Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 30KP64CA-TP are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the TVS diode category. The substitution criteria are:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 64V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 71.5V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 104V (±0.2V tolerance acceptable)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial configuration
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 175°C (TJ)
• Type: Zener
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation:

• Power - Peak Pulse: 15000W to 30000W (lower power ratings acceptable for reduced current applications)
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): Varies with power rating
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel or Bulk acceptable (both through-hole axial)
• Supplier Device Package: R-6 or P600 (both axial configurations)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

30KPA64CA (Direct Substitute): The 30KPA64CA is a direct electrical equivalent to the 30KP64CA-TP. Both components maintain identical voltage specifications (64V standoff, 71.5V breakdown, 104V clamping) and identical power ratings (30kW peak pulse). The primary difference is the package supplier designation (P600 vs. R-6) and packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Both are through-hole axial configurations suitable for identical PCB layouts. The 30KPA64CA is manufactured by MDE Semiconductor Inc and carries ROHS3 compliance with active product status. This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring the full 30kW power dissipation capability.

15KPA64CA (Similar Substitute): The 15KPA64CA maintains voltage compatibility with the main part (64V standoff, 71.5V breakdown, 104.2V clamping) but operates at half the power rating (15kW peak pulse vs. 30kW). The peak pulse current is correspondingly reduced to 144.9A compared to the 30KPA64CA's 291.3A. This substitute is suitable for applications with lower transient energy requirements or where reduced current handling is acceptable. The 15KPA64CA is manufactured by MDE Semiconductor Inc, ROHS3 compliant, and in active production. Selection of this part should be based on actual circuit transient energy specifications.

Both substitute parts are through-hole axial components with identical operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 175°C) and are ROHS3 compliant, meeting the same regulatory requirements as the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 30KPA64CA replace the 30KP64CA-TP in any application? A: Yes. The 30KPA64CA is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both are through-hole axial TVS diodes with identical voltage ratings (64V standoff, 104V clamping) and power ratings (30kW). The package designations (R-6 vs. P600) and packaging formats (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) do not affect electrical performance or PCB compatibility.

Q: When should I use the 15KPA64CA instead of the 30KPA64CA? A: The 15KPA64CA is appropriate when circuit transient energy is lower and does not require the full 30kW dissipation capability. The 15KPA64CA handles 144.9A peak pulse current versus 291.3A for the 30KPA64CA. Selection depends on actual circuit transient specifications. Both maintain identical voltage protection characteristics.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint? A: All three parts are through-hole axial components. The R-6 and P600 package designations refer to supplier-specific package configurations but maintain compatible axial lead spacing for through-hole mounting. Verify specific lead spacing requirements with component datasheets if footprint tolerance is critical.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements? A: Yes. The 30KPA64CA and 15KPA64CA are both ROHS3 compliant with active product status, matching the compliance profile of the 30KP64CA-TP. All three parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 175°C).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging? A: Tape & Reel packaging is used for automated assembly processes, while Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or smaller volume applications. Both formats contain identical components. The choice depends on manufacturing process requirements, not electrical performance.

Q: Can I substitute based on power rating alone? A: No. Voltage specifications must match exactly. The 15KPA64CA has identical voltage ratings to the main part but lower power handling. The 30KPA64CA matches both voltage and power specifications. Voltage compatibility is the primary substitution criterion.
