Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ROV07-201K is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Varistor Voltage Range: Nominal voltage must remain 200V (acceptable range: 185V to 225V minimum/maximum)
  • Surge Current Rating: Minimum 1.2kA required for equivalent protection
  • Voltage Ratings: Maximum DC volts of 170V and maximum AC volts of 130V must be maintained
  • Mounting Configuration: Through-hole disc package required
  • Circuit Count: Single circuit configuration
  • Compliance: RoHS3 compliance required

The ERZ-V07D201 meets these substitution criteria with compatible electrical characteristics and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERZ-V07D201 is a direct functional substitute for the ROV07-201K based on the following criteria:

  • Both components maintain identical nominal varistor voltage of 200V within acceptable tolerance ranges
  • Both meet maximum DC and AC voltage specifications of 170V and 130V respectively
  • The ERZ-V07D201 provides higher surge current capability (1.75kA versus 1.2kA) and greater energy absorption (17.5J versus 14.3J), offering enhanced transient protection margins
  • Both components are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
  • The ERZ-V07D201 holds active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity
  • Both utilize identical through-hole mounting configuration with single-circuit design

The primary design consideration is the reduced upper operating temperature limit of the ERZ-V07D201 (85°C versus 125°C). Applications requiring sustained operation above 85°C ambient temperature require thermal analysis to confirm compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERZ-V07D201 be used as a direct replacement for the ROV07-201K?

A: Yes. Both components share identical nominal varistor voltage (200V), maximum DC/AC voltage ratings (170V/130V), and through-hole disc mounting configuration. The ERZ-V07D201 provides higher surge current and energy ratings, making it functionally equivalent or superior for transient suppression applications.

Q: What is the key difference between these two parts?

A: The ERZ-V07D201 offers 1.75kA surge current and 17.5J energy absorption compared to the ROV07-201K's 1.2kA and 14.3J. The ERZ-V07D201 has a lower maximum operating temperature (85°C versus 125°C). The ERZ-V07D201 is actively manufactured, while the ROV07-201K is obsolete.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns?

A: The ROV07-201K uses a 7mm disc package, while the ERZ-V07D201 uses an 8.5mm disc package. Both are through-hole mounted. PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical fit within the available board space.

Q: Does the higher surge current rating of the ERZ-V07D201 affect circuit performance?

A: No. Higher surge current capability provides additional protection margin without affecting normal circuit operation. The identical nominal varistor voltage ensures consistent voltage clamping behavior.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
