Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P1602ABL60 is determined by exact matching of the following critical parameters:

• Voltage ratings (Off-State: 65V, 130V; Breakover: 95V, 190V)
• Peak pulse current capability (250 A at 8/20µs; 80 A at 10/1000µs)
• Hold current (150 mA minimum)
• Dual-element configuration (2 elements)
• Package type (3-SIP TO-220 Modified)
• Through-hole mounting compatibility

The P1602ABL meets all substitution criteria as it maintains identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical form factor with the P1602ABL60.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both P1602ABL60 and P1602ABL are Active products from Littelfuse Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The P1602ABL offers higher stock availability (5200 units) compared to P1602ABL60 (747 units), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements. Both components meet identical regulatory and environmental compliance standards, ensuring equivalent performance in transient voltage suppression applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P1602ABL directly replace P1602ABL60 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching voltage ratings, current ratings, and 3-SIP TO-220 Modified package specifications. Direct substitution is valid without circuit modification.

Q: Are there differences in performance between these two part numbers? A: No. The P1602ABL60 and P1602ABL share identical electrical characteristics including breakover voltage (95V, 190V), on-state voltage (4V), peak pulse current (250A at 8/20µs), and hold current (150mA).

Q: What is the significance of the "60" suffix in P1602ABL60? A: The suffix differentiates packaging or inventory lot designations. The core electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical to P1602ABL.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both P1602ABL60 and P1602ABL are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should consider inventory availability and supply chain lead times. The P1602ABL currently has higher stock levels.

Q: Is the 3-SIP package compatible with standard TO-220 footprints? A: The package is designated as TO-220 Modified 3-SIP, designed for through-hole mounting. Verify PCB footprint compatibility with the specific 3-SIP pin configuration before assembly.
