SA6.0A-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA6.0A-TP is a unidirectional Zener-type transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This through-hole component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 175°C and is RoHS3 compliant. The part is currently in active production status with 834 units available in stock. Substitute parts are identified when electrical characteristics and mechanical compatibility align with the original specification, enabling seamless integration into existing designs without circuit modification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SA6.0A-TP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 6V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 6.67V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 10.3V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 49.5A minimum
• Power - Peak Pulse: 500W
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AC or DO-15 axial configuration
• Type: Zener, Unidirectional (1 channel)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 175°C minimum

The SA6.0A manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation meets all substitution criteria, with peak pulse current rated at 50A, which exceeds the minimum 49.5A requirement. Both parts share identical voltage specifications, power ratings, and thermal operating ranges.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SA6.0A-TP and SA6.0A are active production components with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements. The SA6.0A from Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation offers higher inventory availability (60,100 units) compared to the SA6.0A-TP (834 units), while maintaining identical electrical performance and regulatory compliance. Peak pulse current specification of the SA6.0A (50A) provides a 0.5A margin above the SA6.0A-TP (49.5A), ensuring equivalent or superior performance in transient suppression applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA6.0A replace SA6.0A-TP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically equivalent across all critical parameters: 6V reverse standoff voltage, 10.3V clamping voltage, 500W peak pulse power, and -55°C to 175°C operating temperature range. Both use identical DO-15 axial through-hole packaging.

Q: What is the difference in peak pulse current between these parts?

A: The SA6.0A-TP is rated at 49.5A peak pulse current, while the SA6.0A is rated at 50A. This 0.5A difference represents a margin and does not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there packaging differences between SA6.0A-TP and SA6.0A?

A: Both parts use DO-204AC (DO-15) axial through-hole packaging. The SA6.0A-TP is supplied in Tape & Reel format, as is the SA6.0A. No mechanical modification is required for substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both SA6.0A-TP and SA6.0A are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0080) classifications.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for SA6.0A-TP?

A: Substitution requires matching voltage specifications (6V standoff, 6.67V breakdown minimum, 10.3V clamping maximum), peak pulse current of 49.5A or higher, 500W peak pulse power, through-hole mounting, DO-15 packaging, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C minimum.
