V150LU5P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The V150LU5P is a 240 V, 2.5 kA varistor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for transient voltage suppression applications. This through-hole disc component (10mm) operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and is ROHS3 compliant. The part is currently in active production status with 968 units available in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V150LU5P has one identified parametric equivalent: V150LT5P. This substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Maximum AC Volts: 150 V
• Maximum DC Volts: 200 V
• Varistor Voltage (Min/Typ/Max): 216 V / 240 V / 264 V
• Current - Surge: 2.5 kA
• Energy Absorption: 25 J
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Capacitance @ 1 MHz: 360 pF
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Disc 10mm

Compliance & Status (Identical):

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

Packaging Difference:

• V150LU5P: Tape & Reel (TR)
• V150LT5P: Cut Tape (CT)

The substitution is based on identical electrical performance and mechanical form factor. The packaging format difference (TR vs. CT) does not affect component functionality or circuit performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both V150LU5P and V150LT5P are active production components from Littelfuse Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements:

V150LU5P (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel feeding. Recommended for high-volume production environments with compatible tape-and-reel handling equipment.

V150LT5P (Cut Tape): Suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where individual component handling is preferred. Provides flexibility for mixed-component sourcing.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and identical performance across the specified operating temperature range. Component selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V150LT5P replace V150LU5P in my circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, voltage ratings, surge current capacity, and thermal characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment. Cut Tape packaging supplies individual components or small quantities cut from tape, suitable for manual assembly or low-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between V150LU5P and V150LT5P?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: Which part should I specify for my design?

A: Specify based on your assembly process. For automated assembly with reel-feeding capability, use V150LU5P. For manual assembly or mixed-component sourcing, use V150LT5P. Both are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Do these parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both V150LU5P and V150LT5P operate across -55°C to 85°C. Thermal performance and derating characteristics are identical.

Q: Is one part more readily available than the other?

A: Current inventory shows V150LT5P (1179 units) has higher stock levels than V150LU5P (968 units). Availability may vary based on current demand and supply conditions.
