Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP58CE3/TR13 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Reverse standoff voltage of 58V (matching the main part)
• Breakdown voltage minimum within the 64.4V to 64.8V range
• Zener diode type with single bidirectional channel
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C (TJ)
• Through-hole P600 axial package configuration

Mechanical and Compliance Requirements:

• P600 axial package / case format for direct board-level substitution
• ROHS3 compliance certification
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited)
• Active product status

The substitute parts 15KPA58CA and 30KPA58CA satisfy all electrical and mechanical compatibility parameters. These parts maintain identical reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage specifications, operating temperature range, and package configuration. The primary differences are peak pulse current capacity and peak pulse power dissipation, which represent enhanced performance characteristics suitable for higher-energy transient events while maintaining full backward compatibility with the 5KP58CE3/TR13 footprint and electrical interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 15KPA58CA or 30KPA58CA be used as direct replacements for the 5KP58CE3/TR13?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical reverse standoff voltage (58V), breakdown voltage specifications (64.8V minimum), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and P600 axial through-hole package configuration. The primary difference is increased peak pulse power dissipation and peak pulse current capacity, which represent enhanced performance characteristics suitable for higher-energy transient events.

Q: What is the difference between the 15KPA58CA and 30KPA58CA?

A: The 15KPA58CA provides 15kW peak pulse power dissipation with 161A peak pulse current capacity. The 30KPA58CA provides 30kW peak pulse power dissipation with 327.9A peak pulse current capacity. Both maintain identical voltage specifications and package configuration. Selection depends on the maximum transient energy expected in the application.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts use the P600 axial through-hole package configuration, permitting direct board-level substitution without layout modifications.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same compliance certifications as the 5KP58CE3/TR13?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both substitute parts are active products with equivalent environmental compliance status.

Q: What is the significance of the clamping voltage difference between the parts?

A: The 5KP58CE3/TR13 has a maximum clamping voltage of 103V at peak pulse current, while the 15KPA58CA and 30KPA58CA have maximum clamping voltages of 93.8V and 92.4V respectively. Lower clamping voltage indicates improved transient suppression efficiency. All three parts maintain the same 58V reverse standoff voltage and 64.4V to 64.8V breakdown voltage specifications.

Q: Can these parts be used in power line protection applications?

A: No. All three parts are specified for general-purpose applications and are not rated for power line protection.
