Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MP6KE82AE3 are identified based on electrical parameter compatibility within the transient voltage suppressor category. The primary substitution criterion is functional equivalence across the following key parameters: reverse standoff voltage (70.1V typical), breakdown voltage minimum (77.9V), clamping voltage maximum at peak pulse current (113V), and peak pulse current rating (5.3A at 10/1000µs waveform). Mechanical compatibility is maintained through identical through-hole mounting configuration and T-18 axial package specification. The substitute part P6KE82A from Fairchild Semiconductor shares the base product designation P6KE82, indicating electrical parameter alignment within the TVS diode classification. Both parts are classified under HTSUS code 8541.10.0080 and ECCN EAR99, confirming regulatory equivalence for general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MP6KE82AE3 and P6KE82A are active products suitable for general-purpose transient voltage suppression. The MP6KE82AE3 carries military qualification under MIL-PRF-19500 and is RoHS non-compliant, whereas the P6KE82A status regarding military qualification and RoHS compliance is not specified in available data. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific compliance requirements. The MP6KE82AE3 is appropriate for applications requiring military-grade qualification and extended temperature operation from -65°C to 150°C. The P6KE82A serves as an electrical equivalent for standard industrial applications where military qualification is not mandated. Both devices share identical electrical parameters for voltage clamping, peak pulse current, and power dissipation, and both employ the same through-hole T-18 axial package configuration, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in circuit board layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P6KE82A directly replace the MP6KE82AE3 in all applications?

A: The P6KE82A provides electrical equivalence in voltage clamping, breakdown voltage, and peak pulse current specifications. Direct replacement is applicable for general-purpose transient voltage suppression. However, applications requiring MIL-PRF-19500 military qualification must retain the MP6KE82AE3, as military certification status for the P6KE82A is not documented.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both the MP6KE82AE3 and P6KE82A utilize identical T-18 axial through-hole packaging. No modifications to circuit board layout, footprint, or mounting procedures are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What electrical parameters must remain constant for substitution?

A: Substitution validity depends on maintaining the following parameters: reverse standoff voltage of 70.1V typical, breakdown voltage minimum of 77.9V, clamping voltage maximum of 113V at peak pulse current, and peak pulse current rating of 5.3A. Deviation from these specifications requires re-evaluation of circuit compatibility.

Q: Do both parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: The MP6KE82AE3 operates from -65°C to 150°C junction temperature. Operating temperature specifications for the P6KE82A are not provided in available documentation. Applications requiring extended low-temperature operation below standard industrial ranges should verify P6KE82A temperature ratings with the manufacturer.

Q: Are there regulatory or compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications. The MP6KE82AE3 is RoHS non-compliant and carries MIL-PRF-19500 qualification. RoHS compliance and military qualification status for the P6KE82A require verification against current manufacturer documentation.
