Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for TVS diodes is determined by electrical parameter equivalence within specified tolerances and mechanical compatibility. The primary substitute for the P4SMA8.0CA TR13 is the SMAJ8.0CA-13-F manufactured by Diodes Incorporated.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters match or exceed the original specification:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 8V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 8.89V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 13.6V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 29.4A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 400W
• Package / Case: DO-214AC, SMA
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (TJ)

The SMAJ8.0CA-13-F meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product with current manufacturing support and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SMAJ8.0CA-13-F is the direct equivalent substitute for the P4SMA8.0CA TR13. Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status with ongoing manufacturing and supply availability
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Equivalent packaging and thermal characteristics
• Identical moisture sensitivity classification and export control designation

The transition from the obsolete P4SMA8.0CA TR13 to the SMAJ8.0CA-13-F requires no circuit modifications or design changes, as all functional and mechanical parameters are equivalent.
