Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution relationships for the 167154J63A-F are determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (0.15 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (minimum 63VDC for direct substitution or higher for upgraded applications), dielectric type (polyester metallized), mounting configuration (through-hole radial), and termination method (PC pins). Physical dimensions and lead spacing are secondary compatibility considerations that depend on circuit board layout constraints.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Similar Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications (0.15 µF, ±5%, 63VDC, polyester metallized dielectric, through-hole radial, PC pins) while offering variations in physical dimensions and lead spacing. These parts are fully substitutable when circuit board layout accommodates dimensional differences.

Upgraded Equivalent provides higher voltage rating (100VDC) with identical capacitance and tolerance, suitable for applications requiring enhanced voltage headroom or operating in higher-voltage circuits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (Equivalent Replacement)

The 168154J63C-F (CDE Series 168) is a direct electrical equivalent with identical capacitance (0.15 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage rating (63VDC), temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and RoHS3 compliance. This part differs only in physical dimensions and lead spacing (0.197" vs. 0.295"). Use this substitute when circuit board layout accommodates the smaller 5.00mm lead spacing and reduced dimensions (7.20mm L x 3.50mm W).

The B32529C0154J000 and B32529C0154J289 (EPCOS/TDK) are electrical equivalents with identical capacitance, tolerance, and voltage rating. Both feature AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and stacked metallized dielectric construction. The B32529C0154J289 is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging instead of bulk. These parts accommodate 5.00mm lead spacing.

Upgraded Substitution (Enhanced Performance)

The B32520C1154J000 (EPCOS/TDK) provides upgraded voltage rating of 100VDC while maintaining 0.15 µF capacitance and ±5% tolerance. This part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and maintains 7.50mm lead spacing compatibility with the original 167154J63A-F footprint. Use this upgrade when circuits require higher voltage margin or for automotive applications.

All substitute parts share the same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), mounting type (through-hole radial), and RoHS3 compliance status as the 167154J63A-F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I substitute the 168154J63C-F for the 167154J63A-F?

Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 0.15 µF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 63VDC rating, and polyester metallized dielectric. The primary difference is lead spacing: 168154J63C-F uses 5.00mm spacing versus 7.50mm on the 167154J63A-F. Substitution is valid only when circuit board layouts accommodate the tighter lead spacing and smaller physical dimensions (7.20mm L x 3.50mm W vs. 10.50mm L x 3.50mm W).

Is the B32520C1154J000 compatible with applications designed for the 167154J63A-F?

Yes, with engineering review. The B32520C1154J000 maintains identical capacitance (0.15 µF) and tolerance (±5%), with a higher voltage rating (100VDC vs. 63VDC). This upgrade is suitable for circuits where increased voltage headroom improves reliability. Lead spacing matches the original part (7.50mm), ensuring footprint compatibility. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is available on this upgrade.

What is the difference between the B32529C0154J000 and B32529C0154J289?

Both parts are electrically identical with 0.15 µF capacitance, ±5% tolerance, 63VDC rating, and AEC-Q200 qualification. The only difference is packaging: B32529C0154J000 is supplied in bulk, while B32529C0154J289 is supplied in cut tape format. Lead spacing and physical dimensions are identical (5.00mm lead spacing). Select packaging based on manufacturing assembly requirements.

Can I use EPCOS/TDK parts as direct replacements for the CDE 167154J63A-F?

EPCOS/TDK B3252 series parts (B32520C1154J000, B32529C0154J000, B32529C0154J289) are electrically compatible with identical capacitance and tolerance specifications. These parts feature stacked metallized dielectric construction and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Substitution is valid; however, consider lead spacing differences when selecting between 7.50mm spacing (B32520C1154J000) and 5.00mm spacing (B32529C0154J000 and B32529C0154J289).

Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

Yes. The 167154J63A-F and all listed substitutes meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. REACH compliance is unaffected for all parts listed.
