SA36CA B0G Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA36CA B0G is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, designed for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications. This component features a 36V reverse standoff voltage with a 58.1V maximum clamping voltage and 9A peak pulse current capability in a through-hole DO-204AC (DO-15) axial package.

The SA36CA B0G is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production, repair, and maintenance applications where this TVS diode is specified.

• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 58.1V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 9A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 500W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct electrical and mechanical equivalents suitable for component replacement in the same application circuit.
