent to the P1300ECMC. Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. within the SIDACtor® series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on product availability and regulatory compliance requirements. The P1300ECMC, classified as obsolete, may have limited availability through standard distribution channels. The P1300ECMCL maintains active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it the preferred choice for new designs and systems requiring current regulatory compliance. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 120V off-state transient voltage suppression with 400A peak pulse current handling in through-hole mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P1300ECMCL be used as a direct replacement for P1300ECMC? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent, with identical voltage ratings (120V off-state, 160V breakover, 4V on-state), current ratings (400A peak pulse at 8/20µs, 100A at 10/1000µs), and package configuration (TO-226-2, TO-92-2 through-hole).

Q: What is the difference between P1300ECMC and P1300ECMCL? A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. P1300ECMC is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while P1300ECMCL is active and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging format differs (standard versus bulk), but electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns when substituting these parts? A: No. Both parts use the same TO-226-2 and TO-92-2 package configurations with through-hole mounting, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: P1300ECMCL is recommended for new designs due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Do these parts have identical electrical performance in transient suppression applications? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical off-state voltage (120V), breakover voltage (160V), on-state voltage (4V), peak pulse current ratings, hold current (150mA), and capacitance (60pF), ensuring equivalent performance in transient voltage suppression circuits.
