5KP200C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP200C is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for general-purpose voltage clamping applications. This component features a 200V reverse standoff voltage rating and 345.66V maximum clamping voltage with 5000W peak pulse power handling capability. The 5KP200C is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5KP200C is based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage Rating Compatibility: Reverse standoff voltage of 200V and breakdown voltage minimum of 210.6V establish the primary substitution criterion
• Package Compatibility: P600 axial through-hole package ensures mechanical and thermal compatibility
• Power Handling: 5000W peak pulse power rating must be maintained
• Thermal Range: Operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C (TJ) defines the acceptable thermal envelope
• Zener Type: Single-channel bidirectional configuration
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification must be preserved

The 5KP200CA qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters within the allowed electrical and mechanical specifications for this TVS diode category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5KP200CA is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 5KP200C. Both components maintain identical reverse standoff voltage (200V), power rating (5000W), thermal operating range (-55°C to 175°C), and package configuration (P600 axial through-hole). The 5KP200CA offers the additional advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity classification, supporting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP200CA be used as a direct replacement for the 5KP200C?

A: Yes. Both components share identical reverse standoff voltage (200V), peak pulse power rating (5000W), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and P600 axial through-hole package configuration. The 5KP200CA is an active product, providing supply continuity for the obsolete 5KP200C.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The 5KP200CA has a higher minimum breakdown voltage (222V versus 210.6V) and lower maximum clamping voltage (329.2V versus 345.66V). The 5KP200CA specifies peak pulse current at 15.5A, whereas the 5KP200C does not provide this specification. Both maintain identical power handling and thermal ratings.

Q: Are there any package or mounting differences?

A: No. Both the 5KP200C and 5KP200CA use the P600 axial through-hole package, ensuring identical mechanical compatibility and PCB mounting requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and EAR99 export control designation.

Q: Why is the 5KP200C obsolete?

A: The 5KP200C is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 5KP200CA, as an active product from the same 5KP series, provides equivalent electrical performance and serves as the recommended substitute for new designs and ongoing procurement.
