Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute selection for Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) requires strict matching across key electrical and mechanical parameters:

  • Voltage ratings: Reverse standoff, breakdown, and clamping voltages
  • Peak pulse current and power ratings
  • Compliance with automotive grade and AEC-Q101 qualifications
  • Mounting type and package/case compatibility
  • Environmental and safety certifications (RoHS, MSL)

Only the parts that match or exceed these explicit parameters are considered substitutes. The listed parameters are strictly derived from the provided inputs.
