Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP220CA-TP are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 220V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 244V or higher
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: Within acceptable range for 220V protection class
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Type: Zener
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 175°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the 5KP220CA from Littelfuse Inc. and the 15KPA220CA from MDE Semiconductor Inc. Both maintain the 220V reverse standoff voltage specification and operate within the required temperature range. The 5KP220CA is a direct equivalent from an alternative manufacturer with identical electrical ratings. The 15KPA220CA represents a higher power-rated variant (15kW vs 5kW) that maintains voltage compatibility while offering increased peak pulse current capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for equivalent use in 220V transient voltage suppression applications.

The 5KP220CA from Littelfuse Inc. provides direct electrical equivalence to the 5KP220CA-TP, with identical voltage ratings and power dissipation specifications. This part differs only in package designation (P600 vs R-6) and manufacturer, making it suitable for applications where the axial through-hole form factor is compatible with board layout requirements.

The 15KPA220CA from MDE Semiconductor Inc. maintains voltage compatibility while providing enhanced peak pulse current handling (42A vs 13.7A) and higher power dissipation (15kW vs 5kW). This part is appropriate for applications requiring greater transient energy absorption capacity within the same voltage protection class. The clamping voltage is lower (356V vs 371.1V), providing tighter voltage regulation during transient events.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application power requirements and available board space for the respective package geometries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP220CA from Littelfuse be used as a direct replacement for the 5KP220CA-TP?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 220V reverse standoff voltage, 244V breakdown voltage, 371.1V clamping voltage, and 5kW peak pulse power rating. The primary difference is the package designation (P600 vs R-6), which may affect physical fit on the PCB. Verify that the package footprint is compatible with your board layout before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the 5KP220CA and 15KPA220CA?

A: Both maintain the 220V reverse standoff voltage required for this protection class. The 15KPA220CA provides higher peak pulse current (42A vs 13.7A) and greater power dissipation (15kW vs 5kW), making it suitable for applications with higher transient energy levels. The 15KPA220CA also achieves lower clamping voltage (356V vs 371.1V), providing improved voltage regulation. Selection depends on whether your application requires the enhanced energy absorption capability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 5KP220CA from Littelfuse Inc. and the 15KPA220CA from MDE Semiconductor Inc. are both ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the 5KP220CA-TP.

Q: Do the substitute parts operate within the same temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across -55°C to 175°C (TJ), ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.

Q: What package types are available for these substitutes?

A: The 5KP220CA-TP uses R-6 axial packaging. The 5KP220CA substitute uses P600 axial packaging. The 15KPA220CA also uses P600 axial packaging. Confirm that the P600 package footprint is compatible with your PCB design before selecting either substitute.
