Part Overview

The 167472J400A-F is a 4700 pF film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the 167 series. This radial through-hole component operates at 400V DC / 200V AC with polyester metallized dielectric construction. The part is Active in product status with 815 units currently in stock. Film capacitors of this specification are used in general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance, low ESR, and reliable performance across extended temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, dielectric materials, and mechanical compatibility parameters are matched.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 167472J400A-F is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

Capacitance value: 4700 pF (exact match)
Tolerance: ±5% (exact match)
Voltage rating DC: 400V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
Voltage rating AC: 200V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
Dielectric material: Polyester, Metallized (functional equivalence)
Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (minimum requirement; wider ranges acceptable)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match)
Package type: Radial (exact match)
Termination: PC Pins (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

RoHS3 Compliant (mandatory for substitution)
REACH Unaffected (maintained across all substitutes)

The identified substitute parts meet all electrical and mechanical parameters. Dimensional variations are acceptable provided the component fits within the PCB layout constraints of the original design.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

B32529C6472J000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics, Bulk Packaging):

This substitute meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. The part is Active in product status with 32,171 units in stock. The EPCOS B3252* series is rated for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 certification, indicating enhanced reliability for demanding environments. The reduced lead spacing (5.00mm vs. 7.50mm) requires PCB layout verification but does not affect electrical performance. This option provides the highest inventory availability.

B32529C6472J289 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics, Cut Tape Packaging):

This substitute is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the main part. The part is Active in product status with 2,560 units in stock. Packaging is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format rather than Bulk, suitable for automated assembly processes. The AEC-Q200 automotive rating and identical electrical specifications apply. Lead spacing is 5.00mm, requiring PCB layout confirmation. This option is appropriate for production environments utilizing tape-and-reel component handling.

Both EPCOS substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between B32529C6472J000 and B32529C6472J289 depends on packaging requirements and assembly methodology rather than electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32529C6472J000 or B32529C6472J289 be used as direct replacements for 167472J400A-F?

A: Yes. Both EPCOS parts meet the electrical specifications (4700 pF, ±5%, 400V DC, 200V AC) and mechanical requirements (through-hole radial, PC pins). The primary consideration is lead spacing: EPCOS parts have 5.00mm spacing versus 7.50mm for the CDE part. PCB layout must accommodate this difference.

Q: What is the difference between B32529C6472J000 and B32529C6472J289?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: B32529C6472J000 is supplied in Bulk; B32529C6472J289 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). Select based on assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there temperature or voltage derating considerations when substituting?

A: No. All three parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and voltage ratings (400V DC, 200V AC). Electrical performance is equivalent within the specified tolerance of ±5%.

Q: Does the lead spacing difference affect circuit performance?

A: Lead spacing affects PCB layout and mechanical fit only. Electrical performance is not affected. Verify that the 5.00mm spacing of EPCOS parts accommodates your PCB hole pattern before implementation.

Q: Are all parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. The 167472J400A-F and both EPCOS substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Q: Which substitute has better availability?

A: B32529C6472J000 has the highest inventory (32,171 units) compared to B32529C6472J289 (2,560 units) and the main part (815 units).
