Vishay Cera-Mite 30LVS15-320I-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Vishay Cera-Mite 30LVS15-320I-R is a 0.015 µF ceramic capacitor rated for 400VAC with Y5U temperature coefficient, designed for safety-critical applications. This part carries an obsolete product status, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. The radial disc configuration with straight leads supports through-hole mounting in legacy and current circuit designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 30LVS15-320I-R is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish valid substitutes:

• Capacitance value: 0.015 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 400VAC (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: Y5U (E) (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Safety ratings: X1, Y2 (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial Disc (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.374" (9.50mm) (exact match required)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The substitute parts 30LVS15-R and 30LVS15JB-R meet all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Both are active products within the Cera-Mite 30LVS series, providing continuity for applications currently using the obsolete 30LVS15-320I-R.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 30LVS15-R and 30LVS15JB-R are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the obsolete 30LVS15-320I-R. Selection between these active substitutes should be based on packaging availability and procurement logistics:

• 30LVS15-R: Available in bulk packaging with 1300 pcs in stock
• 30LVS15JB-R: Available in bulk packaging with 970 pcs in stock

Both parts maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The transition from the obsolete 30LVS15-320I-R to either active substitute presents no electrical or mechanical compatibility concerns for safety-rated applications requiring X1, Y2 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 30LVS15-R or 30LVS15JB-R be used as direct replacements for 30LVS15-320I-R?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical capacitance, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, safety ratings, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between 30LVS15-R and 30LVS15JB-R?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference lies in packaging designation and inventory availability. Selection can be based on procurement requirements and stock levels.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. The main part and both substitutes share the same radial disc package with 0.902" diameter, 1.028" maximum seated height, and 0.374" lead spacing. Through-hole mounting compatibility is maintained across all variants.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same safety certifications?

A: Yes. All three parts carry X1, Y2 safety ratings and are designated for safety-critical applications. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are consistent across the main part and substitutes.

Q: Why is the main part obsolete while substitutes remain active?

A: The 30LVS15-320I-R has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The 30LVS15-R and 30LVS15JB-R represent the active product line continuation within the Cera-Mite 30LVS series, offering the same performance characteristics with ongoing availability.
