V150LC2P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The V150LC2P is a 240 V, 1.2 kA Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) varistor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. in a through-hole disc 7mm package. This component is designed for transient voltage protection in electronic circuits and is currently in active production status. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, optimize inventory management, and maintain design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V150LC2P has one parametric equivalent substitute: the V150LA2P. Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications that determine substitutability:

Key Parameters for Substitution:

• Maximum AC Volts: 150 V
• Maximum DC Volts: 200 V
• Varistor Voltage (Typical): 240 V
• Current - Surge: 1.2 kA
• Energy: 13 J
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Disc 7mm
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C
• Capacitance @ Frequency: 150 pF @ 1 MHz

The primary difference between these parts is the series designation (LC versus LA), which reflects internal design variations within Littelfuse's product line while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the V150LC2P and V150LA2P are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 240 V transient voltage suppression with 1.2 kA surge current capacity. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain considerations rather than electrical performance differences.

Both parts maintain active production status with Littelfuse Inc., ensuring long-term availability and consistent quality. Both comply with ROHS3 requirements and are unaffected by REACH regulations, making them suitable for applications with environmental compliance requirements.

The V150LA2P currently has higher inventory availability (2190 pcs) compared to the V150LC2P (746 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V150LA2P be used as a direct replacement for V150LC2P? A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical ratings, surge current capacity, energy dissipation, operating temperature range, and physical package dimensions. They are fully interchangeable in circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between the LC and LA series designations? A: The series designation reflects internal design variations within Littelfuse's varistor product line. Both series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this voltage and current rating.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layouts or footprints? A: No. Both parts use identical through-hole disc 7mm packages, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB designs without layout modifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards? A: Yes. Both V150LC2P and V150LA2P are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Either part is acceptable for new designs. Selection may be based on current inventory levels, supplier availability, or established procurement relationships with Littelfuse Inc.
