5KP26CA-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP26CA-TP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications. This bidirectional zener diode features a 26V reverse standoff voltage with a 42.1V maximum clamping voltage and 5000W peak pulse power rating. The component is housed in an R-6 axial through-hole package and maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP26CA-TP are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TVS diode category. The substitution criteria are:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 26V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 28.9V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 42.1V
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W (5kW)
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Type: Zener
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Product Status: Active

The substitute part 5KP26CA from Diotec Semiconductor meets all critical electrical parameters and maintains Active product status. Packaging differs (P600 axial vs. R-6 axial), but both are through-hole axial configurations suitable for equivalent circuit board integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 5KP26CA-TP and 5KP26CA are Active products with ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for current applications. The primary distinction is packaging designation (R-6 vs. P600) and minimum operating temperature (-55°C vs. -50°C). Selection between these parts should be based on specific circuit board layout requirements and thermal operating conditions. Both components satisfy the electrical performance criteria for 26V TVS diode applications with 5kW peak pulse power dissipation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP26CA substitute for the 5KP26CA-TP in all applications?

A: Yes, provided the P600 axial package footprint is compatible with the circuit board layout. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 26V reverse standoff voltage, 28.9V minimum breakdown voltage, and 42.1V maximum clamping voltage at peak pulse current.

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

A: Both are through-hole axial packages for TVS diodes. The designation refers to the specific package outline and lead configuration. Verify that the substitute package footprint matches the PCB design before implementation.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between these parts?

A: The 5KP26CA-TP operates from -55°C to 175°C, while the 5KP26CA operates from -50°C to 175°C. For applications requiring operation below -50°C, the 5KP26CA-TP is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes, both the 5KP26CA-TP and 5KP26CA are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring environmental and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the peak pulse power rating for these TVS diodes?

A: Both components are rated for 5000W (5kW) peak pulse power dissipation, making them suitable for general-purpose transient voltage suppression in industrial and commercial applications.
