Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VC080512A250RP are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following criteria determine substitutability:

• Varistor voltage range (Min/Typ/Max): 13.6 V / 16 V / 18.4 V
• Surge current rating: 40 A
• Maximum DC and AC voltage ratings: 12 V DC / 8.5 V AC
• Energy dissipation: 0.1 J
• Capacitance at 1 kHz: 525 pF
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) Surface Mount, MLCV
• Number of circuits: 1
• Series: TransGuard®
• Compliance: ROHS3, REACH Unaffected

All identified substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel vs. standard packaging) do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VC080512A250RP, VC080512A250DP, and VCAS080512A250DP—are functionally equivalent and interchangeable based on electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection should be based on:

• Packaging format availability: VC080512A250RP is standard packaging; VC080512A250DP and VCAS080512A250DP are supplied in Tape & Reel format
• Inventory availability: VCAS080512A250DP has the highest stock level at 8361 units
• Product status: All parts are Active and suitable for new designs
• Compliance requirements: All parts meet ROHS3 and REACH requirements, with ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8533.40.4000

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VC080512A250DP be used as a direct replacement for VC080512A250RP?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically identical with matching electrical specifications (16 V typical varistor voltage, 40 A surge current, 0.1 J energy) and mechanical form factor (0805 package, Surface Mount MLCV). The difference is packaging format: VC080512A250DP is supplied in Tape & Reel.

Q: What is the difference between VC080512A250DP and VCAS080512A250DP?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference lies in part number designation and inventory availability. VCAS080512A250DP has higher stock levels (8361 units vs. 3426 units).

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, supporting both industrial and extended temperature applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect circuit performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel packaging (VC080512A250DP, VCAS080512A250DP) is a supply format only and does not affect electrical performance or reliability compared to standard packaging (VC080512A250RP).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for global markets.
