5KP64CA-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP64CA-TP is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This bidirectional Zener diode operates with a 64V reverse standoff voltage and provides peak pulse power handling of 5000W. The device is specified for through-hole mounting in the R-6 axial package and maintains active product status with full ROHS3 compliance.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance parameters align with the main device specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in circuit designs where the primary part becomes unavailable or when higher power-handling capability is required within the same voltage class.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP64CA-TP are qualified based on the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage Class: Reverse standoff voltage of 64V (±tolerance range)
• Breakdown Voltage: Minimum breakdown voltage within 71.1V to 71.5V range
• Clamping Voltage: Maximum clamping voltage between 103V and 104.2V
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole axial package format
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 175°C junction temperature range
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

The 15KPA64CA and 30KPA64CA meet these substitution criteria while offering increased peak pulse power ratings (15kW and 30kW respectively), making them suitable for applications requiring higher transient energy absorption within the same voltage protection class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three devices maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing and deployment. The 5KP64CA-TP operates at 5kW peak pulse power with R-6 axial packaging. The 15KPA64CA and 30KPA64CA provide equivalent voltage protection characteristics with increased power dissipation capability (15kW and 30kW respectively) in the larger P600 axial package format.

Selection between these devices depends on circuit peak pulse power requirements and available board space for package accommodation. All devices share identical voltage class specifications (64V standoff, 71V+ breakdown range, 103-104V clamping) and temperature operating range, enabling functional interchangeability within these constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 15KPA64CA or 30KPA64CA directly replace the 5KP64CA-TP?

A: Yes, within the constraints of package physical dimensions and circuit board layout. Both substitute parts maintain the same 64V voltage class, breakdown voltage range, and clamping voltage specifications. The primary difference is increased peak pulse power handling (15kW and 30kW versus 5kW) and package size transition from R-6 to P600 axial format.

Q: What is the significance of the different package types (R-6 versus P600)?

A: R-6 and P600 are both axial through-hole packages but differ in physical dimensions and power dissipation capability. The P600 package accommodates higher power ratings. Board layout and mounting hole spacing must accommodate the selected package format.

Q: Are all three devices suitable for general-purpose transient voltage suppression?

A: Yes. All three devices are specified for general-purpose applications with identical voltage protection characteristics. Selection is determined by the circuit's peak transient pulse power requirements and available mounting space.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three devices operate across -55°C to 175°C junction temperature range, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent application environments.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these devices?

A: All three devices are ROHS3 compliant and classified as EAR99. The 5KP64CA-TP specifies REACH Unaffected status, while the 15KPA64CA and 30KPA64CA indicate REACH information available upon request. This does not affect functional substitution capability.
