ESDLC5V0AE3-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESDLC5V0AE3-TP is a bidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection in surface mount applications. This component features a 5V reverse standoff voltage with 12V maximum clamping voltage and 2A peak pulse current capability in a compact 0201 package. The part is currently listed as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ESDLC5V0AE3-TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff: 5V nominal
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 12V maximum
• Current - Peak Pulse (8/20µs): 2A minimum
• Package / Case: 0201 surface mount
• Type: Zener bidirectional TVS diode
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The ESDULC5V0AE2-TP meets the core voltage and package requirements but operates at reduced peak pulse current (1A versus 2A) and lower maximum clamping voltage (11V versus 12V). This substitute is suitable for applications where the lower current and voltage specifications remain within design tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ESDULC5V0AE2-TP is the identified substitute for the obsolete ESDLC5V0AE3-TP. Both components are manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (964 pcs), whereas the main part is obsolete with limited stock (750 pcs).

Selection of the ESDULC5V0AE2-TP requires verification that the application tolerates the reduced peak pulse current specification (1A versus 2A) and the 1V reduction in maximum clamping voltage (11V versus 12V). The operating temperature range of the substitute extends to 125°C maximum junction temperature, compared to 150°C for the main part. Both components share identical package geometry (0201) and mounting methodology, enabling direct physical substitution on printed circuit boards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ESDULC5V0AE2-TP directly replace the ESDLC5V0AE3-TP in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application design accommodates the reduced peak pulse current (1A maximum versus 2A) and the lower clamping voltage (11V versus 12V). Circuit analysis must confirm that transient energy levels remain within the substitute part's power dissipation capability.

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

A: The main differences are peak pulse current rating (2A versus 1A), maximum clamping voltage (12V versus 11V), and maximum operating junction temperature (150°C versus 125°C). Both maintain identical reverse standoff voltage (5V) and package form factor (0201).

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: Both parts use 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount packaging. The main part is supplied in standard packaging, while the substitute is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Physical dimensions and PCB footprints are identical.

Q: What is the compliance status of the substitute part?

A: The ESDULC5V0AE2-TP is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the environmental compliance requirements of the obsolete main part.

Q: Should operating temperature range differences affect the selection decision?

A: The substitute part's maximum junction temperature of 125°C versus the main part's 150°C must be evaluated against the thermal environment of the application. If sustained junction temperatures exceed 125°C in the intended circuit, the substitute is not suitable.
