SAC6.0-TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SAC6.0-TP is a unidirectional Zener-type Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Co, designed for general-purpose transient voltage protection applications. This through-hole component features a 6V reverse standoff voltage with an 11.2V maximum clamping voltage and 41A peak pulse current capability. The part is actively produced, ROHS3 compliant, and widely stocked. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SAC6.0-TP are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Reverse standoff voltage: 6V (identical)
• Unidirectional Zener type configuration
• Through-hole axial package (DO-15 / DO-204AC mechanical compatibility)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 175°C
• RoHS3 compliance and active product status
• Peak pulse power rating: 500W

The identified substitutes maintain the same voltage class and package form factor, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility in circuit applications. Variations in clamping voltage (10.3V vs. 11.2V) and peak pulse current (48.5A to 50A vs. 41A) remain within acceptable tolerance ranges for general-purpose transient suppression circuits where the 6V standoff voltage is the primary design criterion.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—SAC6.0-TP, SA6.0A, and SA6.0A-E3/54—are actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection among these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Preferred supplier relationships
• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape)
• Inventory stock levels

The SA6.0A and SA6.0A-E3/54 offer higher peak pulse current ratings (50A and 48.5A respectively) compared to the SAC6.0-TP (41A), providing additional margin in transient suppression applications. The lower clamping voltage of the substitute parts (10.3V vs. 11.2V) represents a tighter voltage regulation characteristic, which may be advantageous in sensitive circuit protection scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SA6.0A be used as a direct replacement for SAC6.0-TP?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical reverse standoff voltage (6V), unidirectional Zener configuration, through-hole axial package (DO-15/DO-204AC), operating temperature range (-55°C to 175°C), and 500W peak pulse power rating. The SA6.0A exhibits higher peak pulse current (50A vs. 41A) and lower clamping voltage (10.3V vs. 11.2V), making it functionally compatible for general-purpose transient suppression applications.

Q: What is the difference between SA6.0A and SA6.0A-E3/54?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical voltage ratings and operating temperature ranges. The primary differences are manufacturer (Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation vs. Vishay), packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and peak pulse current specification (50A vs. 48.5A). Selection depends on supplier availability and packaging requirements.

Q: Are there any package compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three parts use the same DO-15/DO-204AC axial through-hole package, ensuring mechanical and pin compatibility on printed circuit boards. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. SAC6.0-TP, SA6.0A, and SA6.0A-E3/54 are all ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. All parts carry HTSUS code 8541.10.0080 and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: All three parts are actively produced and suitable for new designs. Selection should prioritize supplier availability, lead time, and cost considerations. The substitute parts (SA6.0A and SA6.0A-E3/54) offer improved current handling capability and may provide additional design margin in transient protection circuits.
