5KP6.0CE3/TR13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP6.0CE3/TR13 is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Microchip Technology, classified as a unidirectional Zener-type device for general-purpose transient protection applications. This component features a 6V reverse standoff voltage with an 11.4V maximum clamping voltage and 439A peak pulse current capability. The device is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with Through Hole P600 axial mounting configuration.

The 5KP6.0CE3/TR13 maintains Active product status and carries full RoHS3 compliance with REACH Unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, packaging format preferences, or equivalent electrical performance requirements while maintaining compatibility with the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP6.0CE3/TR13 are qualified based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 6V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 6.67V
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)
• Type: Zener
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Applications: General Purpose

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial configuration

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• Product Status: Active

Substitute parts 5KP6.0CA and 5KP6.0CA-TP meet these core criteria. Variations in clamping voltage (10.3V versus 11.4V) and peak pulse current (495.1A versus 439A) remain within the functional envelope of the 5kW power rating and represent acceptable performance trade-offs for equivalent circuit protection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—5KP6.0CE3/TR13, 5KP6.0CA, and 5KP6.0CA-TP—maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, confirming regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

5KP6.0CA (Littelfuse Inc.) provides direct electrical equivalence with identical reverse standoff voltage (6V), breakdown voltage (6.67V), and peak pulse power (5000W). The 10.3V clamping voltage represents a 1.1V reduction from the main part, while peak pulse current increases to 495.1A. Both P600 axial package variants maintain Through Hole mounting compatibility. This substitute is available in Cut Tape packaging format.

5KP6.0CA-TP (Micro Commercial Co) maintains identical voltage specifications (6V standoff, 6.67V breakdown) and 5000W peak pulse power with -55°C to 175°C operating temperature range. The R-6 axial package configuration differs from the P600 standard but retains Through Hole mounting compatibility. Peak pulse current data is not provided for this variant. This substitute is available in Cut Tape packaging format.

Selection between substitute parts depends on packaging format requirements (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and package case preference (P600 versus R-6 axial configuration). All parts satisfy the core electrical and thermal requirements for general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5KP6.0CA substitute for the 5KP6.0CE3/TR13 in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical reverse standoff voltage (6V), breakdown voltage (6.67V), and peak pulse power rating (5000W). The 5KP6.0CA exhibits a lower clamping voltage (10.3V versus 11.4V) and higher peak pulse current (495.1A versus 439A), which represents acceptable performance variation within the 5kW power envelope for general-purpose transient protection circuits.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 5KP6.0CA and 5KP6.0CA-TP?

A: The 5KP6.0CA uses P600 axial package configuration, while the 5KP6.0CA-TP uses R-6 axial package configuration. Both maintain Through Hole mounting compatibility and identical voltage specifications. Peak pulse current data is not provided for the 5KP6.0CA-TP variant.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and package case designation (P600 versus R-6) do not affect electrical performance. These differences address supply chain, assembly process, and inventory management requirements only.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 5KP6.0CE3/TR13, 5KP6.0CA, and 5KP6.0CA-TP all carry ROHS3 Compliant designation with REACH Unaffected status, confirming regulatory compliance for current applications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for all substitute parts?

A: All three parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 175°C (TJ), ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent circuit applications.

Q: Can the 5KP6.0CA-TP be used where P600 package is specified?

A: The 5KP6.0CA-TP uses R-6 axial package configuration instead of P600. While both are Through Hole axial packages, physical dimensions may differ. Verify mechanical fit and PCB layout compatibility before substitution.
