SA26A B0G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA26A B0G is a unidirectional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This component features a 26V reverse standoff voltage with a 53.5V maximum clamping voltage and 12.4A peak pulse current capability in a through-hole DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package format.

The SA26A B0G is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures continued availability for circuit protection applications requiring identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SA26A B0G are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the TVS diode category. The substitution criteria are:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 26V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 28.9V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 53.5V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 12.4A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 500W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Unidirectional Channels: 1

Device Type (Must Match):

• Type: Zener
• Category: Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS)

Parts meeting all these criteria are direct functional equivalents suitable for one-to-one replacement in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SA26A A0G serves as a direct substitute for the discontinued SA26A B0G. Both components are manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation and share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging.

Selection Basis:

The SA26A A0G is the appropriate replacement due to:

• Identical electrical parameters across all critical voltage and current ratings
• Identical mechanical package specification (DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial through-hole)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C)
• Identical compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
• Active product status ensuring continued availability
• Same base product number (SA26) within the SA series

The SA26A A0G maintains full functional equivalence for all general-purpose transient voltage suppression applications previously served by the SA26A B0G.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SA26A A0G be used as a direct replacement for the SA26A B0G?

A: Yes. The SA26A A0G is a direct one-to-one substitute. All electrical parameters, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications are identical between the two parts.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters that define substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility for TVS diodes in this category is determined by: reverse standoff voltage (26V), breakdown voltage (28.9V minimum), clamping voltage (53.5V maximum at Ipp), peak pulse current (12.4A), peak pulse power (500W), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C).

Q: Are the package specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both the SA26A B0G and SA26A A0G use the DO-204AC (DO-15) axial through-hole package format. They are mechanically interchangeable on printed circuit boards.

Q: What is the difference between the SA26A B0G and SA26A A0G?

A: The primary difference is product status. The SA26A B0G is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, while the SA26A A0G maintains active status. All technical specifications are identical.

Q: Are compliance certifications the same?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both.

Q: Can these parts be used in power line protection applications?

A: No. Both the SA26A B0G and SA26A A0G are designated for general-purpose applications only and are not rated for power line protection.
