Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VCAS120648D101RP is determined by parametric equivalence within the following critical parameters:

• Varistor Voltage (Typ): 62 V with tolerance range 55.8 V – 68.2 V
• Current - Surge: 100 A
• Maximum AC/DC Volts: 34 V AC / 48 V DC
• Energy Rating: 0.4 J
• Capacitance @ 1 kHz: 225 pF
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) Surface Mount MLCV
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C
• RoHS and Compliance Status: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across these parameters. Series designation (TransGuard® or FLEXITERM®) and internal packaging codes vary, but do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active product status components manufactured by KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Each part maintains ROHS3 compliance, REACH unrestricted status, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification where specified. Selection among these equivalent parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: VC120648D101RP offers the highest unit availability at 20,200 pcs, followed by VC120648D101DP at 2,593 pcs and VCAS120648D101DZ at 4,647 pcs.
• Series Designation: FLEXITERM® and TransGuard® series are functionally interchangeable for this specification range.
• Packaging Code Variants: Internal packaging designations (RP, DP, DZ) do not affect component performance in the specified application context.

All parts are suitable for direct substitution without design modification or functional re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same circuit? A: Yes. All listed parts maintain identical varistor voltage (62 V), surge current rating (100 A), energy absorption (0.4 J), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). They are functionally equivalent in transient suppression applications.

Q: What is the difference between FLEXITERM® and TransGuard® series designations? A: Both series meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications for this product category. Series designation reflects KYOCERA AVX internal product line organization and does not affect functional performance or compatibility.

Q: Why do part numbers differ if specifications are identical? A: Part number variations reflect internal packaging codes and distribution channel designations. The suffixes (RP, DP, DZ) identify specific tape & reel packaging configurations and manufacturing batches, not functional differences.

Q: Are all parts AEC-Q200 qualified? A: VCAS120648D101RP, VCAS120648D101DP, and VCAS120648D101DZ carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. VC120648D101DP and VC120648D101RP maintain identical specifications and comply with automotive-grade standards.

Q: What is the significance of MSL Level 1? A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates unlimited shelf life without requiring special moisture control procedures. These parts do not require baking before reflow soldering regardless of storage duration.

Q: Are there any supply chain or sourcing advantages to selecting one part over another? A: VC120648D101RP has significantly higher inventory availability (20,200 pcs) compared to other equivalents. This may provide cost and delivery benefits for high-volume applications.
