P2300ECAP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P2300ECAP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) thyristor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. in the SIDACtor® series. This component is designed for overvoltage protection applications requiring high peak pulse current handling. The P2300ECAP operates with a 190V off-state voltage and 260V breakover voltage, delivering 400A peak pulse current in 8/20µs waveforms.

The P2300ECAP is classified as obsolete. Identifying suitable substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P2300ECAP is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - Off State: 190V
• Voltage - Breakover: 260V
• Voltage - On State: 4V
• Current - Peak Pulse (8/20µs): 400A
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 100A
• Current - Hold (Ih): 150mA
• Capacitance: 80pF
• Number of Elements: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (TO-226AC) Formed Leads

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct electrical and mechanical equivalents and may be used as substitutes in applications originally designed for the P2300ECAP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P2300ECLAP is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the P2300ECAP. Both parts share identical electrical specifications across all voltage and current parameters, capacitance, and physical packaging.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The P2300ECAP is obsolete, while the P2300ECLAP is active and available. The P2300ECLAP carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the P2300ECAP is RoHS non-compliant. The P2300ECLAP is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging format.

For new designs and production applications, the P2300ECLAP is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original P2300ECAP specification must be preserved, the P2300ECLAP provides full functional equivalence with improved regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P2300ECLAP be used as a direct replacement for the P2300ECAP?

A: Yes. The P2300ECLAP meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the P2300ECAP. Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. in the SIDACtor® series and share identical voltage ratings, current ratings, and TO-226-2 / TO-92-2 packaging.

Q: What is the difference between the P2300ECAP and P2300ECLAP?

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The P2300ECLAP is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance certification and Tape & Box packaging. The P2300ECAP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both parts use the same TO-226-2 / TO-92-2 (TO-226AC) formed leads package configuration. Pinout and mechanical dimensions are identical.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the P2300ECLAP?

A: The P2300ECLAP is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The P2300ECAP is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can I use the P2300ECLAP in applications originally designed for the P2300ECAP?

A: Yes. The P2300ECLAP provides full functional equivalence. All electrical parameters, including voltage ratings, current ratings, and capacitance, are identical. The component operates identically in circuit.
