Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SL1024B450C is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The following criteria determine direct substitutability:

  • Voltage - DC Spark Over (Nominal): 450V
  • Impulse Discharge Current (8/20µs): 20000A (20kA)
  • Number of Poles: 3
  • Package / Case: Cylinder No Lead, 3 Terminal
  • Fail Short characteristic: No
  • RoHS3 Compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The SL1021B450C meets all these criteria and is classified as Active product status, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete SL1024B450C.
