PTVS10-076C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PTVS10-076C is a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Bourns Inc., designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This component features a 76V reverse standoff voltage with 160V maximum clamping voltage and 10kA peak pulse current capability in an axial through-hole package. The PTVS10-076C is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PTVS10-076C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff: 76V (Max)
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 85V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 10000A (10kA) (8/20µs)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Axial, Right Angle Bend (24.15mm Center)
• Series: PTVS (Bourns Inc.)

The PTVS10-076C-TH qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, peak pulse current rating, mounting type, and package configuration. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for these core parameters, enabling direct replacement in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PTVS10-076C-TH is the qualified substitute for the obsolete PTVS10-076C. Selection of the PTVS10-076C-TH is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• ROHS3 compliance maintained across both components
• Identical reverse standoff voltage (76V Max) and breakdown voltage (85V Min) specifications
• Matching peak pulse current rating (10kA) and through-hole axial package configuration
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) provides broader thermal operating envelope compared to the original part (-40°C to 125°C)
• Clamping voltage differential (140V vs. 160V) represents a 12.5% reduction; circuit validation is required to confirm acceptability within specific application requirements

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PTVS10-076C-TH be used as a direct replacement for PTVS10-076C?

A: Yes. Both components share identical reverse standoff voltage, breakdown voltage, peak pulse current rating, and axial through-hole package configuration. The PTVS10-076C-TH is the active substitute for the obsolete PTVS10-076C.

Q: What is the difference in clamping voltage between these parts?

A: The PTVS10-076C specifies 160V maximum clamping voltage, while the PTVS10-076C-TH specifies 140V maximum clamping voltage. This 20V difference must be evaluated against circuit protection requirements and load specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both PTVS10-076C and PTVS10-076C-TH are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The PTVS10-076C operates from -40°C to 125°C (TJ). The PTVS10-076C-TH operates from -55°C to 125°C (TJ), providing a 15°C lower temperature limit.

Q: Are the packages identical?

A: Yes. Both components use axial through-hole packages with right-angle bend configuration and 24.15mm center spacing.

Q: Why is the PTVS10-076C marked as obsolete?

A: The PTVS10-076C is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The PTVS10-076C-TH is the active product offering from Bourns Inc. for this voltage and current rating class.
