VCAS121060J121DP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCAS121060J121DP is a 76 V, 250 A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) varistor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the TransGuard® series. This surface mount component in 1210 (3225 Metric) package is designed for transient voltage protection in electronic circuits. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, accommodating different packaging and inventory availability requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VCAS121060J121DP are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following electrical and mechanical parameters must remain identical for substitution:

• Varistor Voltage (Min/Typ/Max): 68.4 V / 76 V / 83.6 V
• Current - Surge: 250 A
• Maximum DC Volts: 60 V
• Maximum AC Volts: 42 V
• Energy: 1.5 J
• Capacitance @ 1 kHz: 400 pF
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C
• Package / Case: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, MLCV
• Number of Circuits: 1
• Series: TransGuard®
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitutes differ only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—VCAS121060J121DP, VC121060J121DP, and VC121060J121RP—are Active status components from KYOCERA AVX with identical electrical specifications and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements:

• VCAS121060J121DP and VC121060J121DP are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.
• VC121060J121RP is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

All parts meet the same regulatory requirements (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1) and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 76 V, 250 A transient voltage suppression in the 1210 package.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VC121060J121DP be used as a direct replacement for VCAS121060J121DP?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically identical with the same electrical specifications, operating temperature range, package dimensions, and compliance certifications. The only difference is packaging format (both are Tape & Reel).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is a continuous reel format optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® provides individual tape segments and a reel option, suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly processes. Both formats contain the same component with identical electrical performance.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same circuit application?

A: Yes. All three parts have identical electrical parameters: 76 V typical varistor voltage, 250 A surge current, 60 V maximum DC, 42 V maximum AC, 1.5 J energy rating, and 400 pF capacitance at 1 kHz. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in the same PCB layout.

Q: Do packaging differences affect PCB assembly or performance?

A: No. The 1210 (3225 Metric) package dimensions and Surface Mount, MLCV mounting type are identical across all three parts. Packaging format differences relate only to supply and handling, not to component performance or PCB integration.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), meeting the same environmental and regulatory standards.
