5KP10CE3/TR13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP10CE3/TR13 is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This through-hole component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 175°C and is rated for 5000W peak pulse power dissipation. The part is currently in active production status and ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across critical parameters including reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse current, and package configuration. Alternative sources provide equivalent protection characteristics while maintaining the same P600 axial package footprint.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5KP10CE3/TR13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Reverse standoff voltage: 10V (Typ)
• Package configuration: P600 axial through-hole
• Bidirectional channel count: 1
• Device type: Zener TVS diode
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 175°C minimum
• Peak pulse power rating: 5000W minimum

Allowable Parameter Variance:

• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 11.1V to 11.8V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 17V to 18.8V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 266A to 300A

Substitute parts 5KP10CA and SLD10-018 meet all mandatory criteria and fall within allowable variance ranges for clamping voltage and peak pulse current. Both maintain identical reverse standoff voltage, package type, and thermal operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5KP10CA be used as a direct replacement for 5KP10CE3/TR13?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical reverse standoff voltage (10V), breakdown voltage range (11.1V minimum), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), peak pulse power rating (5000W), and P600 axial through-hole package. The 5KP10CA exhibits lower clamping voltage (17V versus 18.8V) and higher peak pulse current (300A versus 266A), both within acceptable substitution parameters for general-purpose TVS applications.

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

A: Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and share identical electrical specifications: 10V reverse standoff voltage, 17V clamping voltage, 300A peak pulse current, and 5000W peak pulse power. The primary distinction is that SLD10-018 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications. Both use P600 axial through-hole packaging.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 5KP10CE3/TR13 is supplied in tape and reel (TR) packaging. Both substitute parts (5KP10CA and SLD10-018) are supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging. All three parts use identical P600 axial through-hole package configuration and are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What does reverse standoff voltage mean in TVS diode selection?

A: Reverse standoff voltage is the maximum voltage the TVS diode can withstand in its normal operating state without conducting. All three parts maintain 10V reverse standoff voltage, ensuring equivalent protection thresholds in circuit applications.

Q: How do clamping voltage differences affect circuit protection?

A: Clamping voltage is the maximum voltage across the TVS diode during a transient event at peak pulse current. The 5KP10CE3/TR13 clamps at 18.8V, while both Littelfuse substitutes clamp at 17V. Lower clamping voltage provides tighter voltage regulation during transient suppression. Selection depends on downstream component voltage ratings and circuit protection requirements.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. The 5KP10CE3/TR13, 5KP10CA, and SLD10-018 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.
