SA6.0CA-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SA6.0CA-TP is a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose overvoltage protection applications. This through-hole component operates with a 6V reverse standoff voltage and provides 10.3V maximum clamping voltage at peak pulse current. The part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic designs requiring transient voltage suppression in the 6V protection range.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when components share identical electrical performance parameters within the allowed tolerance specifications for this TVS diode category, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for TVS diodes is determined by matching the following critical electrical parameters:

• Voltage - Reverse Standoff (Typ): 6V
• Voltage - Clamping (Max) @ Ipp: 10.3V
• Current - Peak Pulse (10/1000µs): within acceptable range (49.5A to 50A)
• Power - Peak Pulse: 500W
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 175°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: DO-204AC or DO-15 equivalent
• Type: Zener
• Bidirectional Channels: 1

The SA6.0CA manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation meets all substitution criteria, with peak pulse current specified at 50A, representing a 0.5A variance within acceptable engineering tolerance for this component class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SA6.0CA-TP and SA6.0CA are active production components with identical ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: SA6.0CA offers significantly higher inventory (300,200 pcs) compared to SA6.0CA-TP (895 pcs)
• Packaging preference: Both support DO-204AC and DO-15 package formats for through-hole mounting
• Manufacturer preference: Micro Commercial Co (SA6.0CA-TP) or Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation (SA6.0CA)
• Peak pulse current specification: SA6.0CA specifies 50A versus SA6.0CA-TP at 49.5A, both meeting the 6V/10.3V protection requirement

No additional testing or verification is required for substitution, as electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent within standard engineering tolerances for this TVS diode category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage ratings (6V standoff, 10.3V clamping), power dissipation (500W peak pulse), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and through-hole DO-15/DO-204AC packaging. Peak pulse current differs by 0.5A (49.5A vs 50A), which is within acceptable tolerance for this component class.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use DO-204AC (DO-15) axial through-hole packages, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility on PCBs designed for either component.

Q: Do compliance certifications differ between these parts?

A: No. Both SA6.0CA-TP and SA6.0CA are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for TVS diodes?

A: Substitution is valid when reverse standoff voltage, clamping voltage, peak pulse current, power rating, operating temperature range, mounting type, and package format are equivalent. Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Is the 0.5A difference in peak pulse current significant?

A: No. The 0.5A variance (49.5A to 50A) represents a 1% difference and falls within standard engineering tolerance for TVS diode specifications in this voltage class.
