P6002AA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P6002AA is a SIDACtor® thyristor-based transient voltage suppressor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for overvoltage protection in 275V/550V applications. This component features a 3-SIP package configuration with 150A peak pulse current capability and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for design continuity and procurement reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P6002AA is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage ratings (Breakover: 350V/700V; Off-State: 275V/550V; On-State: 4V)
• Current specifications (Peak Pulse 8/20µs: 150A; Peak Pulse 10/1000µs: 45A; Hold Current: 150mA)
• Element configuration (2 elements)
• Capacitance range (20pF, 35pF)
• Package type (3-SIP, TO-220 Modified)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole)

The P6002AALRP meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional substitute for the obsolete P6002AA.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P6002AALRP is the direct equivalent substitute for the P6002AA. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. within the SIDACtor® series and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical configurations.

The P6002AALRP offers the following advantages for new designs and procurement:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support
• ROHS3 compliance meets current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes
• Identical electrical performance across all specified parameters

For applications currently using the P6002AA, direct substitution with P6002AALRP is electrically and mechanically compatible without circuit modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P6002AALRP be used as a direct replacement for P6002AA?

A: Yes. Both components are identical in electrical specifications (voltage ratings, current ratings, capacitance) and mechanical configuration (3-SIP package, TO-220 Modified, through-hole mounting). No circuit changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between P6002AA and P6002AALRP?

A: The primary differences are product status, compliance certification, and packaging format. P6002AA is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, supplied in bulk packaging. P6002AALRP is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, supplied in Tape & Reel format for automated assembly.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the different packaging formats?

A: No. The component itself is identical. Tape & Reel packaging (P6002AALRP) is standard for automated manufacturing processes, while bulk packaging (P6002AA) was typical for older procurement methods. The electrical and mechanical performance is unchanged.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of P6002AALRP affect circuit performance?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance indicates material composition standards and does not alter electrical characteristics or performance in the application circuit.

Q: What is the recommended part for new designs?

A: P6002AALRP is the recommended selection for all new designs and procurement due to active product status, regulatory compliance, and assured long-term availability.
