Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Film capacitor substitution is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical parameters: capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance class, and dielectric material type. All substitute parts must maintain identical or superior electrical ratings. Physical dimensions and lead spacing are critical mechanical parameters that determine PCB footprint compatibility. Series variations from different CDE product lines (160, 167, 168, 184, 185) and alternative manufacturers (Vishay, EPCOS-TDK) are evaluated based on matching or exceeding the primary electrical specifications while maintaining radial through-hole mounting.

Critical substitution parameters:

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Electrical Equivalents (Same Voltage Rating):

Parts 160474J100E-F and 160474K100E-F from CDE maintain the 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing and are rated at 100V DC with superior margin above the 63V specification. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance. The 160474K100E-F matches the ±10% tolerance of the original part; the 160474J100E-F offers tighter ±5% tolerance. Increased physical height (0.472" vs. 0.433") must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Series Alternatives (Same Voltage Rating, Different Geometry):

CDE series 167, 168, 184, and 185 offer active alternatives at 63V DC with extended operating temperature to 125°C. Series 167 and 184 share 0.295" (7.50mm) lead spacing; series 168, 185 use 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing. These are electrically equivalent but require PCB redesign for lead spacing compatibility. All are ROHS3 compliant.

Higher Voltage Alternatives (Voltage Margin Upgrade):

The Vishay MKT1820447015 maintains 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing and adds voltage headroom at 100V DC. Operating temperature extends to 125°C. ROHS3 compliance and DC filtering applications are specified.

The EPCOS B32521C0474J000 maintains 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing at 63V DC with ±5% tolerance and -55°C to 125°C range. AEC-Q200 rating indicates automotive qualification. This part is specified for EMI/RFI suppression and automotive applications.

Recommendation Priority:

160474K100E-F – Direct CDE series match with same lead spacing, improved voltage rating, identical tolerance
160474J100E-F – CDE series match with improved voltage and tolerance, same lead spacing
B32521C0474J000 – Equivalent voltage rating with automotive qualification and superior tolerance
MKT1820447015 – Higher voltage rating with same lead spacing from established alternative manufacturer
Series 167/168/184/185 alternatives – Matched electrical specifications with PCB redesign required for lead spacing

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 160474K100E-F replace 160474K63D-F without design changes?

A: The 160474K100E-F is electrically compatible. Both parts have identical capacitance (0.47 µF), ±10% tolerance, and 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing. The increased height (0.472" vs. 0.433") must be verified against PCB clearance and component placement constraints. The 100V rating provides voltage margin above the 63V requirement.

Q: Why do some alternatives have different lead spacing?

A: CDE series 168, 185 and others use 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing instead of 0.394" (10.00mm). These represent physical redesigns within CDE's product line. Substitution requires PCB footprint modification and is only appropriate for new board revisions or custom layouts where spacing is not constrained.

Q: Is the EPCOS B32521C0474J000 a suitable alternative?

A: Yes. It matches the 63V DC rating and 0.47 µF capacitance with identical lead spacing. The ±5% tolerance is superior to the original ±10%. Operating temperature extends to 125°C. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates automotive-grade reliability. This part is suitable for direct substitution in existing layouts.

Q: What is the difference between tolerance ±5% and ±10%?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable capacitance variance from the nominal value. ±10% allows 0.423–0.517 µF; ±5% allows 0.447–0.493 µF. Tighter tolerance (±5%) provides more precise capacitance control, beneficial for precision circuits. General-purpose applications typically accept ±10% performance.

Q: Which parts are qualified for automotive use?

A: The EPCOS B32521C0474J000 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. CDE series 167, 168, 184, 185 do not list automotive ratings in the provided specifications. The Vishay MKT1820447015 specifies DC Link and DC Filtering applications without explicit automotive qualification.

Q: Can I use 160474J100E-F instead of 160474K100E-F?

A: Both parts are active CDE products with 100V rating and 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing. The primary difference is tolerance: 160474J100E-F offers ±5% while 160474K100E-F matches the original ±10%. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.236" width); verify against PCB layout.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (CDE 160, 167, 168, 184, 185 series; Vishay MKT1820; EPCOS B32521) are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.
