Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 30KPA84CE3/TR13 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Reverse Standoff Voltage: 84V (Typ)
• Package Type: P600, Axial through-hole configuration
• Device Type: Zener TVS diode
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Peak Pulse Power Rating: 30kW minimum
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)
• RoHS3 Compliance requirement

The substitute part 30KPA84CA-B, manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., satisfies all critical matching parameters. Both devices operate within the same voltage class (84V reverse standoff), share identical P600 axial through-hole packaging, maintain equivalent thermal operating ranges, and deliver the required 30kW peak pulse power capability. Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN classification) are equivalent across both parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 30KPA84CE3/TR13 (Microchip Technology)

The 30KPA84CE3/TR13 is the specified component and maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected regulatory standing. This part is suitable for new designs and ongoing production applications requiring Microchip sourcing or qualification.

Substitute Part: 30KPA84CA-B (Littelfuse Inc.)

The 30KPA84CA-B serves as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. Both devices share identical reverse standoff voltage (84V), peak pulse power rating (30kW), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and P600 axial through-hole package configuration. The Littelfuse part is Active status and maintains equivalent compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99). Selection between these parts is determined by supplier availability, procurement lead times, inventory position, or existing manufacturer qualification requirements within the design or production environment.

The 30KPA84CA-B provides additional parametric transparency with specified clamping voltage (139.2V @ Ipp) and peak pulse current (217.7A), which may support detailed circuit analysis where the Microchip part does not provide these values.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 30KPA84CA-B (Littelfuse) be used as a direct replacement for the 30KPA84CE3/TR13 (Microchip)?

A: Yes. Both devices are Zener-type TVS diodes with identical reverse standoff voltage (84V), peak pulse power rating (30kW), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and P600 axial through-hole packaging. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established across all critical parameters.

Q: Are there differences in the voltage breakdown specifications between these parts?

A: The Microchip part specifies minimum breakdown voltage at 88.43V, while the Littelfuse part specifies 93.8V. Both values fall within the acceptable tolerance band for 84V reverse standoff TVS diodes and do not prevent substitution. The Littelfuse part additionally provides clamping voltage (139.2V @ Ipp) and peak pulse current (217.7A) specifications not listed for the Microchip device.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 30KPA84CE3/TR13 and 30KPA84CA-B are RoHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8541.10.0080. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging designations TR13 and Bulk?

A: TR13 indicates Tape & Reel packaging format for the Microchip part, suitable for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging for the Littelfuse part indicates standard container format. Both parts use identical P600 axial through-hole component geometry. Packaging format selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility rather than electrical performance.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. The P600 axial through-hole package is identical for both parts, and the lead spacing and mounting footprint are equivalent. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Which part should be selected for new design qualification?

A: Selection between the Microchip 30KPA84CE3/TR13 and Littelfuse 30KPA84CA-B depends on existing manufacturer qualification, supply chain strategy, and procurement preferences. Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements. Consult internal design standards and supplier qualification documentation to determine the appropriate selection for your application.
