• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 5V (Max)
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 12V
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package compatibility: SOT-563 or SOT-666

Acceptable Parameter Variations:

• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): Range 6.2V to 6.4V
• Current - Peak Pulse: Equal to or greater than 1.6A
• Power - Peak Pulse: Equal to or greater than 20W
• Capacitance @ 1MHz: Up to 16pF
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal to or wider than -55°C ~ 150°C
• RoHS and MSL compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1

The PESD5V0L5UV,125 from Nexperia USA Inc. meets all critical substitution criteria and is qualified as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PESD5V0L5UV,125 is a qualified substitute for the ESDLC5V0M5-TP based on the following engineering factors:

Electrical Equivalence: Both devices maintain identical voltage specifications (5V reverse standoff, 12V clamping), identical channel configuration (5 unidirectional), and identical functional classification as general-purpose TVS diodes. The PESD5V0L5UV,125 provides higher current and power ratings (2.5A and 25W versus 1.6A and 20W), which ensures performance margin in the application.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements. Both maintain REACH Unaffected status and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Package Compatibility: While the ESDLC5V0M5-TP is supplied in SOT-563 and the PESD5V0L5UV,125 is supplied in SOT-666, both package types are listed as compatible for each device. PCB layout and footprint verification is required to confirm mechanical fit.

Product Status Consideration: The ESDLC5V0M5-TP is classified as Obsolete, while the PESD5V0L5UV,125 is classified as Not For New Designs. For ongoing support of existing designs, the PESD5V0L5UV,125 provides continued availability with equivalent electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PESD5V0L5UV,125 be used as a direct replacement for the ESDLC5V0M5-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes, the PESD5V0L5UV,125 meets all critical electrical parameters (5V reverse standoff, 12V clamping voltage, 5 unidirectional channels) and maintains identical compliance certifications. Package compatibility must be verified; the PESD5V0L5UV,125 is supplied in SOT-666 while the original is SOT-563, though both packages are supported by each device specification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Micro Commercial Co versus Nexperia USA Inc.), current rating (1.6A versus 2.5A), power rating (20W versus 25W), capacitance (10pF versus 16pF), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C versus -65°C to 150°C). The PESD5V0L5UV,125 provides higher performance margins in current and power handling.

Q: Are there package considerations when substituting these parts?

A: Yes. The ESDLC5V0M5-TP is supplied in SOT-563 package, while the PESD5V0L5UV,125 is supplied in SOT-666 package. Both packages are mechanically and electrically compatible with the device specifications, but PCB footprint and layout must be verified for physical fit before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference (Obsolete versus Not For New Designs)?

A: The ESDLC5V0M5-TP is Obsolete, indicating no further manufacturing or support. The PESD5V0L5UV,125 is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating limited availability but continued support for existing applications. For designs requiring ongoing component availability, the PESD5V0L5UV,125 is the preferred choice.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and certification requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited), REACH Unaffected, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory and handling requirements.
