Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 20VLD90-V-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 9000 pF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage rating: 400VAC
• Temperature coefficient: Y5V (F)
• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 125°C
• Package configuration: Radial, Disc
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Lead spacing: 0.374" (9.50mm)
• Safety ratings: X2 classification

The substitute part 20VLD90-R meets all these criteria and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 20VLD90-R is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete 20VLD90-V-R. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay within the Cera-Mite 20VL series and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and safety certifications. The primary distinction is product status: the 20VLD90-R maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for safety-critical applications. The X2 safety rating classification is maintained across both variants, confirming suitability for the intended application domain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 20VLD90-R be used as a direct replacement for the 20VLD90-V-R?

A: Yes. The 20VLD90-R is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. All electrical and mechanical specifications match the original part.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The 20VLD90-V-R is obsolete, while the 20VLD90-R is active. The "-V-" designation in the original part number does not indicate a functional difference; it reflects packaging or distribution channel coding. Both parts are from the same manufacturer series.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and X2 safety ratings. They are suitable for the same safety-critical applications.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The main part is specified with "-" packaging notation, while the substitute is listed as Bulk. Both use identical radial disc through-hole packages with 0.374" lead spacing. Packaging designation reflects distribution format, not component construction.

Q: What is the lead spacing tolerance, and does it affect PCB compatibility?

A: Lead spacing is 0.374" (9.50mm) for both parts. This dimension is fixed and identical between the two variants, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 20VLD90-R provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 20VLD90-V-R. No circuit modifications or PCB redesign is required for substitution.
