  • Surge current rating: 40 A
  • Maximum AC and DC voltage ratings: 6.4 V AC / 9 V DC
  • Energy rating: 0.1 J
  • Capacitance: 750 pF @ 1 kHz
  • Operating temperature: -55°C to 125°C
  • Package format: 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount
  • Mounting type: MLCV
  • Single circuit configuration
  • Regulatory compliance: RoHS3 and REACH

The identified substitutes VC080509A200DP and VC080509A200RP meet all specified parameters and are manufactured by KYOCERA AVX within the same TransGuard® series. Differences are limited to packaging designation (DP vs. RP tape and reel configurations) and inventory availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VCAS080509A200DP, VC080509A200DP, and VC080509A200RP—are Active products manufactured by KYOCERA AVX and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging designation and inventory availability rather than functional performance.

VC080509A200DP and VC080509A200RP differ only in tape and reel configuration designations (DP vs. RP). Both substitutes carry full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching the regulatory profile of the primary part. Moisture sensitivity level remains constant at MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all three variants.

For applications requiring the VCAS080509A200DP, either substitute part provides equivalent functional performance within the specified electrical and thermal operating ranges. Selection should be based on procurement availability, lead time, and packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VC080509A200DP and VC080509A200RP be used interchangeably with VCAS080509A200DP?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications, including varistor voltage (12.7 V typical), surge current (40 A), voltage ratings (6.4 V AC / 9 V DC), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The package format (0805 / 2012 Metric) and mounting type (Surface Mount, MLCV) are identical. Differences are limited to tape and reel packaging designations.

Q: What is the difference between DP and RP packaging designations?

A: DP and RP designations refer to different tape and reel configurations used in automated assembly processes. Both are Tape & Reel (TR) packaging formats. The electrical and mechanical properties of the components are identical. Selection depends on compatibility with your assembly equipment and supplier availability.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. VCAS080509A200DP, VC080509A200DP, and VC080509A200RP are all ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All three parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Can I substitute these parts in existing designs without circuit modification?

A: Yes. The parametric equivalence across varistor voltage, surge current, voltage ratings, capacitance, and operating temperature ensures direct substitution without circuit redesign. PCB layout and assembly process compatibility should be verified based on your specific manufacturing environment.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each part?

A: VCAS080509A200DP: 982 Pcs; VC080509A200DP: 7300 Pcs; VC080509A200RP: 10570 Pcs. Inventory levels support procurement planning and supply chain continuity.
