Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 30KPA270AE3/TR13 are identified based on electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility are:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 270V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 436.2V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 69.5A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 30000W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: P600, Axial
• Type: Zener
• Unidirectional Channels: 1

The 30KPA270A qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters, operates within the same temperature range, utilizes the same P600 axial through-hole package, and shares the same Zener diode type and unidirectional channel configuration. Both parts are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 30KPA270A is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the 30KPA270AE3/TR13. Both components are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH status documentation available. The electrical specifications are identical across all critical parameters: reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse current, and peak pulse power dissipation. Both devices operate within the same temperature range and utilize identical P600 axial through-hole packaging.

The primary difference between the two parts is the packaging format: the 30KPA270AE3/TR13 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the 30KPA270A is supplied in Bulk format. This distinction affects procurement and handling procedures but does not impact electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in the application circuit.

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain availability. Both parts satisfy the electrical and mechanical requirements for general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications operating at 270V reverse standoff voltage with 30kW peak pulse power dissipation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 30KPA270A be used as a direct replacement for the 30KPA270AE3/TR13?

A: Yes. The 30KPA270A is electrically and mechanically equivalent. All critical electrical parameters match exactly: 270V reverse standoff voltage, 436.2V clamping voltage, 69.5A peak pulse current, and 30kW peak pulse power dissipation. Both components use P600 axial through-hole packaging and operate across -55°C to 175°C.

Q: What is the difference between the Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats?

A: Tape & Reel packaging (TR) supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in containers. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in handling and assembly methodology.

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

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and Active status products. The 30KPA270AE3/TR13 lists REACH status as "REACH Unaffected," while the 30KPA270A indicates "REACH info available upon request." Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8541.10.0080 HTSUS code.

Q: Do these parts have identical temperature operating ranges?

A: Yes. Both the 30KPA270AE3/TR13 and 30KPA270A operate across -55°C to 175°C junction temperature range, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in the application circuit.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: reverse standoff voltage (270V), clamping voltage (436.2V), peak pulse current (69.5A), peak pulse power (30kW), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), mounting type (through hole), package type (P600 axial), diode type (Zener), and channel configuration (unidirectional, 1 channel).
