Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the P6KE82CA-TP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 70.1V ± tolerance
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 113V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 5.3A minimum
• Power - Peak Pulse: 600W minimum
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AC or DO-15 (Axial)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 175°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Parts are classified as direct equivalents when all electrical parameters match within specification. Parts with minor variations in peak pulse current (within 2% tolerance) or from different manufacturers using identical base specifications are classified as direct substitutes. Parts with standoff voltage within 0.1V and identical clamping voltage are considered functionally equivalent for general-purpose protection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Identical Electrical Performance):

P6KE82CA (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) and P6KE82CA-E3/54 (Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division) are direct electrical equivalents to the P6KE82CA-TP. Both maintain identical reverse standoff voltage (70.1V), breakdown voltage (77.9V), clamping voltage (113V), and peak pulse current (5.3A). All three parts are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The primary difference is packaging format: P6KE82CA is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while P6KE82CA-TP and P6KE82CA-E3/54 are supplied in Cut Tape format. Selection between these direct equivalents depends on procurement quantity requirements and inventory management practices.

Functionally Equivalent (Minor Parameter Variation):

TP6KE82CA (Littelfuse Inc.) is functionally equivalent with peak pulse current of 5.4A, representing a 1.9% increase over the 5.3A specification. This part maintains identical voltage parameters (70.1V standoff, 113V clamping) and power rating (600W). TP6KE82CA includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and operates within the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 175°C). This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

Similar Performance (Reduced Current Rating):

SA70CA (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) operates with reduced peak pulse current of 4.6A and reduced power dissipation of 500W, compared to the 5.3A and 600W of the main part. Reverse standoff voltage is 70V (0.1V lower) with identical 113V clamping voltage. This part is suitable only for applications where peak pulse current requirements do not exceed 4.6A and power dissipation does not exceed 500W.

All substitute parts maintain active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and through-hole mounting in DO-15/DO-204AC packages compatible with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can P6KE82CA-TP be directly replaced with P6KE82CA?

A: Yes. P6KE82CA from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation is a direct electrical equivalent with identical voltage and current specifications. The difference is packaging format: P6KE82CA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) while P6KE82CA-TP is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). Both are suitable for identical circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between P6KE82CA-E3/54 and P6KE82CA-TP?

A: P6KE82CA-E3/54 (Vishay) and P6KE82CA-TP (Micro Commercial Co) are electrical equivalents with identical voltage and current ratings. Both use DO-15/DO-204AC axial through-hole packages. The difference is manufacturer and packaging format. P6KE82CA-E3/54 is part of the TransZorb® series.

Q: Is TP6KE82CA a suitable replacement for P6KE82CA-TP?

A: TP6KE82CA (Littelfuse) is functionally equivalent with a 1.9% higher peak pulse current (5.4A vs 5.3A) and identical voltage specifications. It is suitable for the same applications and includes AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Selection depends on whether automotive-grade qualification is required.

Q: Can SA70CA replace P6KE82CA-TP in all applications?

A: SA70CA is suitable only for applications where peak pulse current does not exceed 4.6A and power dissipation does not exceed 500W. The standoff voltage is 0.1V lower (70V vs 70.1V) and clamping voltage is identical (113V). Use SA70CA only when application requirements are within these reduced specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (P6KE82CA, P6KE82CA-E3/54, SA70CA, and TP6KE82CA) are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), matching the compliance status of P6KE82CA-TP.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is supplied in individual strips suitable for smaller quantities and manual handling. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous reels suitable for automated assembly equipment and larger production volumes. Electrical performance is identical; selection depends on assembly process and procurement quantity.

Q: Do all substitute parts operate at the same temperature range?

A: P6KE82CA-TP, P6KE82CA-E3/54, SA70CA, and TP6KE82CA all operate from -55°C to 175°C junction temperature. P6KE82CA (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) does not specify operating temperature in the provided data.
