Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5KP10CA-TP is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 10V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 11.1V minimum
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 17V
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W (5kW)
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 175°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the 5KP10CA from Littelfuse Inc. (direct manufacturer equivalent) and the SLD10-018 from Littelfuse Inc. (similar series alternative). Both maintain identical electrical performance specifications and thermal operating range while offering equivalent mechanical compatibility in axial through-hole packages.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full electrical equivalence to the 5KP10CA-TP across all specified voltage and power parameters. The 5KP10CA from Littelfuse Inc. provides a direct functional replacement with identical breakdown voltage specifications and active product status. The SLD10-018 offers an alternative from the same manufacturer with slightly elevated minimum breakdown voltage (11.8V vs 11.1V) and includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry unlimited moisture sensitivity classification, and operate across the full -55°C to 175°C temperature range. Package differences (R-6 vs P600 axial configurations) must be verified for mechanical fit within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP10CA from Littelfuse be used as a direct replacement for the 5KP10CA-TP?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical voltage specifications (10V standoff, 11.1V breakdown minimum, 17V clamping maximum) and power rating (5000W peak pulse). Both are through-hole axial components with ROHS3 compliance and -55°C to 175°C operating range. Package designation differences (R-6 vs P600) require verification for mechanical compatibility in your specific circuit board layout.

Q: What is the difference between the 5KP10CA and SLD10-018 substitutes?

A: The primary difference is the minimum breakdown voltage specification: 5KP10CA specifies 11.1V while SLD10-018 specifies 11.8V. Both maintain the 17V clamping voltage and 5000W power rating. The SLD10-018 includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, indicating suitability for automotive applications. Both use P600 axial packaging.

Q: Are package differences between R-6 and P600 significant for substitution?

A: Package designation differences indicate potential variations in physical dimensions and lead spacing. While both are axial through-hole components, mechanical fit must be verified against your circuit board design. Consult component datasheets for precise dimensional specifications before finalizing substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The SLD10-018 additionally holds AEC-Q101 automotive qualification.

Q: Is the current rating difference between the main part and substitutes significant?

A: The main part (5KP10CA-TP) does not specify peak pulse current, while both substitutes specify 300A. This additional specification in the substitute parts provides engineering clarity but does not indicate incompatibility. The shared 5000W power rating and 17V clamping voltage remain the controlling parameters for substitution eligibility.
