Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P4SMA5.0CA TR13 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff: 5V (nominal)
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 9.2V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 44.6A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 400W
• Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA
• Type: Zener, Bidirectional (1 channel)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)

The SMAJ5.0CA-13-F from Diodes Incorporated meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, providing direct functional equivalence for the obsolete P4SMA5.0CA TR13.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SMAJ5.0CA-13-F is the direct equivalent for the obsolete P4SMA5.0CA TR13. Selection of this substitute is based on:

• Complete electrical parameter equivalence across all voltage and current specifications
• Identical package and mounting configuration (DO-214AC, SMA surface mount)
• Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (20,300 pcs in stock)
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical operating temperature range and thermal performance characteristics

No design modifications are required when transitioning from the P4SMA5.0CA TR13 to the SMAJ5.0CA-13-F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SMAJ5.0CA-13-F be used as a direct replacement for the P4SMA5.0CA TR13 without circuit modifications?

A: Yes. The SMAJ5.0CA-13-F provides complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. No PCB layout changes or circuit design modifications are necessary.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use the DO-214AC, SMA package with identical surface mount footprints and land patterns.

Q: What is the primary advantage of switching to the SMAJ5.0CA-13-F?

A: The substitute part is in active production with substantial inventory availability, ensuring long-term supply continuity. The original P4SMA5.0CA TR13 is obsolete and subject to supply constraints.

Q: Do the regulatory certifications differ between the two parts?
