V14E420PL3T7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The V14E420PL3T7 is a 680 V, 6 kA Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) varistor manufactured by Littelfuse in the UltraMOV™ series. This through-hole disc component (14mm) is designed for transient voltage protection in AC and DC applications with a maximum AC rating of 420 V and maximum DC rating of 560 V. The part is currently Active in product status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility are required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or supply chain considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TMOV14RP420EL2T7 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the V14E420PL3T7 based on the following substitution criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Varistor Voltage (Typical): 680 V
• Varistor Voltage Range: 612 V (Min) to 748 V (Max)
• Current - Surge: 6 kA
• Maximum AC Volts: 420 V
• Maximum DC Volts: 560 V
• Energy: 160 J
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Capacitance @ 1 MHz: 300 pF
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Disc 14mm

Compliance & Status (Identical):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Product Status: Active

The primary difference is packaging format: V14E420PL3T7 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while TMOV14RP420EL2T7 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). Both parts belong to Littelfuse varistor product lines and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the V14E420PL3T7 and TMOV14RP420EL2T7 are Active products manufactured by Littelfuse with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply availability:

• V14E420PL3T7 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel feeding.
• TMOV14RP420EL2T7 (Cut Tape): Suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or when reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for equivalent circuit protection applications without compliance concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TMOV14RP420EL2T7 be used as a direct replacement for V14E420PL3T7?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical parameters (680 V typical varistor voltage, 6 kA surge current, 420 V AC maximum, 560 V DC maximum) and mechanical specifications (through-hole, 14mm disc package). The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both V14E420PL3T7 and TMOV14RP420EL2T7 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these varistors?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 85°C ambient temperature range (TA).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical through-hole mounting specifications and 14mm disc package dimensions, allowing direct PCB footprint compatibility.
