Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SA6.0CA B0G are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TVS diode category. The substitution criteria are strictly limited to the following parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 6V
• Voltage - Breakdown (Min): 6.67V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 10.3V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): 50A
• Power - Peak Pulse: 500W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C (TJ)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AC, DO-15, Axial
• Type: Zener
• Bidirectional Channels: 1

Parts meeting all these electrical and mechanical specifications are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign.
