P4KE130A-B Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The P4KE130A-B is an active Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for general-purpose voltage transient protection applications. This unidirectional zener diode operates with a reverse standoff voltage of 111V and provides clamping at 179V maximum, making it suitable for protecting sensitive electronic circuits from voltage spikes. The component is available in through-hole DO-204AL (DO-41) axial packaging and is ROHS3 compliant. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the original manufacturer's stock is limited, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when supply chain optimization is needed while maintaining identical electrical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P4KE130A-B is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 111V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 124V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 179V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 2.3A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 400W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)
• Package / Case: DO-204AL, DO-41, Axial
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Type: Zener
• Unidirectional Channels: 1

Substitute parts must match all electrical specifications and maintain the same through-hole axial package format. Packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) does not affect electrical equivalence but may impact procurement and assembly workflows.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The P4KE130A manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is an electrical equivalent to the P4KE130A-B. Both components are active products with identical electrical specifications and package formats. The primary distinction is the packaging format: the original part is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for direct substitution in through-hole circuit board applications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements, assembly process compatibility with tape-and-reel automation, and inventory management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the P4KE130A (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) be used as a direct replacement for the P4KE130A-B (Littelfuse Inc.)?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications including reverse standoff voltage (111V), breakdown voltage (124V minimum), clamping voltage (179V maximum), peak pulse current (2.3A), and peak pulse power (400W). Both are packaged in DO-204AL axial through-hole format and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 175°C). The only difference is the packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel).

Q: Does the packaging format difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Bulk or Tape & Reel) does not affect electrical performance or circuit functionality. The difference is relevant only to procurement, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same applications?

A: Yes. Both the P4KE130A-B and P4KE130A are rated for general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications and maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly?

A: The P4KE130A in Tape & Reel format is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. The Bulk-packaged P4KE130A-B requires manual placement or bulk feeder systems. Selection depends on your assembly process capabilities.
