Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the P6002AB60 is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage ratings: Breakover voltage (350V, 700V) and off-state voltage (275V, 550V)
• Current specifications: Peak pulse current (8/20µs) at 250A and (10/1000µs) at 80A
• Hold current: 150 mA minimum
• Package configuration: 3-SIP dual-element thyristor in TO-220 Modified form factor
• Mounting method: Through-hole technology

The P6002ABL60 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical performance across all specified parameters and compatible mechanical packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P6002ABL60 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete P6002AB60. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Key differentiation factors:

• P6002AB60: Obsolete product status; RoHS non-compliant; 1091 units in stock
• P6002ABL60: Active product status; ROHS3 compliant; REACH unaffected; 1002 units in stock

For new designs or ongoing production requiring compliance with current regulatory standards, the P6002ABL60 is the appropriate selection. The active product status ensures continued manufacturer support, technical documentation availability, and supply chain reliability. The ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status satisfy modern environmental and safety requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P6002ABL60 be used as a direct replacement for P6002AB60?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including voltage ratings, current capabilities, hold current, capacitance, and package configuration. The P6002ABL60 is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between P6002AB60 and P6002ABL60?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. P6002AB60 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. P6002ABL60 is active, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there any package or pinout differences?

A: No. Both components use the 3-SIP package configuration in TO-220 Modified form factor with identical through-hole mounting. Pinout and mechanical dimensions are equivalent.

Q: What does "3-SIP" mean in this context?

A: 3-SIP refers to a 3-pin Single In-line Package configuration. In this case, it represents a dual-element thyristor with three connection points in a through-hole mounting format.

Q: Is the P6002ABL60 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected designation make P6002ABL60 appropriate for new designs requiring current regulatory compliance and long-term manufacturer support.

Q: What is the significance of the "L" designation in P6002ABL60?

A: The "L" designation indicates the active variant with updated compliance certifications. It represents the current production equivalent of the obsolete P6002AB60.
