Replacement Compatibility

ProTek parts are compatible when:

1. Same series (TVS vs TVS, GBLC vs GBLC)
2. Same voltage rating (03 = 03, 15 = 15)
3. Same directionality (bidirectional cannot replace unidirectional)
4. Same or higher power (for TVS/SMD series)

Lead-Free Compatibility

Lead-free (-LF) variants are interchangeable with standard variants:

• PSM712 and PSM712-LF are functionally identical
• -LF suffix only indicates RoHS compliance

Voltage Extraction

String extractVoltage(String mpn) {
    String upperMpn = mpn.toUpperCase();

    // TVS series: TVS03500 -> 035 -> 3.5V
    if (upperMpn.startsWith("TVS")) {
        String voltageCode = upperMpn.substring(3, 6);  // e.g., "035"
        int voltageInt = Integer.parseInt(voltageCode);
        if (voltageInt < 100) {
            return String.format("%.1f", voltageInt / 10.0);  // 035 -> "3.5"
        }
        return String.valueOf(voltageInt / 10);  // 150 -> "15"
    }

    // GBLC series: GBLC03C -> 03 -> 3.3V
    if (upperMpn.startsWith("GBLC")) {
        String voltageCode = upperMpn.substring(4, 6);  // e.g., "03"
        int voltage = Integer.parseInt(voltageCode);

        // Extract numeric portion
    }

    // SMD series: SMD0512 -> 12V (last 2 digits)

        String voltageCode = upperMpn.substring(5, 7);  // e.g., "12"
        return String.valueOf(Integer.parseInt(voltageCode));
    }

    return "";
}

    // SMD series: SMD0512 -> 05 -> 500W
    if (upperMpn.matches("^SMD[0-9]{4}.*")) {
        String powerCode = upperMpn.substring(3, 5);  // e.g., "05"
        return Integer.parseInt(powerCode) * 100;  // 05 -> 500W

Learnings & Edge Cases

• GBLC always bidirectional: The "C" suffix indicates bidirectional, all GBLC parts have this
• PSM712 specific: PSM712 is specifically for RS-232, uses 7V standoff for +/-12V signals
• SMD naming: SMD series is named for package type, not to be confused with generic "SMD" term
• ULC line count: Second 2 digits indicate number of protection lines (12, 24)
• Voltage encoding varies: TVS uses 3 digits (divide by 10), GBLC uses 2 digits, SMD uses last 2 digits
• Lead-free interchangeable: -LF suffix only affects manufacturing process, electrically identical
