TC650CGVUATR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TC650CGVUATR is an active-low thermostat temperature sensor manufactured by Microchip Technology, designed for thermal management and fan control applications. This device monitors temperature and triggers output signals when the 65°C switching threshold is reached. The part is currently in active production status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Substitute parts are identified when packaging or supply chain requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of TC650CGVUATR is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Switching temperature threshold: 65°C
• Output configuration: Active Low with /Fault, /OverTemp, PWM functions
• Supply voltage range: 2.8 V ~ 5.5 V
• Accuracy specification: ±3°C
• Package footprint: 8-MSOP (0.118", 3.00mm Width)
• Mounting technology: Surface Mount
• Base product series: TC650

The TC650CGVUA qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package footprint. The only difference is packaging format: TC650CGVUATR is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while TC650CGVUA is supplied in Tube format. Both parts share the same device package designation (8-MSOP) and are manufactured by Microchip Technology under the same base product number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TC650CGVUATR and TC650CGVUA are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements:

• TC650CGVUATR in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes
• TC650CGVUA in Tube format is suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly workflows

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. No functional or performance differences exist between these devices. The choice between them depends solely on procurement logistics and assembly methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TC650CGVUA be used as a direct replacement for TC650CGVUATR?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tube versus Tape & Reel). PCB footprint, pin configuration, and all electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical switching temperature (65°C), accuracy (±3°C), supply voltage range (2.8 V ~ 5.5 V), and output characteristics (Active Low with /Fault, /OverTemp, PWM functions).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly at high volumes. Tube packaging is used for manual handling or lower-volume assembly. The device itself is unchanged.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both TC650CGVUATR and TC650CGVUA are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts use the same 8-MSOP package footprint (0.118", 3.00mm Width) and surface mount technology. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 125°C. The switching threshold is fixed at 65°C regardless of ambient temperature within this range.
