Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the V130LT20C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Varistor Voltage (Typical): 205 V
• Maximum AC Volts: 130 V
• Current - Surge Rating: 10 kA
• Energy Dissipation: 200 J
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Disc 20mm
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 85°C

The V130LT20CP is a direct functional equivalent of the V130LT20C. Both parts share identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. The primary distinction is packaging format: the V130LT20C is supplied in bulk packaging, while the V130LT20CP is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Additionally, the V130LT20CP maintains Active product status, whereas the V130LT20C is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V130LT20CP is the direct replacement for the V130LT20C. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The V130LT20CP is the preferred selection for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its Active product status. For legacy system maintenance requiring the V130LT20C, the V130LT20CP provides full functional equivalence with the advantage of continued manufacturer support and availability.

The packaging difference (bulk versus Tape & Reel) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in through-hole applications. Selection between these formats depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V130LT20CP be used as a direct replacement for the V130LT20C in existing designs?

A: Yes. The V130LT20CP is electrically and mechanically identical to the V130LT20C. Both components share the same varistor voltage (205 V typical), surge current rating (10 kA), energy dissipation (200 J), and disc 20mm form factor. The only difference is packaging format and product status.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The V130LT20C is supplied in bulk packaging, while the V130LT20CP is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This distinction affects handling, storage, and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or circuit functionality.

Q: Why is the V130LT20C classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production of this specific part number. The V130LT20CP remains in active production and serves as the current equivalent offering from Littelfuse Inc.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the V130LT20C and V130LT20CP are ROHS3 compliant with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Both carry the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution in TVS varistor applications?

A: For the V130LT20C / V130LT20CP family, the critical parameters are: varistor voltage (205 V typical), maximum AC voltage (130 V), surge current rating (10 kA), energy dissipation (200 J), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), and physical form factor (disc 20mm through-hole). Deviation in any of these parameters indicates a non-equivalent component.
