Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP130AE3/TR13 are identified based on electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The primary substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff: 130V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 144V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 209V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 24.4A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: P600, Axial
• Unidirectional Channels: 1
• Device Type: Zener TVS Diode

Packaging Format Variations: Substitute parts may differ in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility, as both formats contain identical components in different supply configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5KP130A (Littelfuse Inc.) - Direct Equivalent:

The 5KP130A is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the 5KP130AE3/TR13. Both components share identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 130V reverse standoff voltage, 144V minimum breakdown voltage, 209V maximum clamping voltage, 24.4A peak pulse current, and 5000W peak pulse power. Both operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) and utilize the P600 axial through-hole package. The 5KP130A maintains active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. The primary difference is packaging format: the 5KP130A is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, whereas the 5KP130AE3/TR13 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This distinction affects only supply chain logistics and does not impact component functionality or performance.

PKC-136 (Diotec Semiconductor) - Limited Compatibility:

The PKC-136 is categorized as a Diode Array rather than a dedicated TVS diode and is not recommended as a direct substitute. While the component features through-hole mounting and axial package configuration (DO-204AC, DO-15), critical electrical parameters including reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, and peak pulse current are not specified in available documentation. The PKC-136 does not carry RoHS3 compliance certification, and REACH status is listed as vendor undefined. These factors preclude reliable substitution for applications requiring the specific electrical characteristics of the 5KP130AE3/TR13.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP130A replace the 5KP130AE3/TR13 in my circuit?

A: Yes. The 5KP130A is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 5KP130AE3/TR13. Both components feature identical voltage ratings (130V reverse standoff, 209V clamping), current ratings (24.4A peak pulse), power dissipation (5000W), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and package configuration (P600 axial through-hole). The only difference is packaging format: Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel. Component performance and circuit behavior are identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel and Cut Tape are supply format variations of the same component. Tape & Reel packaging provides components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for automated assembly processes. Cut Tape provides the same components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, suitable for manual assembly or smaller volume applications. The electronic component itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Is the PKC-136 a suitable substitute for the 5KP130AE3/TR13?

A: No. The PKC-136 is not recommended as a substitute. While both components feature through-hole axial packages, the PKC-136 is classified as a Diode Array rather than a dedicated TVS diode. Critical electrical parameters for the PKC-136, including reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, and peak pulse current, are not specified. Additionally, the PKC-136 does not carry RoHS3 compliance certification. These factors prevent reliable substitution.

Q: What electrical parameters must match for a valid TVS diode substitute?

A: For the 5KP130AE3/TR13, valid substitutes must match the following electrical parameters: 130V reverse standoff voltage, 144V minimum breakdown voltage, 209V maximum clamping voltage at peak pulse current, 24.4A peak pulse current (10/1000µs), 5000W peak pulse power, and -55°C to 175°C operating temperature range. Substitutes must also maintain the same package configuration (P600 axial) and mounting type (through-hole).

Q: Are there compliance differences between the 5KP130AE3/TR13 and 5KP130A?

A: No. Both the 5KP130AE3/TR13 and 5KP130A are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both components carry active product status and meet the same regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use the PKC-136 if I modify my circuit design?

A: No. The PKC-136 lacks specified electrical parameters necessary for TVS diode applications. Without documented reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, clamping voltage, and peak pulse current specifications, the PKC-136 cannot be reliably applied to transient voltage suppression circuits designed for the 5KP130AE3/TR13.
