5KP130C-B Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP130C-B is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This component features a 130V reverse standoff voltage rating and 5000W peak pulse power handling capability in a through-hole P600 axial package. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 5KP130C-B is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 130V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: Within acceptable range for circuit protection
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W minimum
• Package / Case: P600 or R-6 axial through-hole
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 175°C or compatible range
• RoHS3 Compliance

Substitute Categories:

Category 1: Direct Littelfuse Equivalents (Same Manufacturer, Active Status)

• 5KP130CA (Cut Tape packaging)
• 5KP130CA-B (Bulk packaging)
• 5KP130CAE3/TR13 (Tape & Reel packaging)

These parts maintain identical reverse standoff voltage (130V), clamping voltage (209V), and power rating (5000W) with active product status.

Category 2: Alternative Manufacturer Equivalents (P600 Package, 5kW Rating)

• 5KP130CA-G (Comchip Technology, R-6 package)
• 5KP130CA-TP (Micro Commercial Co, R-6 package)

These parts provide equivalent electrical performance with alternative package designations (R-6 vs P600) and different manufacturers.

Category 3: Higher Power Alternatives (Microchip Technology, 15kW Rating)

• 15KPA130CAE3/TR13 (15000W peak pulse)
• 15KPA130CE3/TR13 (15000W peak pulse)

These parts maintain the 130V reverse standoff voltage but provide enhanced power handling (15kW vs 5kW), suitable for applications requiring higher transient energy absorption.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Performance): Select 5KP130CA, 5KP130CA-B, or 5KP130CAE3/TR13. All three maintain identical reverse standoff voltage (130V), comparable clamping voltage (209V), and 5000W power rating. These parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. or Microchip Technology with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these options depends on packaging requirements: bulk (5KP130CA-B), cut tape (5KP130CA), or tape & reel (5KP130CAE3/TR13).

For Alternative Manufacturer Equivalents: 5KP130CA-G (Comchip Technology) and 5KP130CA-TP (Micro Commercial Co) provide equivalent electrical performance with R-6 package designation instead of P600. Note that 5KP130CA-G has a reduced operating temperature upper limit of 150°C compared to the original 175°C specification.

For Enhanced Power Handling: 15KPA130CAE3/TR13 and 15KPA130CE3/TR13 (Microchip Technology) offer 15000W peak pulse power rating, providing three times the transient energy absorption capability while maintaining the 130V reverse standoff voltage. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher overvoltage protection margins.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and operate within the -55°C to 175°C temperature range (except 5KP130CA-G, which is limited to 150°C). All parts are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 5KP130CA as a direct replacement for 5KP130C-B? A: Yes. Both parts share the same 130V reverse standoff voltage, comparable clamping voltage (209V vs 219.45V), and identical 5000W power rating. The primary difference is product status: 5KP130C-B is obsolete while 5KP130CA is active. Packaging differs by supplier designation (bulk, cut tape, or tape & reel).

Q: What is the difference between P600 and R-6 package designations? A: Both are through-hole axial packages for TVS diodes. P600 and R-6 refer to different manufacturer package specifications. Parts with R-6 designation (5KP130CA-G, 5KP130CA-TP) are functionally equivalent but use alternative package standards. Verify mechanical compatibility with your PCB footprint before selection.

Q: Should I use the 15kW rated parts (15KPA130CAE3/TR13 or 15KPA130CE3/TR13) instead of 5kW parts? A: The 15kW parts provide enhanced transient energy absorption capability and are suitable for applications with higher overvoltage stress. However, they are not required for circuits designed around the 5kW specification. Selection depends on your circuit's actual transient energy requirements and design margins.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, matching the original 5KP130C-B specification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute? A: Most substitutes operate from -55°C to 175°C (TJ). The exception is 5KP130CA-G (Comchip Technology), which is rated -55°C to 150°C. Verify this specification against your application's thermal requirements.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers in the same circuit? A: Yes. All substitute parts meet the same electrical specifications (130V reverse standoff, comparable clamping voltage, 5000W power rating) and are ROHS3 compliant. However, verify that your procurement and quality assurance processes support multiple manufacturer sources.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability? A: Inventory levels vary by part number and supplier. 5KP130CA (3800 pcs), 5KP130CA-TP (1514 pcs), and 15KPA130CE3/TR13 (1130 pcs) show higher stock levels. Consult your component distributor for current availability and lead times.
