Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SL1021B250C is the direct equivalent for the obsolete SL1024B250C. Both components share identical electrical specifications (250V DC spark-over, 20kA impulse discharge current) and mechanical configuration (3-pole, cylinder no-lead package). The SL1021B250C maintains active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory continuity for new designs and procurement activities. Selection of the SL1021B250C eliminates obsolescence risk while preserving all functional and compliance requirements of the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SL1021B250C be used as a direct replacement for the SL1024B250C?

A: Yes. Both components have identical voltage ratings (250V DC spark-over), impulse discharge current (20kA), pole configuration (3-pole), and package type (Cylinder No Lead, 3 Terminal). No circuit modifications are required.
