P2600ECAP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P2600ECAP is a 220V off-state transient voltage suppressor (TVS) thyristor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for overvoltage protection in electronic circuits. This device operates as a SIDACtor® component with a 400A peak pulse current rating and is housed in a TO-226-2 package with formed leads.

The P2600ECAP carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and meet current regulatory compliance requirements for new production runs or system updates.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P2600ECAP is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

• Identical off-state voltage rating (220V)
• Identical breakover voltage (300V)
• Identical on-state voltage (4V)
• Identical peak pulse current ratings (400A at 8/20µs; 100A at 10/1000µs)
• Identical hold current (150mA)
• Identical capacitance (80pF)
• Compatible package type (TO-226-2 / TO-92-2 with formed leads)
• Through-hole mounting configuration

The P2600ECLAP meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with the P2600ECAP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P2600ECLAP is the direct equivalent substitute for the P2600ECAP. Both components share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging. The P2600ECLAP is preferred for new designs and production applications due to its active product status and ROHS3 compliance, whereas the P2600ECAP is obsolete and non-compliant with current environmental regulations.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements and regulatory compliance mandates. The P2600ECLAP is suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. Both parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications where the specified electrical parameters are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P2600ECLAP directly replace the P2600ECAP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P2600ECLAP is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the P2600ECAP. All voltage ratings, current specifications, capacitance values, and package configurations are identical. Direct substitution is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between P2600ECAP and P2600ECLAP?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The P2600ECAP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The P2600ECLAP is active and ROHS3 compliant. Packaging differs: P2600ECAP is supplied in bulk; P2600ECLAP is supplied in Tape & Box format.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components have identical electrical specifications: 220V off-state voltage, 300V breakover voltage, 4V on-state voltage, 400A peak pulse current (8/20µs), 100A peak pulse current (10/1000µs), 150mA hold current, and 80pF capacitance.

Q: Is the TO-226-2 package compatible with TO-92-2 footprints?

A: Both designations refer to the same physical package with formed leads. The components are mechanically compatible with through-hole PCB layouts designed for this package type.

Q: Why should I use P2600ECLAP instead of P2600ECAP?

A: The P2600ECLAP is the recommended choice for new production due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The P2600ECAP is obsolete and may face supply constraints.
