Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P2300ECMC is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria establish direct substitutability:

• Voltage - Off State: 190V (exact match required)
• Voltage - Breakover: 260V (exact match required)
• Voltage - On State: 4V (exact match required)
• Current - Peak Pulse (8/20µs): 400A (exact match required)
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 100A (exact match required)
• Current - Hold (Ih): 150mA (exact match required)
• Capacitance: 50pF (exact match required)
• Package / Case: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Number of Elements: 1 (exact match required)

The P2300ECMCL meets all electrical and mechanical parameters specified above, establishing it as a direct equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P2300ECMCL is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete P2300ECMC. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The P2300ECMCL is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new designs and field service applications.

The P2300ECMCL provides additional compliance advantages: it meets ROHS3 requirements, whereas the P2300ECMC is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring compliance documentation, the P2300ECMCL is the appropriate selection. Both components carry identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) and ECCN classification (EAR99).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P2300ECMCL be used as a direct replacement for the P2300ECMC?

A: Yes. The P2300ECMCL is electrically and mechanically identical to the P2300ECMC across all specified parameters, including voltage ratings, current ratings, capacitance, and package configuration. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between P2300ECMC and P2300ECMCL?

A: The components are electrically equivalent. The primary differences are packaging (the P2300ECMCL is supplied in bulk packaging) and compliance status (P2300ECMCL is ROHS3 compliant, while P2300ECMC is non-compliant). Both are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. in the SIDACtor® series.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both components use the TO-226-2 and TO-92-2 package configurations with identical through-hole mounting. Pin configuration and mechanical dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The P2300ECMCL should be selected for new designs. It is in active production status and meets current RoHS3 compliance requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Is the P2300ECMCL suitable for existing applications using the P2300ECMC?

A: Yes. The electrical and mechanical equivalence of the P2300ECMCL makes it suitable for retrofit and field service applications where the P2300ECMC was originally specified.
