VDRS05C275TLE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VDRS05C275TLE is a 430 V, 400 A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) varistor manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components. This through-hole disc varistor is designed for transient voltage protection in electronic circuits. The part is currently in active production status with 754 units available in new original stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging or supply chain requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VDRS05C275TLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Varistor voltage range (387 V minimum to 473 V maximum)
• Surge current rating (400 A)
• Energy dissipation capacity (12 J)
• Capacitance at 1 kHz (55 pF)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Through-hole mounting configuration
• Disc 7mm package geometry
• Single circuit configuration

The VDRS05C275TSE meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent. The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Cut Tape (CT). Both packaging formats contain identical components suitable for the same electrical applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VDRS05C275TLE and VDRS05C275TSE are active production parts manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

• VDRS05C275TLE (Tape & Reel) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly processes
• VDRS05C275TSE (Cut Tape) is suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly workflows

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across applications. The choice between packaging formats does not affect circuit performance, thermal characteristics, or transient suppression capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can VDRS05C275TSE be used as a direct replacement for VDRS05C275TLE?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). The component itself is identical, and substitution is valid for any application using the VDRS05C275TLE.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. The electrical component is identical in both formats.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical varistor voltage ratings (430 V typical), surge current capacity (400 A), energy dissipation (12 J), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Performance in circuit is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both VDRS05C275TLE and VDRS05C275TSE are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting the same regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: VDRS05C275TLE (Tape & Reel) is the standard choice for high-volume automated assembly due to reel compatibility with pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Which part should be selected for low-volume or prototype applications?

A: VDRS05C275TSE (Cut Tape) is suitable for lower-volume applications where tape segments are more practical than full reels.
