30KP198CA-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 30KP198CA-TP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose voltage protection applications. This through-hole component operates with a reverse standoff voltage of 198V and provides peak pulse power handling of 30kW. The part is currently in active production status and maintains full ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the specified parameter range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 30KPA198CA qualifies as a direct substitute for the 30KP198CA-TP based on the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 198V (identical)
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 221.2V (identical)
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 319.8V (identical)
• Power - Peak Pulse: 30000W (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Bidirectional Channels: 1 (identical)
• Type: Zener (identical)

Both components maintain the same electrical performance envelope and thermal operating range. The substitute part is manufactured by MDE Semiconductor Inc and is supplied in bulk packaging rather than tape & reel format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 30KP198CA-TP and 30KPA198CA meet the electrical requirements for 198V reverse standoff TVS diode applications with 30kW peak pulse power handling. Selection between these components should be based on the following factors:

• Both components maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance
• The main part (30KP198CA-TP) is supplied in tape & reel packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes
• The substitute part (30KPA198CA) is supplied in bulk packaging, appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume applications
• Physical package designations differ (R-6 versus P600), though both are axial through-hole configurations
• The substitute part provides specified peak pulse current of 94.7A, while the main part does not specify this parameter
• Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 175°C

Component selection should account for assembly methodology, packaging requirements, and inventory management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 30KPA198CA be used as a direct replacement for the 30KP198CA-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications for reverse standoff voltage (198V), breakdown voltage (221.2V), clamping voltage (319.8V), and peak pulse power (30kW). The primary differences are packaging format (tape & reel versus bulk) and physical package designation (R-6 versus P600). Both are through-hole axial components suitable for the same circuit applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different package designations (R-6 versus P600)?

A: R-6 and P600 are different physical package styles for axial through-hole components. While both are axial configurations, they may have different lead spacing or body dimensions. Verification of mechanical compatibility with the PCB layout is necessary before substitution.

Q: Does the specified peak pulse current (94.7A) on the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: The peak pulse current specification on the substitute part provides additional technical data not listed for the main part. Both components are rated for identical peak pulse power (30kW) and voltage parameters. The current specification on the substitute part is consistent with the power rating and does not indicate a functional difference.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and maintain MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The main part lists REACH status as "REACH Unaffected," while the substitute part indicates "REACH info available upon request." Both components carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classification.

Q: What packaging considerations should be evaluated for substitution?

A: The main part is supplied in tape & reel format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. Procurement and assembly process compatibility should be confirmed based on manufacturing requirements.
