Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 5KP180A-TP is determined by matching the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff: 180V (±tolerance)
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 292V
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W
• Unidirectional Channels: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Type: Zener TVS Diode
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The 5KP180A manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. meets all critical electrical specifications and compliance requirements. Packaging differences (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) and supplier device package designations (R-6 vs. P600) do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5KP180A manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. is a direct electrical equivalent to the 5KP180A-TP. Both components maintain identical voltage specifications (180V reverse standoff, 292V clamping), power ratings (5000W peak pulse), and thermal operating range (-55°C to 175°C). Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Selection between these parts may be determined by packaging requirements (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), supplier availability, or procurement specifications. The Littelfuse variant provides documented peak pulse current specification (17.5A), which may be beneficial for detailed circuit analysis. Both parts are in active production status with established supply chains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP180A (Littelfuse) be used as a direct replacement for the 5KP180A-TP (Micro Commercial Co)?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications for reverse standoff voltage (180V), breakdown voltage (200V minimum), clamping voltage (292V maximum), and peak pulse power (5000W). Both are single-channel through-hole Zener TVS diodes with matching operating temperature ranges and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between R-6 and P600 package designations?

A: R-6 and P600 are supplier device package designations for axial through-hole components. Both refer to the same physical form factor and pin configuration. The designation difference reflects manufacturer or distributor nomenclature and does not affect electrical performance or circuit compatibility.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes. Electrical and thermal performance characteristics remain identical regardless of whether the component is supplied on Tape & Reel or Cut Tape.

Q: Are both parts suitable for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications?

A: Yes. Both the 5KP180A-TP and 5KP180A are rated for general-purpose applications with identical voltage protection specifications and power dissipation capabilities.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
