CD214A-T60CALF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CD214A-T60CALF is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Bourns Inc., designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection in surface-mount applications. This component features a 60V reverse standoff voltage with 96.8V maximum clamping voltage and 4.1A peak pulse current capability in a DO-214AC (SMA) package. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CD214A-T60CALF is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TVS diode category. The critical parameters that define substitutability are:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 60V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 96.8V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 4.1A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 400W
• Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Type: Zener, Bidirectional, 1 Channel

Substitute Categories:

Direct Equivalents match all primary electrical parameters and package specifications. These parts are functionally interchangeable with the original component.

Similar Alternatives share the same package and mounting type but differ in voltage ratings or peak pulse current. These parts are suitable only when the application circuit can accommodate the different electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Substitutes (60V Rating):

SMAJ60CA (MDD), SMAJ60CA-TP (Micro Commercial Co), and TV04A600JB-HF (Comchip Technology) are direct electrical equivalents to the CD214A-T60CALF. All three parts maintain identical voltage ratings (60V reverse standoff, 96.8V clamping), peak pulse current (4.1A nominal), and power dissipation (400W). All are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. SMAJ60CA-TP offers extended operating temperature range to 175°C and highest inventory availability (104,544 units). Selection among these three should be based on supply chain availability and lead time requirements.

Similar Alternative Substitutes (51V Rating):

SMAJ51CA-M3/61 (Vishay General Semiconductor) and SMAJ51CA-TP (Micro Commercial Co) are similar alternatives with lower voltage ratings (51V reverse standoff, 82.4V clamping) and higher peak pulse current (4.9A). These parts are suitable only for applications where the circuit design can accommodate the reduced voltage protection threshold. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance. SMAJ51CA-TP provides extended temperature range to 175°C.

All substitute parts are surface-mount components in DO-214AC (SMA) package, compatible with existing PCB layouts designed for the original CD214A-T60CALF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SMAJ60CA-TP be used as a direct replacement for CD214A-T60CALF?

A: Yes. SMAJ60CA-TP is a direct electrical equivalent with matching 60V reverse standoff voltage, 96.8V clamping voltage, 4.1A peak pulse current, and DO-214AC (SMA) package. The part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and offers extended operating temperature range to 175°C.

Q: What is the difference between the 60V and 51V rated substitutes?

A: The 60V rated parts (SMAJ60CA, SMAJ60CA-TP, TV04A600JB-HF) maintain identical electrical specifications to the original CD214A-T60CALF. The 51V rated parts (SMAJ51CA-M3/61, SMAJ51CA-TP) have lower voltage protection thresholds and higher peak pulse current (4.9A vs 4.1A). Use 51V parts only if circuit design permits lower protection voltage.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part's environmental specifications.

Q: Does package compatibility affect substitution?

A: No. All substitute parts use the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package, identical to the original CD214A-T60CALF. PCB layouts and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: SMAJ60CA-TP (Micro Commercial Co) has the highest inventory level at 104,544 units in stock, providing optimal supply chain reliability for production requirements.

Q: Can operating temperature range differences affect part selection?

A: Operating temperature range should be evaluated against application requirements. SMAJ60CA-TP and SMAJ51CA-TP offer extended range to 175°C, while other substitutes are rated to 150°C. Select based on thermal environment specifications of the end application.
