Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P2300ECMCAP is determined by electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The critical parameters defining substitution eligibility are:

• 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
• Package / Case: TO-226-2, TO-92-2 (TO-226AC)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole

The P2300ECMCLAP meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with the P2300ECMCAP, maintaining identical voltage ratings, current handling specifications, and physical form factor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P2300ECMCLAP is the direct functional equivalent of the P2300ECMCAP. Both components share identical electrical specifications across all voltage and current parameters, as well as mechanical compatibility through the TO-226-2 package format.

The P2300ECMCLAP is classified as Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The P2300ECMCLAP achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the P2300ECMCAP is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the P2300ECMCLAP is the appropriate selection. The P2300ECMCLAP is supplied in Tape & Box packaging, providing standardized handling and storage conditions suitable for production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P2300ECMCLAP directly replace the P2300ECMCAP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P2300ECMCLAP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the P2300ECMCAP. All voltage ratings, current specifications, and package dimensions are identical. Direct substitution is permissible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from P2300ECMCAP to P2300ECMCLAP?

A: The P2300ECMCAP is obsolete. The P2300ECMCLAP is an active product with confirmed supply availability. Additionally, the P2300ECMCLAP meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the P2300ECMCAP does not.

Q: Are there any differences in package handling or storage between these parts?

A: The P2300ECMCLAP is supplied in Tape & Box packaging. Both components use the TO-226-2 through-hole package format with formed leads. Storage and handling procedures remain consistent with standard through-hole component practices.

Q: Do the electrical performance characteristics differ between these parts?

A: No. Both components maintain identical specifications for off-state voltage (190V), breakover voltage (260V), on-state voltage (4V), peak pulse current (400A at 8/20µs), and hold current (150mA).
