Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 5KP64CE3/TR13 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 64V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): Within 71.1V to 71.5V range
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: P600, Axial
• Type: Zener
• Bidirectional Channels: 1
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)

Variable Parameters Allowing Substitution:

• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 104.0V to 114V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 43.9A to 291.3A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 5000W to 30000W

The identified substitute parts (15KPA64CA and 30KPA64CA) maintain identical reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage range, package configuration, and operating temperature specifications. These substitutes provide increased peak pulse current and power dissipation capacity, enabling use in applications with higher transient energy requirements while preserving voltage regulation characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5KP64CE3/TR13 (Primary Part)

The 5KP64CE3/TR13 is suitable for general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications requiring 5000W peak pulse power dissipation. This part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection of this part is appropriate for standard overvoltage protection circuits where peak pulse current does not exceed 43.9A.

15KPA64CA (Substitute - Medium Power)

The 15KPA64CA provides three times the peak pulse power dissipation (15000W) and 3.3 times the peak pulse current (144.9A) compared to the primary part. This substitute maintains identical reverse standoff voltage (64V), comparable breakdown voltage (71.5V), and equivalent operating temperature range. The 15KPA64CA is manufactured by MDE Semiconductor Inc and carries RoHS3 compliance. This substitute is selected for applications requiring enhanced transient energy absorption while maintaining the same voltage regulation class.

30KPA64CA (Substitute - High Power)

The 30KPA64CA provides six times the peak pulse power dissipation (30000W) and 6.6 times the peak pulse current (291.3A) compared to the primary part. This substitute maintains identical reverse standoff voltage (64V), comparable breakdown voltage (71.5V), and equivalent operating temperature range. The 30KPA64CA is manufactured by MDE Semiconductor Inc and carries RoHS3 compliance. This substitute is selected for high-energy transient suppression applications requiring maximum current handling within the 64V voltage class.

All substitute parts share identical P600 axial through-hole package configuration, enabling direct mechanical replacement in existing circuit board layouts. Voltage regulation characteristics remain within acceptable tolerance across all three parts, with clamping voltages ranging from 104V to 114V at peak pulse current.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 15KPA64CA or 30KPA64CA be used as direct replacements for the 5KP64CE3/TR13?

A: Yes, both substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. All three parts share identical P600 axial through-hole package configuration, 64V reverse standoff voltage, and -55°C to 175°C operating temperature range. The substitute parts provide increased peak pulse current and power dissipation capacity, making them suitable for applications with higher transient energy requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between the three parts?

A: The primary difference is peak pulse power handling capacity. The 5KP64CE3/TR13 dissipates 5000W, the 15KPA64CA dissipates 15000W, and the 30KPA64CA dissipates 30000W. All three maintain the same 64V reverse standoff voltage and voltage regulation characteristics.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are RoHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and share the same HTSUS code (8541.10.0080). All maintain MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The 5KP64CE3/TR13 and 15KPA64CA have confirmed REACH status; the 30KPA64CA indicates REACH information available upon request.

Q: Will substituting a higher-power part affect circuit performance?

A: Substituting a higher-power part does not degrade circuit performance. The substitute parts maintain equivalent voltage regulation characteristics (clamping voltage within 104V to 114V range) and identical reverse standoff voltage. Higher power capacity provides additional margin for transient energy absorption without affecting normal circuit operation.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The 5KP64CE3/TR13 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The 15KPA64CA and 30KPA64CA are supplied in Bulk packaging. All three parts use identical P600 axial through-hole package configuration for circuit board mounting.

Q: Are these parts suitable for power line protection applications?

A: No. All three parts are classified for general-purpose transient voltage suppression and are not designated for power line protection applications.
