30KP54CA-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 30KP54CA-TP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications. This bidirectional zener diode features a 54V reverse standoff voltage with a 91.4V maximum clamping voltage and 30kW peak pulse power rating. The component is housed in an R-6 axial through-hole package and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is currently in active production status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching or compatible electrical characteristics including reverse standoff voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse power, and through-hole mounting configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 30KP54CA-TP are qualified based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff: 54V (all substitutes maintain this specification)
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 60.3V or 60V (functionally equivalent range)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (all substitutes use through-hole configuration)
• Package / Case: Axial packages (R-6, P600 variants are mechanically compatible)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 175°C (all substitutes match this range)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes meet this compliance requirement)
• Bidirectional Channels: 1 (all substitutes are single-channel bidirectional devices)

Substitutes are grouped by power rating and peak pulse current capability. The 30KPA54CA provides direct electrical equivalence with identical 30kW power rating. The 15KPA54CA and 5KP54CA offer reduced power ratings (15kW and 5kW respectively) and are suitable for applications with lower transient energy requirements while maintaining the same reverse standoff voltage and through-hole mounting.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory conformance for new designs.

The 30KPA54CA is the primary direct substitute for the 30KP54CA-TP, providing identical electrical performance with 30kW peak pulse power rating and 91.4V clamping voltage. This part is manufactured by MDE Semiconductor Inc and supplied in bulk packaging with P600 axial package configuration.

The 15KPA54CA is suitable for applications requiring reduced transient energy handling with 15kW peak pulse power rating while maintaining the 54V reverse standoff voltage specification. This part is also manufactured by MDE Semiconductor Inc.

The 5KP54CA is suitable for applications with minimal transient energy requirements, offering 5kW peak pulse power rating. This part is manufactured by Littelfuse Inc and supplied in cut tape packaging.

All substitute parts are through-hole mounted devices with identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C) and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 30KPA54CA directly replace the 30KP54CA-TP in existing designs?

A: The 30KPA54CA provides electrical equivalence with identical reverse standoff voltage (54V), breakdown voltage (60.3V), and peak pulse power (30kW). Both devices are through-hole mounted with axial package configuration. The primary difference is the package variant (R-6 versus P600), which are mechanically compatible in standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference between the 30KPA54CA and the 15KPA54CA?

A: The primary difference is peak pulse power rating. The 30KPA54CA handles 30kW with peak pulse current of 331.5A, while the 15KPA54CA handles 15kW with peak pulse current of 172.2A. Both maintain the same 54V reverse standoff voltage and 60.3V breakdown voltage. Selection depends on the transient energy level in the application circuit.

Q: Is the 5KP54CA suitable as a substitute for high-power transient protection applications?

A: The 5KP54CA is rated for 5kW peak pulse power with 58.6A peak pulse current, making it suitable only for applications with lower transient energy requirements. It maintains the 54V reverse standoff voltage but provides reduced clamping performance compared to the 30kW and 15kW rated alternatives.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts (30KPA54CA, 15KPA54CA, and 5KP54CA) are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), meeting the same regulatory requirements as the 30KP54CA-TP.

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

A: Both R-6 and P600 are axial through-hole package variants for TVS diodes. The packages are mechanically compatible in standard through-hole PCB layouts. Package selection is determined by component availability and supplier specifications.

Q: Do all substitute parts operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes, all substitute parts operate within the identical temperature range of -55°C to 175°C (TJ), ensuring thermal compatibility across all listed alternatives.
