Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V230LA10P qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the V230LC10P based on the following substitution criteria:

• Voltage Rating Match: Both parts maintain identical maximum AC (230 V) and DC (300 V) specifications, with varistor voltage range of 324 V (Min) to 396 V (Max)
• Surge Current Capacity: Both rated at 2.5 kA surge current
• Energy Dissipation: Both rated at 35 J
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical through-hole mounting configuration with 10mm disc package
• Electrical Characteristics: Matching capacitance (250 pF @ 1 MHz) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C)
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1, and REACH unaffected status

The primary distinction between these parts is the internal series designation (LC versus LA), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit within the specified parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the V230LC10P and V230LA10P are Active status components with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements, as electrical performance and mechanical specifications are identical. Both parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL Level 1 designation, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. The REACH unaffected status applies uniformly across both options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V230LA10P be used as a direct replacement for V230LC10P? A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (360 V typical varistor voltage, 2.5 kA surge current, 35 J energy), mechanical configuration (10mm disc through-hole), and operating specifications (-55°C to 85°C). The series designation difference (LA versus LC) does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory requirements are met uniformly across both options.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this varistor category? A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: maximum AC/DC voltage ratings, varistor voltage range (Min/Typ/Max), surge current capacity, energy dissipation rating, package type, and mounting configuration. All these criteria are met between V230LC10P and V230LA10P.

Q: Does package size affect interchangeability? A: No. Both parts use identical 10mm disc through-hole packaging, ensuring mechanical fit and PCB compatibility without modification.

Q: Are there inventory or lead time considerations? A: V230LA10P maintains higher inventory availability (5080 pcs) compared to V230LC10P (950 pcs), which may influence supply chain decisions without affecting technical performance.
