SAC10-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SAC10-TP is a unidirectional Zener-type transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose transient voltage protection in through-hole applications. The device features a 10V reverse standoff voltage with a 16.3V maximum clamping voltage at peak pulse current, housed in a DO-15 axial package. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity for applications requiring identical or functionally compatible TVS protection characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SAC10-TP are classified based on electrical parameter compatibility and package equivalence. The substitution logic is determined by the following criteria:

Direct Substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 10V reverse standoff voltage, 11.1V minimum breakdown voltage, 16.3V maximum clamping voltage, 29A peak pulse current, and 500W peak pulse power. These parts are functionally interchangeable in the same circuit application and mounting configuration.

Similar Substitutes share the same reverse standoff voltage (10V) and breakdown voltage (11.1V) but exhibit minor variations in clamping voltage (17V maximum) and peak pulse current (30A). These parts provide equivalent transient suppression performance within the specified voltage window and are suitable for applications where the slightly higher clamping voltage and current rating do not create design conflicts.

All substitute parts maintain the same through-hole mounting type, DO-15 axial package configuration, Zener diode type, and single unidirectional channel architecture. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C) and RoHS3 compliance are consistent across all listed parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (SAC10, SAC10-E3/54): These parts are electrically and mechanically identical to the SAC10-TP and provide full interchangeability. Both maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these direct substitutes is based on packaging format availability (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) and supplier inventory status rather than electrical performance.

Similar Substitute (SA10A): The SA10A provides functional equivalence with a 0.7V higher clamping voltage (17V vs. 16.3V) and 1A higher peak pulse current (30A vs. 29A). This part is suitable for applications where the increased voltage and current margins do not conflict with circuit design constraints. The SA10A maintains identical reverse standoff and breakdown voltages, ensuring proper transient suppression initiation at the same threshold as the primary part.

All listed substitutes maintain active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection should prioritize parts with confirmed inventory availability and established supply chain relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SAC10 and SAC10-E3/54 be used interchangeably with SAC10-TP?

A: Yes. SAC10 and SAC10-E3/54 are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents with identical voltage ratings (10V standoff, 16.3V clamping), current ratings (29A peak pulse), and package configuration (DO-15 axial). The primary difference is packaging format: SAC10-TP is supplied in Tape & Reel, while SAC10 is supplied in Cut Tape and SAC10-E3/54 is supplied in Cut Tape. All three parts are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: Is SA10A a suitable substitute for SAC10-TP?

A: SA10A is a functional substitute with minor electrical variations. It maintains the same 10V reverse standoff and 11.1V breakdown voltage, ensuring proper transient suppression activation. However, SA10A has a 17V maximum clamping voltage (0.7V higher) and 30A peak pulse current (1A higher) compared to SAC10-TP. This part is suitable for applications where the increased voltage and current ratings do not create design conflicts or overvoltage conditions at the protected circuit node.

Q: What is the difference between DO-15 and DO-204AC package designations?

A: DO-15 and DO-204AC refer to the same axial through-hole package configuration. DO-204AC is the formal JEDEC designation, while DO-15 is the legacy industry designation. Both terms describe an identical physical package with axial leads suitable for through-hole PCB mounting. Parts specified with either designation are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. SAC10-TP, SAC10, SAC10-E3/54, and SA10A are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive requirements. This compliance status is consistent across all listed parts.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for SAC10-TP?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by matching the following parameters: reverse standoff voltage (10V), breakdown voltage (11.1V minimum), package type (DO-15 axial through-hole), diode type (Zener), and channel configuration (unidirectional). Clamping voltage and peak pulse current may vary within acceptable design margins. All substitute parts listed maintain these core compatibility criteria.
