Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 158CKS016M with any of the listed parts in existing designs?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts match the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 1500 µF capacitance, 16 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, radial through-hole package with 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing and 0.394" (10.00 mm) diameter. Height variations up to 0.866" (22.00 mm) are compatible with standard through-hole circuit board layouts.

Q: What is the difference between parts with 0.846" and 0.866" heights?

A: Both heights are compatible with standard through-hole mounting. The 0.866" (22.00 mm) height represents a 0.020" (0.50 mm) increase, which does not affect circuit board layout or component clearance in typical applications. This variation is within acceptable mechanical tolerances for radial capacitor substitution.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have longer lifetimes?

A: Substitute parts such as 16ZLH1500MEFC10X20, 16ZLJ1500M10X20, EEU-FR1C152, EKYB160ELL152MJ20S, and EKZM160ELL152MJ20S are rated for 10000 hours at 105°C, compared to the original 2000 hours at 85°C. These parts utilize advanced dielectric and electrolyte formulations that extend operational life under elevated temperature conditions. Selection depends on application requirements for reliability and expected service life.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for UHV1C152MPD and UHW1C152MPD?

A: Parts designated "Not For New Designs" are legacy products that remain available for replacement and maintenance of existing systems but should not be selected for new circuit designs. These parts are suitable only for direct replacement in established applications. For new designs, select from Active status parts such as Rubycon ZLH/ZLJ/ZLS series, Panasonic EEU-FR1C152, or Chemi-Con EKYB/EKZM series.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The original 158CKS016M is also ROHS3 compliant. This ensures compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental regulations.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best performance for high-ripple-current applications?

A: EEU-FR1C152 (Panasonic) provides the highest ripple current ratings at 1.744 A @ 120 Hz and 2.18 A @ 100 kHz, combined with 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C and 20 mOhms impedance. 16ZLJ1500M10X20 (Rubycon) also offers excellent ripple current performance at 1.5 A @ 120 Hz and 2.5 A @ 100 kHz.

Q: Is the ELZA160ELL152MJ20S suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes, ELZA160ELL152MJ20S is rated for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 certification. This part is suitable for automotive circuit designs requiring extended temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and automotive-grade reliability standards.

Q: What is the REACH status difference between substitute parts?

A: Most substitute parts are REACH Unaffected, indicating full compliance with REACH regulations. UHV1C152MPD is marked as REACH Affected, which may impose additional documentation or sourcing restrictions depending on regional requirements. For unrestricted sourcing, select parts with REACH Unaffected status.
