Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 30LVS15-V-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.015 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage rating: 400VAC
• Temperature coefficient: Y5U (E)
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 125°C
• Safety ratings: X1, Y2
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial Disc
• Physical dimensions: 0.902" Dia, 1.028" Height, 0.374" Lead Spacing
• Lead style: Straight
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

The substitute parts 30LVS15-R and 30LVS15JB-R meet all these criteria and are direct functional equivalents. Packaging differences (Bulk vs. Tape/Reel) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 30LVS15-R and 30LVS15JB-R are qualified substitutes for the obsolete 30LVS15-V-R. Selection between these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

30LVS15-R: This part maintains active product status with 1300 pieces in stock inventory. It is suitable for applications requiring standard bulk packaging and represents the primary substitute option.

30LVS15JB-R: This part also maintains active product status with 970 pieces in stock inventory. It is suitable for applications where the specific packaging designation is required.

Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). The choice between them depends on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than technical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (0.015 µF), voltage rating (400VAC), temperature coefficient (Y5U), operating temperature range (-30°C to 125°C), physical dimensions, and safety ratings (X1, Y2). They are suitable for direct substitution in through-hole applications.

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

A: The parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference lies in packaging designation. Both are available in bulk packaging and maintain active product status. Selection should be based on specific packaging requirements and inventory availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts carry identical compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited). They are suitable for safety-critical applications with X1, Y2 ratings.

Q: What are the physical compatibility requirements for substitution?

A: The substitute parts maintain identical through-hole mounting configuration with 0.374" (9.50mm) lead spacing, 0.902" diameter, and 1.028" maximum seated height. They are mechanically compatible with PCB layouts designed for the original 30LVS15-V-R.

Q: Why is the original 30LVS15-V-R classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The active substitute parts 30LVS15-R and 30LVS15JB-R provide continued access to equivalent functionality for ongoing production and maintenance applications.
