V480LS7P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The V480LS7P is a 750 V, 1.2 kA disc varistor manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., designed for transient voltage suppression applications. This through-hole component operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and is ROHS3 compliant. The part is currently in active production status with 1126 units available in stock. Alternative models may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V480LT7P qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the V480LS7P based on the following critical substitution criteria:

All electrical parameters are identical: varistor voltage range (675 V minimum to 825 V maximum, 750 V typical), surge current rating (1.2 kA), maximum AC/DC voltage ratings (480 V AC, 640 V DC), energy absorption (35 J), and capacitance (50 pF @ 1 MHz).

Mechanical compatibility is maintained: both components use through-hole mounting with identical disc 7mm package geometry.

Environmental and compliance specifications match: operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C), ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited).

The only difference between these parts is packaging format: V480LS7P is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while V480LT7P is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. This distinction affects procurement and assembly processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both V480LS7P and V480LT7P are active production components from Littelfuse Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations.

The V480LS7P in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations. The V480LT7P in Cut Tape format accommodates lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V480LT7P be used as a direct replacement for V480LS7P?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape). Substitution is valid for any application where the V480LS7P is specified, provided assembly equipment can accommodate the Cut Tape 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 provides components on tape segments, typically used for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both V480LS7P and V480LT7P have identical varistor voltage ratings (750 V typical), surge current capacity (1.2 kA), energy absorption (35 J), and all other electrical parameters. They perform identically in circuit applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.40.4000) classifications. They meet the same regulatory requirements for global deployment.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: V480LS7P in Tape & Reel format is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. V480LT7P in Cut Tape format is suitable when automated reel-fed equipment is unavailable or for lower-volume requirements.
