Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the P1602AAL60 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the SIDACtor® product family. The primary substitution criterion is matching voltage ratings (65V/130V off-state), breakover voltage (95V/190V), peak pulse current capability (150A at 8/20µs), and package configuration (3-SIP through-hole). The dual-element configuration and on-state voltage of 4V are fixed design parameters that define the functional class. Parts meeting these specifications are electrically interchangeable for circuit protection applications. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) and product status (Active) ensure regulatory and supply continuity.
