Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VC120614A300TP, VC120614A300DP, and VC120614A300RP—are functionally equivalent for transient voltage suppression applications. Each maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability and inventory status. The VC120614A300DP and VC120614A300RP demonstrate higher stock availability (4200 pcs each) compared to VC120614A300TP (1093 pcs), which may influence supply chain decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VC120614A300DP and VC120614A300RP be used as direct replacements for VC120614A300TP?

A: Yes. These parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, surge current ratings, voltage thresholds, and thermal operating ranges. The 1206 (3216 Metric) package configuration and single-circuit MLCV mounting type remain unchanged across all three parts.

Q: What electrical parameters define substitution eligibility?

A: The critical parameters are varistor voltage (18.5 V nominal with 16.28 V to 20.72 V range), 40 A surge current, 14 V maximum DC voltage, 10 V maximum AC voltage, 0.1 J energy capacity, and 600 pF capacitance at 1 kHz. All substitute parts match these specifications exactly.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts use the same Surface Mount, MLCV mounting type and 1206 (3216 Metric) package configuration, ensuring identical PCB footprint and assembly compatibility.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification, maintain REACH unaffected status, and have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, providing equivalent regulatory and environmental compliance.
