Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P2202AB60 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage ratings (Breakover: 130V/260V; Off-State: 90V/180V)
• Current handling capability (Peak Pulse 8/20µs: 250A; Peak Pulse 10/1000µs: 80A)
• Hold current (150 mA)
• Dual-element configuration (Number of Elements: 2)
• Capacitance characteristics (65pF, 115pF)
• Physical package format (3-SIP, TO-220 Modified, Through Hole mounting)

The P2202ABL60 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share identical voltage, current, and capacitance specifications, along with matching package and mounting characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P2202ABL60 is the direct substitute for the obsolete P2202AB60. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The P2202AB60 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the P2202ABL60 is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, the P2202ABL60 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where existing inventory of P2202AB60 units is available, direct replacement is electrically equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P2202ABL60 directly replace P2202AB60 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P2202ABL60 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the P2202AB60. All voltage ratings, current specifications, capacitance values, and package dimensions are identical. Direct substitution in PCB layouts and circuit designs is supported.

Q: What is the difference between P2202AB60 and P2202ABL60?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The P2202AB60 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The P2202ABL60 is active production and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The P2202AB60 is supplied in standard packaging, while the P2202ABL60 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use the same 3-SIP TO-220 Modified physical package format and are mounted through-hole. Bulk packaging does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The P2202ABL60 should be selected for new designs. It is an active product with current manufacturing support and meets ROHS3 regulatory requirements. The P2202AB60 is obsolete and should not be specified for new applications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: The P2202ABL60 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The P2202AB60 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.30.0080) classifications. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the P2202ABL60 is the required selection.
