Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the V14P460PL3T7 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Varistor Voltage (Typical): 750 V
• Maximum AC Volts: 460 V
• Maximum DC Volts: 615 V
• Current - Surge: 6 kA
• Energy Absorption: 180 J
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Capacitance @ 1 MHz: 220 pF
• Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to +125°C
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Disc 14mm
• Manufacturer: Littelfuse Inc.
• Series: UltraMOV®
• Product Status: Active

The substitute part V14P460PL2A7 maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical form factor. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and carry the same base product number V14P460.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both V14P460PL3T7 and V14P460PL2A7 are active, production-grade components from Littelfuse Inc. with identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements:

V14P460PL3T7 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel-fed component delivery. Current inventory: 802 units.

V14P460PL2A7 (Cut Tape): Suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or lower-volume production runs. Current inventory: 4,080 units.

Both parts comply with RoHS regulations and carry EAR99 export classification. The substitute part V14P460PL2A7 is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and REACH Unaffected status. Selection should be based on assembly methodology and procurement volume requirements, not electrical performance, as both parts are electrically and mechanically identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V14P460PL2A7 be used as a direct replacement for V14P460PL3T7?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid for through-hole assembly applications.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels 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 there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical varistor voltage (750 V typical), surge current rating (6 kA), energy absorption (180 J), capacitance (220 pF @ 1 MHz), and operating temperature range (−55°C to +125°C).

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume automated assembly?

A: V14P460PL3T7 (Tape & Reel) is optimized for automated assembly processes. However, V14P460PL2A7 (Cut Tape) can also be used if reel-fed equipment is not available.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. V14P460PL3T7 is RoHS/Lead Free compliant. V14P460PL2A7 is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet RoHS requirements.

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

A: Both parts operate from −55°C to +125°C ambient temperature (TA).

Q: Can these varistors be used in AC or DC circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for maximum AC voltage of 460 V and maximum DC voltage of 615 V, making them suitable for AC or DC transient suppression applications.
