160475K63N-F Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 160475K63N-F is a 4.7 µF film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole radial mounting. This polyester, metallized film capacitor operates at 63V DC and maintains performance across a -55°C to 105°C temperature range. The part is currently active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Finding qualified substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain resilience, and performance continuity when the original part becomes unavailable or when design requirements specify higher voltage or temperature ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 160475K63N-F is determined by matching critical electrical and mechanical parameters within industry-defined tolerances. The substitute parts identified—DME1W4P7K-F and B32523Q1475K000—are qualified equivalents because they maintain the following parameter alignment:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 4.7 µF (identical)
• Capacitance tolerance: ±10% (identical)
• Mounting type: Through hole radial (identical)
• Lead spacing: 0.886" (22.50mm) (identical)
• Dielectric class: Polyester, metallized (same material family)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Voltage rating: DC rating upgraded from 63V to 100V (higher voltage provides backward compatibility)
• Operating temperature range: Extended from -55°C to 105°C up to -55°C to 125°C (extended upper limit supports broader thermal applications)
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations within manufacturing tolerances (height increases from 0.669" to 0.728" and 0.630"; length and width within ±0.02")

Both substitute parts exceed the original specification in voltage and thermal performance, ensuring electrical and thermal compatibility in applications designed for the 160475K63N-F.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The DME1W4P7K-F, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics, maintains supply-chain consistency with the original part while providing upgraded voltage (100V DC) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The B32523Q1475K000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics offers similar electrical performance with PET dielectric material and is suitable for automotive and EMI/RFI suppression applications.

Selection between substitutes depends on supply availability, lead time requirements, and application-specific needs. Both parts are electrically interchangeable with the original specification and provide enhanced performance margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DME1W4P7K-F directly replace the 160475K63N-F in existing designs?

A: Yes. The DME1W4P7K-F maintains identical capacitance (4.7 µF), tolerance (±10%), mounting configuration (through-hole radial), and lead spacing (0.886"/22.50mm). The upgraded voltage rating (100V vs. 63V) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) provide enhanced performance margins and are fully compatible with circuits designed for the original part.

Q: Are there physical fit concerns when substituting with B32523Q1475K000?

A: Physical dimensions differ slightly. The B32523Q1475K000 features a reduced seated height (0.630" vs. 0.669") and narrower width (0.276" vs. 0.335"), which may provide improved board-level density. Lead spacing remains identical at 0.886" (22.50mm), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. Minor dimensional variations fall within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect electrical or thermal performance.

Q: What role does dielectric material play in part selection?

A: The 160475K63N-F and DME1W4P7K-F both use polyester-metallized construction. The B32523Q1475K000 uses polyethylene terephthalate (PET) metallized material, which is functionally equivalent within the polyester dielectric family. Both material types provide stable capacitance across the specified temperature and voltage ranges for this application class.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range (125°C vs. 105°C) affect circuit performance?

A: The extended temperature rating of substitute parts (up to 125°C) does not affect performance in circuits designed for the original 105°C maximum. The substitutes provide additional thermal margin, allowing operation in higher-ambient or higher-dissipation environments without derating.

Q: Are all three parts compliant with industry regulations?

A: Yes. All parts—160475K63N-F, DME1W4P7K-F, and B32523Q1475K000—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for industrial and commercial applications.
