Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P3002AB60 is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage ratings: Breakover voltage (180V, 360V) and off-state voltage (140V, 280V)
• Current specifications: Peak pulse current (8/20µs) at 250A and (10/1000µs) at 80A
• On-state voltage: 4V
• Hold current: 150 mA
• Element configuration: 2 elements
• Capacitance range: 55pF, 95pF
• Package type: 3-SIP with TO-220 modified supplier package
• Mounting configuration: Through hole

Parts meeting all these parameters are considered direct electrical and mechanical equivalents suitable for replacement in the same application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P3002ABL60 is the direct substitute for the obsolete P3002AB60. Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse within the SIDACtor® series and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance. The P3002AB60 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the P3002ABL60 is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards, the P3002ABL60 is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain equivalent performance characteristics for transient voltage suppression applications requiring 250A peak pulse current handling at 140V/280V off-state voltage ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P3002ABL60 be used as a direct replacement for P3002AB60?

A: Yes. The P3002ABL60 provides identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Both devices feature the same voltage ratings (140V/280V off-state), peak pulse current (250A at 8/20µs), on-state voltage (4V), and 3-SIP TO-220 modified package configuration.

Q: What is the difference between P3002AB60 and P3002ABL60?

A: The primary differences are product status and compliance certification. P3002AB60 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. P3002ABL60 is active production and ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical 3-SIP package configuration with TO-220 modified supplier packaging and through-hole mounting. Physical dimensions and pin configurations are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be selected for new applications?

A: The P3002ABL60 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: Do these parts have the same hold current specification?

A: Yes. Both P3002AB60 and P3002ABL60 specify 150 mA hold current (Ih) and identical capacitance values of 55pF and 95pF.
