SA10A-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA10A-TP is a unidirectional Zener transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This through-hole component operates across a wide temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) and is RoHS3 compliant. The part is currently in active production status with 845 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility needs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SA10A-TP are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The primary substitution criteria are:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 10V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 11.1V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 17V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 30A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 500W
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial
• Type: Zener
• Unidirectional Channels: 1
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required

The SA10A manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation meets all specified electrical parameters and mechanical requirements, making it a direct functional equivalent for the SA10A-TP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SA10A-TP and SA10A are active production components with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements. The SA10A (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation) currently has higher inventory availability (2236 units) compared to the SA10A-TP (845 units). Both parts meet identical electrical specifications and are housed in compatible through-hole packages suitable for axial mounting on PCBs. No performance trade-offs exist between these alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA10A be used as a direct replacement for SA10A-TP?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, with matching voltage ratings (10V standoff, 17V clamping), current handling (30A peak pulse), and power dissipation (500W). Both use the same DO-204AC/DO-15 axial through-hole package and operate across -55°C to 175°C.

Q: Are there any package compatibility issues between SA10A-TP and SA10A?

A: No. Both components use the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package format, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in through-hole PCB applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SA10A-TP and SA10A are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is manufacturer: SA10A-TP is manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, while SA10A is manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation. Electrical specifications and package formats are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should consider current inventory levels, supplier lead times, and procurement preferences. Both parts are in active production with equivalent long-term availability.
