Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the CDWBS16-PLC01-6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 6V (Max)
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 8V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 16V or lower
• Power - Peak Pulse: 1500W (1.5kW)
• Package / Case: 16-SOIC compatible footprint
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C minimum to 150°C maximum
• Capacitance @ Frequency: 50pF @ 1MHz

The LC01-6.TDT from Semtech meets the core electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution. Both devices share identical reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, peak pulse power rating, package footprint, and capacitance specifications. The clamping voltage of the substitute (15V) is within acceptable tolerance relative to the original (16V), and both operate across compatible temperature ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LC01-6.TDT is a direct substitute for the obsolete CDWBS16-PLC01-6. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance. The substitute part is currently in active production status, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability.

The primary design consideration is the operating temperature range. The CDWBS16-PLC01-6 operates to 150°C, while the LC01-6.TDT operates to 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 125°C junction temperature must evaluate thermal management or alternative solutions. For standard telecom and Ethernet protection applications operating within the 125°C limit, the LC01-6.TDT provides equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LC01-6.TDT replace the CDWBS16-PLC01-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the 125°C junction temperature limit. Both devices share identical reverse standoff voltage (6V), breakdown voltage (8V), peak pulse power (1500W), package footprint (16-SOIC), and capacitance (50pF @ 1MHz). The clamping voltage difference (15V vs. 16V) is within acceptable tolerance for transient suppression applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The maximum operating junction temperature differs. The CDWBS16-PLC01-6 operates to 150°C, while the LC01-6.TDT operates to 125°C. Additionally, the CDWBS16-PLC01-6 is obsolete, whereas the LC01-6.TDT is in active production.

Q: Are the packages mechanically compatible?

A: Yes. Both devices use 16-SOIC packaging with identical footprint dimensions (0.295", 7.50mm width). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the CDWBS16-PLC01-6 and LC01-6.TDT are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.10.0080.

Q: What applications are these parts suitable for?

A: The CDWBS16-PLC01-6 is specified for Ethernet and telecom applications. The LC01-6.TDT is specified for telecom applications. Both provide transient voltage suppression in these domains.
