Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the V175LC2PX2855 are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Electrical Parameters: Maximum AC volts, maximum DC volts, varistor voltage range (minimum, typical, maximum), surge current rating, and energy dissipation capacity must be identical.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Mounting type (through hole) and package form factor (disc 7mm) must match.
• Circuit Configuration: Single circuit requirement must be maintained.
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range and capacitance characteristics must be equivalent.
• Compliance & Status: RoHS3 compliance, REACH status, and active product status are required.

The V175LA2P meets all substitution criteria as a parametric equivalent within the Littelfuse varistor product line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the V175LA2P be used as a direct replacement for the V175LC2PX2855?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical parameters (175 V AC maximum, 225 V DC maximum, 270 V typical varistor voltage, 1.2 kA surge current, 15 J energy rating), circuit configuration (single circuit), and mechanical specifications (through-hole mounting, disc 7mm package). Operating temperature range and capacitance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the LC and LA series designations?

A: The LC and LA designations indicate different product series within the Littelfuse varistor line. For the specified electrical and mechanical parameters, these series variants are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status, REACH unaffected status, and active product status. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited) is the same for both components.

Q: What factors should determine part selection between V175LC2PX2855 and V175LA2P?

A: Selection should be based on inventory availability, lead time, and supply chain logistics. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for the specified application parameters.

Q: Are these parts suitable for PCB mounting or only through-hole breadboard applications?

A: Both components are through-hole mounted devices designed for insertion into PCB holes or breadboard applications. The disc 7mm package form factor is consistent with standard through-hole component specifications.
