Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP24A-TP are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 24V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 26.7V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 38.9V
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W (5kW)
• Type: Zener, Unidirectional
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Axial package
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 175°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitutes maintain identical electrical performance specifications and thermal operating range. Packaging variants (Cut Tape vs. Bulk) and package designations (R-6 vs. P600) represent different supplier formats of the same functional component. The SLD24U-017 series substitutes additionally carry AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, providing enhanced reliability for automotive-grade applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and thermal equivalence to the 5KP24A-TP. Selection among available options should be based on the following criteria:

Standard Applications: The 5KP24A (Cut Tape) and 5KP24A-B (Bulk) from Littelfuse Inc. provide direct functional equivalence with identical electrical specifications and packaging formats.

Automotive and High-Reliability Applications: The SLD24U-017 (Cut Tape) and SLD24U-017-B (Bulk) variants are qualified to AEC-Q101 automotive standards, providing enhanced qualification documentation and reliability assurance for automotive-grade circuit protection requirements.

Packaging Considerations: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes, while Bulk packaging accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling requirements. Both packaging formats contain electrically identical components.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with standard storage and handling procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5KP24A-TP be directly replaced with 5KP24A or SLD24U-017?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical voltage ratings (24V reverse standoff, 26.7V breakdown minimum, 38.9V clamping maximum), power dissipation (5000W peak pulse), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and through-hole axial mounting configuration. Electrical performance is equivalent.

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

A: R-6 and P600 are supplier-specific package designations for axial through-hole components with identical physical and electrical characteristics. Both are standard axial diode packages compatible with the same PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: Should I use SLD24U-017 instead of 5KP24A for my application?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. SLD24U-017 carries AEC-Q101 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications requiring enhanced qualification documentation. For general-purpose applications, both parts provide equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are Cut Tape and Bulk packaging electrically different?

A: No. Cut Tape (CT) and Bulk packaging contain electrically identical components. The packaging difference affects handling and assembly processes only. Cut Tape is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly, while Bulk packaging accommodates alternative handling methods.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are electrically equivalent and can be used interchangeably within the same circuit design. Ensure PCB footprint compatibility with the axial through-hole mounting configuration.
