Both parts operate within identical voltage specifications and thermal ranges, ensuring direct functional substitution in circuit applications requiring TVS protection at 240V standoff levels.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 30KP240CA-TP and 30KPA240CA are active production components with ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging availability and supply chain requirements. The 30KP240CA-TP is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the 30KPA240CA is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both components meet identical electrical specifications and thermal operating ranges, making them functionally interchangeable for circuit design purposes. Compliance status and regulatory certifications are equivalent across both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 30KPA240CA directly replace the 30KP240CA-TP in production assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including reverse standoff voltage (240V), breakdown voltage (268.1V), clamping voltage (387V), and peak pulse power (30kW). Both are through-hole mounted Zener TVS diodes with single bidirectional channels and equivalent thermal operating ranges (-55°C to 175°C).

Q: What is the difference between the R-6 and P600 package designations?

A: Both designations refer to axial through-hole packages. The R-6 and P600 are supplier-specific package identifiers for the same physical form factor. Mechanical compatibility is maintained for through-hole PCB mounting applications.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 30KP240CA-TP and 30KPA240CA carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes and share the same HTSUS code (8541.10.0080).

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for TVS diodes in this voltage class?

A: Substitution is determined by matching reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse power rating, operating temperature range, and mounting type. The 30KPA240CA meets all these criteria for the 30KP240CA-TP.

Q: Does the specified peak pulse current (78.3A for the substitute) affect compatibility?

A: The peak pulse current specification for the 30KPA240CA is provided as additional technical data. Both parts are rated for 30kW peak pulse power, which is the controlling parameter for substitution eligibility.
