Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V07E230P qualifies as a direct substitute based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Substitution is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Varistor Voltage Rating: Both parts maintain identical nominal voltage of 360 V (Min: 324 V, Max: 396 V)
• Surge Current Capacity: Both rated at 1.75 kA
• Energy Dissipation: Both rated at 20 J
• Mounting Configuration: Both are through-hole mounted
• Physical Form Factor: Both use 7mm disc packaging
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate from -55°C to 85°C
• Electrical Specifications: Maximum AC and DC voltage ratings are identical (230 V AC, 300 V DC)
• Capacitance Characteristics: Both measure 100 pF @ 1 MHz

The V07E230P differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging designation (Bulk vs. standard), with no impact on electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V07E230P is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete V07E230. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. within the same UltraMOV™ series and maintain complete electrical and mechanical equivalence across all specified parameters.

The V07E230P carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8533.40.4000), confirming compatibility in regulated applications.

The transition from V07E230 to V07E230P requires no circuit redesign, PCB layout modification, or thermal management adjustment. Direct pin-for-pin and form-factor replacement is applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V07E230P be used as a direct replacement for V07E230 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The V07E230P is electrically and mechanically identical to the V07E230. All voltage ratings, surge current capacity, energy dissipation, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions are equivalent. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between V07E230 and V07E230P?

A: The V07E230 is classified as obsolete, while the V07E230P is active. The V07E230P also specifies bulk packaging. These differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the V07E230 and V07E230P are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical regulatory classifications.

Q: Will the V07E230P fit the same PCB footprint as the V07E230?

A: Yes. Both components use identical through-hole mounting with 7mm disc form factor. PCB layout and hole spacing remain unchanged.

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

A: Both the V07E230 and V07E230P operate across -55°C to 85°C ambient temperature range.

Q: Are there any inventory or lead time considerations?

A: The V07E230P is currently in active production with higher inventory availability (3819 pcs) compared to the obsolete V07E230 (640 pcs). The V07E230P is the recommended selection for new orders and ongoing production.
