PTN04050A - Thru-Hole Package Suffices and Differences

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PTN04050C

Could someone help to identify the differences between the differences between these two Thru-hole packages for these devices?

PTN04050AAD & PTN04050AAH

The datasheet doesn't have the details for the 'D" and "H" as what they really mean. Both are thru-hole with the similar characteristics. I wonder why do need 2 different part numbers in that case?

This naming convention is true for another device PTN04050C as well but no explanation.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

  • PTN04050WAH and  PTN04050WAD are electrically and mechanically the same component.

    In 2006 PTN04050WAH had its components changed to  lead(Pb) free.

    PTN04050WAD was originally  released as lead(Pb free).

  • Hi Tom,

    Thanks but it is still not clear. In your response, WAD and WAH have been mentioned but we're interested in AAD and AAH.

    Also, lead(Pb) free and lead(Pb free) confusing: “lead(Pb) free” can be read as positive meaning of meeting the lead free requirement but “lead(Pb free)” could be read in two ways, either it has lead or meeting the lead free spec.

    So question is to comply with ROHS requirement, which part shall be used? AAD or AAH ?

    Regards,

    Devan

  • Hi Devan:

    PTN04050AAH and  PTN04050WAD are electrically and mechanically the same component.

    In 2006 PTN04050AAH had its components changed to  RoHS Pb-Free (no lead)

    PTN04050WAD was originally  released as RoHS  (Pb free)( no Lead.

    See attached file extracted. from the PTN04050AAx specification  stating  PB-Free(RoHS    on PTN04050AAH and PTN04050AAD
