Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference: VC120618A400TP

Part Overview

The KYOCERA AVX VC120618A400TP is a surface-mount varistor designed for transient voltage suppression applications. It features a 25.5 V typical varistor voltage, supports up to 30 A surge current, and conforms to the industry-standard 1206 (3216 Metric) package. The device is RoHS3 compliant with an unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), making it suitable for automated assembly and high-volume production. The product is active and available in inventory, but identifying alternate and equivalent models is essential for supply chain flexibility, second sourcing, and risk mitigation in case of inventory fluctuations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is based strictly on matching electrical and mechanical parameters: maximum AC/DC voltage ratings, varistor voltage range, surge current, energy rating, capacitance at 1 kHz, number of circuits, operating temperature range, package/case dimensions, mounting type, RoHS status, and moisture sensitivity level. All listed substitute parts must meet these parameters exactly as specified in the input.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VC120618A400TP and its parametric equivalent VC120618A400DP are active products that meet RoHS3 compliance, REACH status, and indefinite floor life per MSL 1 rating. Selection may follow inventory availability or supply chain requirements as both offer identical electrical, mechanical, and regulatory parameters.
