Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V8ZC2P has one identified parametric equivalent: V8ZA2P. This substitute relationship is established based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Varistor Voltage Range: 6V (Min) to 11V (Max), with 8.5V typical rating
• Surge Current Capacity: 250 A
• Energy Dissipation: 0.8 J
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole, Disc 10mm package
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 85°C
• Electrical Ratings: 4V maximum AC, 5.5V maximum DC
• Capacitance Characteristics: 7000 pF @ 1 MHz

Both parts share identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors, making them functionally equivalent for circuit applications requiring these performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both V8ZC2P and V8ZA2P are Active products manufactured by Littelfuse Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and identical regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8533.40.4000). The V8ZA2P offers higher inventory availability (5772 units) compared to the V8ZC2P (1118 units), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V8ZA2P be used as a direct replacement for V8ZC2P?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8.5V typical varistor voltage, 250A surge current), energy dissipation (0.8J), and mechanical form factor (10mm disc through-hole package). They are functionally equivalent for circuit applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Substitutability is determined by: varistor voltage range (6V to 11V), surge current capacity (250A), energy rating (0.8J), package type (Disc 10mm), mounting configuration (through-hole), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C).

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

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.40.4000) classifications.

Q: What is the difference between the ZC and ZA series designations?

A: The series designation (ZC vs. ZA) reflects internal Littelfuse manufacturing classifications. Both series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this product line.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical 10mm disc through-hole packages with the same mechanical footprint and mounting requirements.
