Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 167105J63C-F replace the 160105J63F-F directly on the PCB?

A: The 167105J63C-F is electrically equivalent but has different physical dimensions (10.50mm x 5.00mm vs. 18.00mm x 5.00mm) and lead spacing (7.50mm vs. 15.00mm). PCB layout modification is required. Verify hole spacing and component clearance before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between CDE and EPCOS - TDK Electronics substitutes?

A: Both manufacturers provide electrically equivalent 1 µF, 63V DC film capacitors with ±5% tolerance. CDE substitutes (167, 168, 184, 185 series) are active products with extended temperature rating (-55°C ~ 125°C). EPCOS - TDK Electronics parts (B3252* series) offer identical or similar electrical specifications with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and higher inventory levels. Selection depends on PCB layout requirements and packaging format preference.

Q: Is the B32522C0105J000 a true equivalent to the 160105J63F-F?

A: Yes. The B32522C0105J000 matches the 160105J63F-F in all critical electrical parameters (1 µF, 63V DC, 40V AC, ±5% tolerance) and physical dimensions (18.00mm x 5.00mm, 15.00mm lead spacing). It is suitable for direct PCB replacement without layout modification.

Q: What does the upgrade part B32522C1105J000 offer?

A: The B32522C1105J000 maintains 1 µF capacitance and ±5% tolerance but increases voltage rating to 100V DC (63V AC). This part is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or designs operating in elevated voltage conditions. Physical dimensions remain identical to the original 160105J63F-F.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What packaging formats are available for substitutes?

A: CDE substitutes are available in Bulk or Tape & Reel (TR) formats. EPCOS - TDK Electronics parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications before ordering.

Q: Can I use a substitute with different lead spacing on an existing PCB?

A: No. Lead spacing differences require PCB layout modification. The original 160105J63F-F has 15.00mm lead spacing. Substitutes with 7.50mm (167105J63C-F, 184105J63RCA-F, 184105J63RCB-F, B32520C0105J000) or 5.00mm (168105J63G-F, 185105J63RGA-F, 185105J63RGB-F) spacing require new PCB design or rework.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between the original and substitutes?

A: The original 160105J63F-F operates from -55°C to 105°C. All active substitute parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing 20°C additional upper temperature margin. This improvement enhances reliability in high-temperature environments.
