• Supply Voltage: 3.3V
• Frequency Stability: ±50ppm
• Operating Temperature Range: -20°C ~ 70°C
• Package / Case: 6-SMD, No Lead
• Physical Dimensions: 0.276" L x 0.197" W (7.00mm x 5.00mm)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitute parts are manufactured by Suntsu Electronics, Inc. and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original EPSON part. Both substitute parts are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Suntsu Electronics substitute parts (SVC75C3A27C2-100.000M and SVC75C3A27D2-100.000M) provide direct functional equivalence to the obsolete EPSON VG-4501CA 100.0000M-JGCT. The primary distinction between the two substitute options is packaging format:

SVC75C3A27C2-100.000M is supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for applications requiring individual component procurement or small-volume assembly operations.

SVC75C3A27D2-100.000M is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and high-volume production environments.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are currently in active production status, ensuring sustained availability and supply chain reliability. The substitute parts demonstrate improved current consumption characteristics, with maximum supply current of 25mA compared to the original part's 35mA specification, and feature a reduced seated height of 0.067" (1.70mm) versus 0.071" (1.80mm), providing additional design flexibility for space-constrained applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SVC75C3A27C2-100.000M and SVC75C3A27D2-100.000M be used interchangeably with VG-4501CA 100.0000M-JGCT?

A: Yes. Both Suntsu parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The difference is packaging format only. SVC75C3A27C2-100.000M uses Bulk packaging, while SVC75C3A27D2-100.000M uses Tape & Reel format. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the two Suntsu substitute parts?

A: The electrical specifications are identical. SVC75C3A27C2-100.000M is packaged in Bulk format for manual or small-volume assembly. SVC75C3A27D2-100.000M is packaged in Tape & Reel format for automated assembly lines. Choose based on your manufacturing process.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with existing PCB designs for the VG-4501CA?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain the same 6-SMD, No Lead package footprint and physical dimensions (7.00mm x 5.00mm). The reduced seated height (1.70mm vs. 1.80mm) provides additional clearance margin. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the significance of the Absolute Pull Range (APR) specification?

A: APR defines the frequency adjustment range available through the control voltage. The substitute parts specify ±50ppm APR, matching the frequency stability specification. This ensures the VCXO can achieve the required frequency tuning range for your application.

Q: Why do the substitute parts have lower maximum supply current (25mA vs. 35mA)?

A: The Suntsu parts demonstrate improved power efficiency while maintaining identical electrical performance. This lower current consumption reduces thermal load and power dissipation, benefiting overall system design.

Q: Are both substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both SVC75C3A27C2-100.000M and SVC75C3A27D2-100.000M are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original VG-4501CA part.
