Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VCAS080509A200TP are identified as parametric equivalents within the KYOCERA AVX TransGuard® series. Substitution is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Varistor voltage rating: 12.7 V typical (10.8 - 14.61 V range)
• Surge current capacity: 40 A
• Maximum AC voltage: 6.4 V
• Maximum DC voltage: 9 V
• Energy absorption: 0.1 J
• Capacitance: 750 pF @ 1 kHz

Mechanical & Packaging Equivalence Criteria:

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount, MLCV
• Single circuit configuration

Compliance & Qualification Equivalence:

• Series: TransGuard®
• Product Status: Active
• AEC-Q200 automotive qualification
• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal operating range (-55°C to 125°C), and regulatory compliance profiles. Differences exist only in packaging format designations (TP, DP, RP) which represent alternative tape and reel configurations from the same manufacturer.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VCAS080509A200TP, VC080509A200DP, and VC080509A200RP—are functionally equivalent transient voltage suppressors from KYOCERA AVX with Active product status. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

VCAS080509A200TP carries explicit AEC-Q200 automotive qualification designation, making it the specified choice for applications requiring documented automotive-grade component certification.

VC080509A200DP and VC080509A200RP are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and thermal specifications. These parts differ only in tape and reel packaging format designations. Selection between DP and RP variants depends on procurement requirements and equipment compatibility with specific reel configurations.

All three parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and REACH Unaffected status, supporting use in regulated and restricted substance environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VC080509A200DP and VC080509A200RP be used interchangeably with VCAS080509A200TP in automotive applications?

A: VC080509A200DP and VC080509A200RP are electrical and mechanical equivalents with identical varistor voltage (12.7 V), surge current (40 A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). However, VCAS080509A200TP carries explicit AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. For applications requiring documented automotive-grade certification, VCAS080509A200TP is the specified part. For non-automotive applications or where automotive qualification is not contractually required, the DP and RP variants are functionally equivalent.

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

A: TP, DP, and RP designations represent different tape and reel packaging formats from KYOCERA AVX for the same component. These are supply chain and equipment compatibility variations. The electrical performance, mechanical dimensions (0805 / 2012 Metric), and mounting type (Surface Mount, MLCV) are identical across all three variants.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. VCAS080509A200TP, VC080509A200DP, and VC080509A200RP are all RoHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these varistors?

A: All three parts operate across -55°C to 125°C (TA), supporting industrial and automotive temperature environments.

Q: Can these 0805 varistors be used in high-frequency applications?

A: These components have 750 pF capacitance at 1 kHz. Frequency-dependent performance must be evaluated based on specific circuit requirements and operating frequency ranges.

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

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