Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V175LS20AP qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the V175LS20APX10 based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Maximum AC Volts: 175 V
• Maximum DC Volts: 225 V
• Varistor Voltage Range: 243 V (Min) to 297 V (Max), 270 V (Typical)
• Current - Surge: 6.5 kA
• Energy Rating: 90 J
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Capacitance @ 1 MHz: 1400 pF
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Disc 20mm

Difference:

• Packaging format: V175LS20APX10 supplied in Tape & Reel (TR); V175LS20AP supplied in Cut Tape (CT)

Both parts share the same LS series designation, active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status. The substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not impose supply chain or assembly constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both V175LS20APX10 and V175LS20AP are active production components from Littelfuse Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain and assembly requirements:

V175LS20APX10 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where tape and reel packaging integrates directly with pick-and-place equipment.

V175LS20AP (Cut Tape): Suitable for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or situations where tape and reel format is not required.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications. The choice between packaging formats does not affect electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or surge current handling capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V175LS20AP be used as a direct replacement for V175LS20APX10?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid provided assembly equipment can accommodate the packaging format.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable 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 the electrical specifications identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Maximum AC volts, maximum DC volts, varistor voltage range, surge current, energy rating, capacitance, and operating temperature range are identical across both parts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both V175LS20APX10 and V175LS20AP are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

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

A: V175LS20APX10 in Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. V175LS20AP in Cut Tape format is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly scenarios.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and deliver the same 6.5 kA surge current and 90 J energy rating.
