5KP200A-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP200A-TP is a unidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This through-hole component operates across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 175°C and is ROHS3 compliant. The part is currently in active production status with 723 units available in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances for this TVS diode category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5KP200A-TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 200V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): within 222V specification
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: within 329.2V specification
• Power - Peak Pulse: minimum 5000W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Type: Zener
• Unidirectional Channels: 1

Substitute parts must maintain electrical equivalence across these parameters to ensure functional interchangeability in circuit protection applications. Package variations (R-6 vs. P600) and packaging formats (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk vs. Cut Tape) do not affect electrical performance but may impact procurement and assembly workflows.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for current applications. The 5KP200A from Littelfuse Inc. provides direct electrical equivalence to the 5KP200A-TP, with identical voltage and power specifications. This part is available in higher inventory (3709 units) and represents the closest functional match.

The 15KPA200A from MDE Semiconductor Inc. offers enhanced power dissipation capability (15000W vs. 5000W) and higher peak pulse current (47.3A vs. 15.5A), while maintaining the same reverse standoff voltage and operating temperature range. This part is suitable for applications requiring greater transient energy absorption. The clamping voltage specification (319.1V) remains within acceptable tolerance relative to the primary part.

Package considerations: The 5KP200A-TP uses R-6 axial packaging, while both substitute parts employ P600 axial packaging. Physical dimensions and lead spacing may differ, requiring verification against PCB layout constraints before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP200A from Littelfuse Inc. directly replace the 5KP200A-TP?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical reverse standoff voltage (200V), breakdown voltage (222V minimum), clamping voltage (329.2V maximum), and power rating (5000W). Operating temperature ranges and compliance certifications are equivalent. Package type differs (P600 vs. R-6), requiring physical fit verification.

Q: When should the 15KPA200A be selected instead of the 5KP200A?

A: The 15KPA200A is appropriate for circuits requiring higher transient energy absorption (15kW vs. 5kW) or experiencing peak pulse currents exceeding 15.5A. Reverse standoff voltage and operating temperature specifications remain compatible with 5KP200A-TP applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Bulk, Cut Tape) and package type (R-6 vs. P600) do not alter electrical characteristics. Selection depends on procurement requirements and PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 5KP200A and 15KPA200A both carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the primary part specification.

Q: What is the significance of the clamping voltage difference between 5KP200A and 15KPA200A?

A: The 15KPA200A clamping voltage (319.1V) is 10.1V lower than the 5KP200A (329.2V), providing slightly tighter voltage regulation during transient events. Both values remain within acceptable operating margins for general-purpose TVS applications.
