P3100EBAP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P3100EBAP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) thyristor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., part of the SIDACtor® series. This component is designed for overvoltage protection applications, featuring a 275V off-state voltage rating and 250A peak pulse current capability in a TO-226-2 package with formed leads.

The P3100EBAP has reached obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new production applications where this component specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P3100EBAP is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage ratings: Breakover voltage (350V), off-state voltage (275V), and on-state voltage (4V) must match exactly
• Current specifications: Peak pulse current at 8/20µs (250A) and 10/1000µs (80A), and hold current (150mA) must be identical
• Capacitance: 45pF
• Package configuration: TO-226-2 / TO-92-2 (TO-226AC) with formed leads, through-hole mounting
• Number of elements: Single element (1)

The P3100EBLAP meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the P3100EBAP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P3100EBLAP is the qualified substitute for the obsolete P3100EBAP. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. within the SIDACtor® series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The P3100EBLAP carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The P3100EBLAP is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing enhanced regulatory compliance compared to the non-compliant P3100EBAP. Both components maintain the same MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Selection of the P3100EBLAP is appropriate for all applications previously specified with the P3100EBAP, with no circuit redesign or validation required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P3100EBLAP directly replace the P3100EBAP in existing designs?

A: Yes. The P3100EBLAP is electrically and mechanically identical to the P3100EBAP across all specified parameters, including voltage ratings, current ratings, capacitance, and package configuration. Direct substitution is valid without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between P3100EBAP and P3100EBLAP?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The P3100EBAP is obsolete with bulk packaging, while the P3100EBLAP is active with Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Both share identical electrical specifications and the same TO-226-2 / TO-92-2 package form factor.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The P3100EBLAP is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while the P3100EBAP is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations, the P3100EBLAP is the required selection.

Q: Does the Tape & Box packaging of the P3100EBLAP affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or functional characteristics. The TB packaging of the P3100EBLAP provides improved handling and automated assembly compatibility compared to bulk packaging.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the P3100EBAP and P3100EBLAP are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and are part of the SIDACtor® product series.
