P2300EARP2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P2300EARP2 is a 190V off-state Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) thyristor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. in the SIDACtor® series. This component is designed for transient overvoltage protection in electronic circuits, featuring a 150A peak pulse current rating and TO-226-2 package configuration. The P2300EARP2 is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P2300EARP2 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the SIDACtor® TVS thyristor product line. The critical parameters governing substitution are:

• Voltage - Off State: 190V
• Voltage - Breakover: 260V
• Current - Peak Pulse (8/20µs): 150A
• Package / Case: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (TO-226AC)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole

The P2300EALRP2 maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility with the P2300EARP2. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and product status, not functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P2300EALRP2 is the direct functional equivalent of the P2300EARP2. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

P2300EALRP2 is preferred when:

• Active product status is required for long-term supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance is mandated by design or regulatory requirements
• Tape & Reel packaging format is compatible with assembly processes

P2300EARP2 remains applicable when:

• Existing inventory of bulk-packaged components is available
• Legacy system maintenance requires exact original part specifications
• RoHS non-compliance does not conflict with application requirements

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable in circuit applications requiring 190V off-state TVS thyristor protection with 150A peak pulse current capability in TO-226-2 package configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are P2300EARP2 and P2300EALRP2 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical voltage ratings (190V off-state, 260V breakover, 4V on-state), current ratings (150A peak pulse at 8/20µs, 45A at 10/1000µs), hold current (150mA), and capacitance (35pF). They are functionally equivalent in circuit operation.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status, packaging format, and RoHS compliance. The P2300EARP2 is obsolete with bulk packaging and RoHS non-compliant status. The P2300EALRP2 is active, supplied in Tape & Reel format, and ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Can I use P2300EALRP2 as a direct replacement for P2300EARP2?

A: Yes, provided that Tape & Reel packaging is compatible with your assembly process and ROHS3 compliance does not conflict with your application requirements. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts compatible with TO-226-2 package footprints?

A: Yes. Both parts use TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (TO-226AC) package configuration with formed leads and through-hole mounting, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Q: Why is the P2300EARP2 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this specific part number. The P2300EALRP2 represents the active continuation of this product line with updated compliance certifications.
