Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 160564K400O-F with the DME6P56K-F is permissible based on the following alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.56 µF (identical)
• Capacitance tolerance: ±10% (identical)
• Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (identical)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (identical)
• Package type: Radial (identical)
• Lead spacing: 0.886 inches / 22.50 mm (identical)
• Termination: PC Pins (identical)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• REACH status: REACH Unaffected (identical)

Enhanced Parameters in Substitute: The DME6P56K-F provides increased voltage ratings (630V DC / 250V AC versus 400V DC / 200V AC) and an extended upper operating temperature limit (125°C versus 105°C). These enhancements represent upgrades that maintain backward compatibility with applications designed for the 160564K400O-F.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 160564K400O-F and DME6P56K-F are Active products manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The 160564K400O-F operates within a 400V DC / 200V AC envelope with a maximum temperature of 105°C. The DME6P56K-F provides equivalent functionality with enhanced voltage and thermal margins, operating at 630V DC / 250V AC with a maximum temperature of 125°C.

Selection between these parts depends on application voltage and thermal requirements. The 160564K400O-F is suitable for circuits operating at or below 400V DC and 105°C ambient conditions. The DME6P56K-F is appropriate for applications requiring higher voltage headroom or operation in elevated temperature environments. Both parts share identical lead spacing (22.50 mm) and radial through-hole mounting, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DME6P56K-F replace the 160564K400O-F in existing designs?

A: Yes. The DME6P56K-F is a direct substitute with identical capacitance (0.56 µF), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (polyester metallized), mounting type (through hole radial), and lead spacing (22.50 mm). The substitute provides higher voltage ratings and extended temperature range, making it suitable for all applications designed for the 160564K400O-F.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The 160564K400O-F measures 1.043" L × 0.394" W × 0.748" H (26.50 × 10.00 × 19.00 mm). The DME6P56K-F measures 1.024" L × 0.413" W × 0.787" H (26.00 × 10.50 × 20.00 mm). Both maintain the same 0.886" (22.50 mm) lead spacing for PCB compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. No compliance differences exist between the two components.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting the DME6P56K-F?

A: The DME6P56K-F provides enhanced voltage ratings (630V DC versus 400V DC) and an extended upper operating temperature limit (125°C versus 105°C), offering greater design margin in high-voltage or high-temperature applications while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core capacitance function.

Q: Are both parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: The 160564K400O-F has 871 pieces in stock. The DME6P56K-F has 1856 pieces in stock, providing greater availability for production requirements.
