Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 5KP30CE3/TR13 is determined by the following criteria:

Voltage Class Matching: All substitute parts maintain a 30V reverse standoff voltage specification, ensuring compatibility with the same circuit protection requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility: Substitute parts utilize P600 or R-6 axial through-hole packages, maintaining pin-to-pin compatibility with the original design.

Electrical Performance: Substitute parts operate within the same temperature range (-55°C to 175°C junction temperature) and maintain Zener diode bidirectional suppression topology.

Compliance Standards: All substitute parts comply with RoHS3 requirements and carry EAR99 export classification, matching the regulatory status of the main part.

Power Dissipation: Substitute parts are grouped by peak pulse power rating: 5kW (equivalent class), 15kW (higher performance), and 30kW (enhanced performance). Selection depends on application surge current requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5KP30CA (Diotec Semiconductor): Direct electrical equivalent with 5000W peak pulse power rating. Maintains P600 axial package compatibility. Operating temperature range of -50°C to 175°C covers standard industrial applications. RoHS3 compliant. Suitable for direct substitution in equivalent power-level applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP30CA-TP substitute for the 5KP30CE3/TR13 in existing PCB designs?

A: The 5KP30CA-TP maintains electrical equivalence and through-hole mounting compatibility. However, the R-6 package differs from the P600 package. Mechanical fit and lead spacing must be verified against the PCB layout before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the 5kW and 15kW rated substitutes?

A: The 15KPA30CA and 30KPA30CA series provide higher peak pulse power dissipation (15000W and 30000W respectively) and correspondingly higher peak pulse current ratings. These are suitable for applications with larger transient surge events. The 30V voltage class remains constant across all options.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts carry RoHS3 Compliant certification, matching the compliance status of the 5KP30CE3/TR13.

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution eligibility?

A: The 5KP30CA (Diotec) operates from -50°C to 175°C, compared to -55°C for other options. For applications requiring operation below -50°C, the 5KP30CA-B, 5KP30CA-TP, 15KPA30CA, or 30KPA30CA are required.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the 30V TVS diode class?

A: Substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (original), Bulk, and Cut Tape formats. The P600 and R-6 axial packages are the standard through-hole configurations for this voltage class.

Q: Can higher-power rated substitutes (15kW or 30kW) be used in place of the 5kW original?

A: Yes. Higher power-rated devices provide equivalent or superior performance in the same voltage class and package. The 15KPA30CA and 30KPA30CA maintain 30V standoff voltage and P600 package compatibility, allowing direct substitution with enhanced transient handling capability.

Q: What is the significance of the clamping voltage specification?

A: Clamping voltage indicates the maximum voltage across the TVS diode during peak pulse current. The 5KP30CE3/TR13 clamps at 53.5V, while alternatives range from 48.4V to 55.2V. Lower clamping voltage provides tighter protection; higher clamping voltage indicates different device characteristics within the same voltage class.
