Equivalent & Substitute Parts for VCAS080505A150TP

Part Overview

The KYOCERA AVX VCAS080505A150TP is a surface-mount multilayer ceramic varistor (MLCV) designed for transient voltage suppression in automotive and general electronic applications. This model supports up to 8.5 V varistor voltage (typ), 40 A surge current, and features AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. It is currently active, RoHS3 compliant, and available in the 0805 (2012 Metric) package. When the main part number is unavailable due to supply constraints, inventory management, or strategic sourcing requirements, engineers must identify strictly equivalent substitute parts based on defined electrical and mechanical parameters to maintain circuit performance and regulatory compliance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Parametric substitution for the KYOCERA AVX VCAS080505A150TP is based exclusively on identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters. Substitute parts must match maximum AC and DC voltage ratings, varistor voltage range, surge current capability, energy rating, package size, mounting style, AEC-Q200 qualification, operating temperature, number of circuits, capacitance at test frequency, and relevant regulatory/compliance status.

Key parameters for substitution:

Maximum AC Volts
Maximum DC Volts
Varistor Voltage (Min/Typ/Max)
Current - Surge
Energy
Number of Circuits
Capacitance @ Frequency
Operating Temperature
Grade / Qualification (Automotive, AEC-Q200)
Mounting Type
Package / Case
RoHS and REACH compliance
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)

Only parts meeting all these criteria are considered parametric equivalents.
