Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P3602AB60 is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The primary substitution criteria are:

• Identical voltage ratings: Breakover voltage (220V, 440V) and off-state voltage (170V, 340V)
• Matching current specifications: Peak pulse current (250A at 8/20µs, 80A at 10/1000µs) and hold current (150 mA)
• Equivalent on-state voltage: 4 V
• Identical package configuration: 3-SIP through-hole, TO-220 Modified form factor
• Matching element count: 2 elements
• Equivalent capacitance range: 50pF, 90pF

The P3602ABL60 meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete P3602AB60.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P3602ABL60 is the direct substitute for the obsolete P3602AB60. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the P3602AB60 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the P3602ABL60 is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs and ongoing production requiring overvoltage protection with these specifications, the P3602ABL60 is the appropriate selection. Both components maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and export classifications.
