Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VCAS120660M131TP are identified based on strict equivalence in electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criterion for substitution is identical or equivalent performance within the following key parameters:

• Varistor Voltage Range: 73.8 V (Min) to 90.2 V (Max), with typical value of 82 V
• Surge Current Rating: 150 A minimum
• Package Specification: 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount form factor
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200)
• Voltage Rating: Maximum AC volts of 50 V and maximum DC volts of 60 V
• Energy Dissipation: 1 J nominal capacity

The VCAS120660M131DP is classified as a parametric equivalent to the VCAS120660M131TP. Both components share identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and mechanical packaging, differing only in packaging configuration (Tape & Reel format for both).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VCAS120660M131TP and VCAS120660M131DP are Active products from KYOCERA AVX with full ROHS3 Compliance and automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q200. These components are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within their specified parameter tolerances. Selection between the two parts may be driven by inventory availability, supply chain lead times, or existing stock management protocols. Both components support the same application requirements for 82 V transient voltage suppression with 150 A surge current capacity in a 1206 surface mount package. Moisture sensitivity level MSL 1 (Unlimited) ensures extended shelf life without bake requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VCAS120660M131DP be used as a direct replacement for VCAS120660M131TP? A: Yes. Both components are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), varistor voltage (82 V typical), surge current rating (150 A), and 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. No circuit modification is required.

Q: What determines the substitutability of these varistor components? A: Substitutability is determined by matching the varistor voltage range (73.8 V to 90.2 V), surge current rating (150 A), maximum voltage ratings (50 V AC, 60 V DC), energy dissipation (1 J), operating temperature range, and physical package dimensions. Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts? A: No. Both VCAS120660M131TP and VCAS120660M131DP carry identical certifications: ROHS3 Compliance, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the significance of the 1206 package specification? A: The 1206 (3216 Metric) package is a standard surface mount form factor with fixed footprint dimensions. Both substitute parts utilize this identical package, ensuring compatibility with PCB layouts, reflow processes, and pick-and-place equipment programming.

Q: How does capacitance affect the substitution decision? A: Both parts specify 250 pF capacitance at 1 kHz. This parameter is identical and does not differentiate substitution suitability.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts? A: VCAS120660M131TP has 820 pieces in stock, while VCAS120660M131DP has 1,861 pieces available. Substitution decisions may reflect procurement lead times and inventory allocation strategies.
