Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute selection is based strictly on matching key electrical and mechanical parameters, including maximum AC and DC voltages, varistor voltage range, surge current capability, energy rating, capacitance at specified frequency, package form factor, number of circuits, operating temperature range, mounting type, and compliance features. In this category, substitutes must meet or exceed the performance in all required parameters and share comparable certifications and RoHS/REACH status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are marked as active, possess identical electrical and mechanical parameters, and are compliant with ROHS3, REACH, and AEC-Q200 standards where specified. Certifications and compliance information match across the main part and substitutes. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL), environmental compliance, and package form factor are consistent, supporting equivalency in regulated and automotive applications.
