V130LC20B Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The V130LC20B is a 205 V, 6.5 kA varistor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for transient voltage suppression in through-hole applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The varistor provides protection against voltage transients with a disc form factor measuring 20mm, suitable for circuit protection in industrial and commercial equipment.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the V130LC20B is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute, V130LC20BP, maintains identical electrical specifications including varistor voltage (205 V typical), surge current rating (6.5 kA), energy absorption (70 J), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). Both parts feature the same through-hole disc 20mm package configuration and single-circuit design. The key distinction is product status: V130LC20B is obsolete while V130LC20BP is active, and packaging differs (standard versus bulk). All other parameters, including AC/DC voltage ratings, capacitance, and compliance certifications, remain unchanged.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V130LC20BP is the direct substitute for the obsolete V130LC20B. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The V130LC20BP maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Both parts comply with ROHS3 requirements and carry the same export classification (EAR99). Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements: V130LC20B uses standard packaging while V130LC20BP is supplied in bulk. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this varistor specification, V130LC20BP is the appropriate choice due to its active status and equivalent performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V130LC20BP be used as a direct replacement for V130LC20B? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with varistor voltage of 205 V (typical), surge current of 6.5 kA, and disc 20mm through-hole packaging. The primary difference is product status: V130LC20B is obsolete while V130LC20BP is active.

Q: What are the critical parameters for varistor substitution? A: Varistor voltage (190-220 V range), surge current rating (6.5 kA), energy absorption (70 J), operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), and package form factor (disc 20mm through-hole) must remain unchanged for functional equivalence.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: V130LC20B is supplied in standard packaging, while V130LC20BP is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical disc 20mm through-hole components with no impact on electrical performance or PCB mounting.
