Physical dimensions and lead spacing may vary within the radial through-hole package category while maintaining functional interchangeability in standard PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct replacement of the 167683K100A-F in general purpose applications.

DMT1S68K-F (Cornell Dubilier Electronics): This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications with a slightly higher AC voltage rating of 65V. Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier (CDE) and share the same series dielectric construction. Physical dimensions are larger, with lead spacing of 0.421" compared to 0.295" on the main part. This substitute is suitable for applications where PCB layout accommodates the larger package footprint.

B32529C1683K189 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics): This substitute provides equivalent electrical performance with identical DC and AC voltage ratings. The dielectric construction uses polyethylene terephthalate (PET) metallized film in a stacked radial configuration. Physical dimensions are smaller, with lead spacing of 0.197" compared to 0.295" on the main part. This substitute is suitable for space-constrained applications and automotive environments. All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DMT1S68K-F replace 167683K100A-F in any application?

A: Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the larger physical dimensions. The DMT1S68K-F has a lead spacing of 0.421" versus 0.295" on the 167683K100A-F. Verify that the larger package footprint (14.20mm L x 7.00mm W) fits within the available board space.

Q: What is the difference between the dielectric materials in these substitutes?

A: The 167683K100A-F and DMT1S68K-F use polyester metallized film. The B32529C1683K189 uses polyethylene terephthalate (PET) metallized film in a stacked radial configuration. Both polyester and PET are polyester-based materials with equivalent electrical performance for this application.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The B32529C1683K189 is specifically listed for automotive applications. The 167683K100A-F and DMT1S68K-F are classified for general purpose use. Automotive-specific qualification requirements should be confirmed with application requirements.

Q: Does the AC voltage rating difference between 63V and 65V affect substitution?

A: No. The DMT1S68K-F has a 65V AC rating, which exceeds the 63V AC requirement of the 167683K100A-F. Higher voltage ratings provide equivalent or improved performance in the same application.

Q: What is the significance of lead spacing differences?

A: Lead spacing determines PCB hole pattern compatibility. The 167683K100A-F has 0.295" (7.50mm) spacing, DMT1S68K-F has 0.421" (10.70mm) spacing, and B32529C1683K189 has 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing. Verify that the substitute part's lead spacing matches the PCB design before installation.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts (167683K100A-F, DMT1S68K-F, and B32529C1683K189) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
