Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VC120603D100TP are identified based on parametric equivalence within the TransGuard® varistor series. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance characteristics, including varistor voltage range (4 V minimum to 6 V maximum), surge current rating (150 A), maximum AC and DC voltage specifications, energy absorption capacity (0.4 J), and capacitance value (4700 pF @ 1 kHz). All substitutes operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and share identical package and mounting specifications (1206 / 3216 Metric, surface mount MLCV configuration). Compliance attributes including RoHS3, REACH, and moisture sensitivity ratings are uniform across all equivalent parts. The substitution relationship is based on the following critical parameters:

• Varistor voltage specification: 5 V nominal (4-6 V range)
• Surge current capacity: 150 A
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount, MLCV
• Number of circuits: Single circuit (1)
• Compliance certifications: RoHS3, REACH Unaffected

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts (VC120603D100TP, VC120603D100DP, and VC120603D100RP) are active production components from KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Selection among these equivalent parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or packaging preferences, as all parts are offered in Tape & Reel (TR) format suitable for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are VC120603D100DP and VC120603D100RP direct drop-in replacements for VC120603D100TP? A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical characteristics (5 V nominal varistor voltage, 150 A surge current, 0.4 J energy absorption), identical mechanical specifications (1206 / 3216 Metric package, surface mount MLCV), and identical compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH). They are parametric equivalents suitable for direct substitution in circuit applications.

Q: What determines substitutability for this TVS varistor family? A: Substitutability is based on matching varistor voltage (4-6 V range with 5 V nominal), surge current capacity (150 A), package format (1206 / 3216 Metric), mounting type (Surface Mount, MLCV), single-circuit configuration, and compliance status (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected).

Q: Do all substitute parts operate across the same temperature range? A: Yes. All equivalent parts are rated for operation from -55°C to 125°C, ensuring consistent thermal performance across all three part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (TP, DP, RP)? A: The suffix designations (TP, DP, RP) indicate different packaging or tape configurations within the TransGuard® series. All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel format and are functionally equivalent; the suffix reflects internal KYOCERA AVX manufacturing and supply chain designations.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-speed signal protection applications? A: All parts feature 4700 pF capacitance at 1 kHz, consistent with TVS varistor performance in standard transient voltage suppression circuits. Specific application suitability depends on circuit frequency requirements and impedance matching, which are application-dependent parameters not specified in the part data.

Q: Do these varistors require any special handling during storage or assembly? A: All parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture absorption precautions are required during storage or handling. Standard electronic component handling practices apply.
