5KP90CE3/TR13 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 5KP90CE3/TR13 is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This bidirectional Zener diode operates with a 90V reverse standoff voltage and provides 160V maximum clamping voltage at peak pulse current. The component is rated for 5000W peak pulse power dissipation and is housed in a P600 axial through-hole package. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 5KP90CE3/TR13 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 90V
• Package / Case: P600, Axial
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Type: Zener, Bidirectional
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: Lower or equal values acceptable
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): Higher values acceptable
• Power - Peak Pulse: Higher values acceptable

The substitute part 15KPA90CA meets all critical matching parameters while providing enhanced electrical performance characteristics. Both parts operate identically at the circuit interface level with matching reverse standoff voltage, identical package configuration, and equivalent thermal operating range. The substitute part delivers superior transient suppression capability through higher peak pulse current handling and increased power dissipation capacity, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced protection margins.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5KP90CE3/TR13 Selection Criteria:

• Standard protection requirement applications with 5kW peak pulse power dissipation
• Microchip Technology supply chain preference or existing qualification
• Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly processes
• Applications where 31.3A peak pulse current is sufficient

15KPA90CA Selection Criteria:

• Enhanced transient protection with 15kW peak pulse power dissipation capability
• Applications requiring higher peak pulse current handling (103.7A)
• Lower clamping voltage (145.6V vs 160V) for improved voltage regulation
• Bulk packaging availability for alternative procurement channels
• MDE Semiconductor Inc supply chain integration

Both parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is based on application power dissipation requirements and available supply sources. The substitute part 15KPA90CA provides superior electrical performance characteristics while maintaining identical circuit interface compatibility through matching reverse standoff voltage and package configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 15KPA90CA directly replace the 5KP90CE3/TR13 in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical reverse standoff voltage (90V), package configuration (P600 axial), mounting type (through hole), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C). The substitute part is electrically compatible at the circuit interface level.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two TVS diodes?

A: The 15KPA90CA provides enhanced transient suppression performance with 15kW peak pulse power dissipation compared to the 5KP90CE3/TR13 at 5kW. The substitute part also delivers higher peak pulse current (103.7A vs 31.3A) and lower maximum clamping voltage (145.6V vs 160V).

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use identical P600 axial through-hole packages. The 5KP90CE3/TR13 is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, while the 15KPA90CA is available in Bulk packaging. This difference affects procurement and assembly processes but not electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 5KP90CE3/TR13 and 15KPA90CA are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level). Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8541.10.0080 HTSUS code.

Q: What determines whether a substitute part is acceptable for a specific application?

A: Substitution is determined by matching reverse standoff voltage (90V), package type (P600 axial), mounting method (through hole), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C). Substitute parts with equal or superior power dissipation and peak pulse current ratings are acceptable.

Q: Can the 5KP90CE3/TR13 be used in place of the 15KPA90CA?

A: No. The 5KP90CE3/TR13 has lower peak pulse current (31.3A vs 103.7A) and power dissipation (5kW vs 15kW) ratings. Applications designed for the 15KPA90CA's enhanced protection capability cannot be downgraded to the lower-rated part.
