VCAS120660M131RP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCAS120660M131RP is an 82 V, 150 A transient voltage suppressor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX under the FLEXITERM® series. This varistor is designed for single-circuit transient protection in surface mount applications using the MLCV 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. The component is actively produced and maintains AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when identical electrical performance parameters and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same product category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VCAS120660M131RP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Varistor Voltage Rating: Nominal 82 V with tolerance range 73.8 V to 90.2 V
Surge Current Capacity: 150 A minimum
Energy Absorption: 1 J
Package Format: Surface mount MLCV 1206 (3216 Metric)
Circuit Configuration: Single circuit
Electrical Specifications: Maximum AC 50 V, Maximum DC 60 V, Capacitance 250 pF @ 1 kHz
Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C
Compliance Standards: ROHS3, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification

The substitute part VCAS120660M131DP meets all these parameters identically, differing only in packaging designation (DP versus RP suffix, indicating different tape and reel configurations).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VCAS120660M131RP and VCAS120660M131DP are active production components from KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional performance.

VCAS120660M131RP (Tape & Reel RP configuration): Current inventory of 812 pieces. Suitable for applications where the RP tape and reel format is specified or preferred.

VCAS120660M131DP (Tape & Reel DP configuration): Current inventory of 1861 pieces. Suitable for applications where the DP tape and reel format is specified or preferred, with higher stock availability.

Both parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. Selection should be based on procurement specifications, assembly equipment compatibility with the specific tape and reel format, and inventory availability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VCAS120660M131DP be used as a direct replacement for VCAS120660M131RP?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The suffix difference (RP versus DP) indicates different tape and reel packaging configurations. Direct substitution is valid provided the assembly equipment is compatible with the DP tape and reel format.

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

A: RP and DP refer to different tape and reel specifications for surface mount component delivery. Both deliver the same MLCV 1206 (3216 Metric) varistor. Compatibility depends on the specific tape and reel format supported by the pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both VCAS120660M131RP and VCAS120660M131DP carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, confirming suitability for automotive-grade transient voltage suppression.

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

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C ambient temperature range, suitable for industrial and automotive environments.

Q: Do these parts require any special handling or storage?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. No special moisture control measures are required.

Q: What is the energy absorption capacity?

A: Both parts absorb 1 J of transient energy, determining the maximum surge event magnitude they can suppress within specification.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both VCAS120660M131RP and VCAS120660M131DP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental regulatory requirements.
