Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the V150LC10C is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Littelfuse C-III varistor series. The following parameters define acceptable substitutes:

• Varistor voltage rating: 240 V (typical), with tolerance range 216 V – 264 V
• Surge current capacity: 6.5 kA minimum
• Energy absorption: 100 J minimum
• Package configuration: Through-hole disc 14mm
• Number of circuits: Single circuit (1)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 85°C
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating

The V150LC10CP meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent suitable for replacing the obsolete V150LC10C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The V150LC10CP is the direct substitute for the obsolete V150LC10C. Both components are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. within the same C-III series and share identical electrical specifications and physical packaging. The V150LC10CP carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, meeting environmental and moisture sensitivity requirements for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V150LC10CP be used as a direct replacement for the V150LC10C?

A: Yes. The V150LC10CP is electrically and mechanically identical to the V150LC10C. All electrical parameters, including varistor voltage, surge current capacity, and energy absorption, are matched. The through-hole disc 14mm package configuration is identical, allowing direct board-level substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The V150LC10C is classified as obsolete, while the V150LC10CP is an active product. The packaging designation differs (standard versus bulk), but electrical and mechanical specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. Both carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.40.4000) classifications.

Q: What parameters must remain constant when selecting a substitute varistor?

A: The varistor voltage rating (240 V typical, 216–264 V range), surge current capacity (6.5 kA), energy absorption (100 J), package type (through-hole disc 14mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) must all match the original specification.

Q: Is the V150LC10CP available in the same packaging options?

A: The V150LC10CP is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the V150LC10C packaging type was not specified. Both maintain the same physical disc 14mm form factor suitable for through-hole mounting.
