VGAS222016Y400DP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VGAS222016Y400DP is a 24.5 V, 1.5 kA Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) varistor manufactured by KYOCERA AVX in the TransGuard® series. This surface mount component is designed for transient overvoltage protection in single-circuit applications. The part is Active in product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), making it suitable for industrial and commercial electronic applications requiring reliable surge suppression.

Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or design revision updates while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the VGAS222016Y400DP is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part VG222016Y400DP qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Varistor voltage range (22.05 V minimum to 26.95 V maximum, 24.5 V typical)
• Surge current capacity (1.5 kA)
• Maximum AC and DC voltage ratings (11 V AC, 16 V DC)
• Energy absorption capability (7.2 J)
• Capacitance characteristics (13000 pF @ 1 kHz)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
• Package and mounting specifications (2220 MLCV surface mount)
• Number of circuits (1)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected)

Both parts belong to the same TransGuard® series and share identical product status (Active). The substitute maintains full functional and physical interchangeability for circuit design applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both VGAS222016Y400DP and VG222016Y400DP are Active products with identical compliance certifications (RoHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements, as they are fully equivalent in all electrical, mechanical, and regulatory aspects.

The MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level indicates both parts are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions without special moisture control requirements. Both parts maintain the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.40.4000) classifications for regulatory and trade purposes.
