30KP72CA-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 30KP72CA-TP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose voltage transient protection applications. This through-hole component features a 72V reverse standoff voltage with a 114V maximum clamping voltage and 30kW peak pulse power rating. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). 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

Substitution eligibility for the 30KP72CA-TP is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 72V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 80.4V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 114V
• Power - Peak Pulse: 30000W (30kW)
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Type: Zener
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The 30KPA72CA meets all specified electrical performance criteria and maintains active product status with equivalent compliance certifications. Package configuration differences (R-6 vs. P600 axial packages) do not affect electrical substitution eligibility for through-hole applications where mechanical fit permits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 30KP72CA-TP and 30KPA72CA maintain active product status with identical ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Package availability and mechanical fit within the PCB layout (R-6 vs. P600 axial packages)
• Lead time and inventory requirements
• Supplier preference and procurement agreements
• Physical space constraints in the application circuit

The electrical performance specifications are equivalent across all critical parameters. Both components satisfy the same functional requirements for 72V TVS diode applications with 30kW peak pulse power dissipation capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 30KPA72CA directly replace the 30KP72CA-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the axial package dimensions (R-6 vs. P600) are compatible with the PCB layout and mechanical assembly requirements. Both components share identical electrical specifications for voltage clamping, breakdown, and power dissipation.

Q: What is the difference between R-6 and P600 axial packages?

A: Both are through-hole axial package configurations for TVS diodes. Physical dimensions and lead spacing may differ. Verify mechanical compatibility with your specific PCB footprint before substitution.

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

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 export classification, and maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the peak pulse current specification for the 30KP72CA-TP?

A: The peak pulse current (10/1000µs) is not specified in the available data for the 30KP72CA-TP. The 30KPA72CA substitute specifies 265.8A peak pulse current at the same 30kW power rating.

Q: How do I determine if a substitute part is suitable for my application?

A: Confirm that the reverse standoff voltage (72V), clamping voltage (114V), and peak pulse power (30kW) match your circuit protection requirements. Verify mechanical package compatibility with your PCB design before implementation.
