Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the 168473K100C-F is structured across three distinct categories based on allowed parameter variations:

Category 1: Tolerance Upgrade (±10% to ±5%) The 168473J100C-F represents a direct tolerance upgrade from ±10% to ±5% while maintaining identical voltage ratings (100V DC / 63V AC), capacitance (0.047 µF), physical dimensions, and all other electrical specifications. This substitution is valid where tighter tolerance requirements exist.

Category 2: Direct Manufacturer Equivalents (EPCOS / TDK Electronics) Parts B32529C1473K000 and B32529C1473K289 are direct electrical equivalents manufactured by EPCOS - TDK Electronics. Both maintain ±10% tolerance, 100V DC / 63V AC ratings, and 0.047 µF capacitance. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.287" L vs. 0.283" L), and these parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Packaging variants include Bulk (B32529C1473K000) and Cut Tape (B32529C1473K289).

Category 3: Tolerance and Voltage Upgrades (±5% tolerance, 250V DC rating) Parts B32529C1473J000 and B32529C1473J289 combine tolerance upgrade (±5%) with identical 100V DC / 63V AC voltage ratings. These EPCOS parts maintain the same capacitance and operating temperature range.

Category 4: Voltage Rating Upgrades (250V DC / 160V AC) Parts B32529C3473J000, B32529C3473J289, B32529C3473K000, B32529C3473K189, and B32529C3473K289 provide elevated voltage ratings (250V DC / 160V AC) while maintaining 0.047 µF capacitance and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Physical dimensions increase (0.287" L x 0.138" W vs. 0.283" L x 0.098" W) and height increases to 0.315" (8.00mm). These parts are available in ±5% (J-suffix) and ±10% (K-suffix) tolerances with multiple packaging options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (100V DC / 63V AC Rating)

The 168473J100C-F (CDE, ±5% tolerance) provides direct substitution with improved tolerance specification. Both CDE parts maintain identical voltage ratings and physical compatibility. EPCOS B32529C1473K000 and B32529C1473K289 deliver equivalent electrical performance at 100V DC / 63V AC with ±10% tolerance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The B32529C1473J000 and B32529C1473J289 variants offer ±5% tolerance with automotive qualification.

For Voltage Rating Upgrade Applications

When circuit design permits higher voltage operation, the B32529C3473 series (250V DC / 160V AC) provides enhanced voltage margin. These parts maintain 0.047 µF capacitance and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The ±5% tolerance variants (J-suffix) deliver tighter tolerance specification. All EPCOS B32529C3473 parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance.

A: Yes. The 168473J100C-F is a direct substitute with improved tolerance (±5% vs. ±10%). All other parameters—capacitance, voltage ratings, dielectric material, operating temperature, physical dimensions, and lead spacing—remain identical. This substitution is valid for applications where tighter tolerance is acceptable or required.

Q: What is the difference between CDE and EPCOS B32529C1473 parts?

A: Both maintain identical electrical specifications at 100V DC / 63V AC with 0.047 µF capacitance. Physical dimensions differ slightly (CDE: 0.283" L; EPCOS: 0.287" L). EPCOS parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are ROHS3 compliant. Lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm) is identical, ensuring PCB compatibility.

Q: When should I use the B32529C3473 series (250V DC) instead of the 100V DC parts?

A: The B32529C3473 series is appropriate when circuit design requires higher voltage margin or when operating conditions may exceed 100V DC. Physical dimensions increase (width: 0.138" vs. 0.098"; height: 0.315" vs. 0.256"), requiring PCB layout verification. Capacitance (0.047 µF) and operating temperature range remain unchanged.

Q: Are EPCOS B32529C1473 and B32529C3473 parts interchangeable on the same PCB?

A: No. The B32529C3473 series has larger physical dimensions (0.287" L x 0.138" W x 0.315" H) compared to B32529C1473 (0.287" L x 0.098" W x 0.256" H). PCB footprint and clearance must be verified before substitution. Lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm) is identical.

Q: What packaging formats are available for high-volume production?

A: Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Box (TB) formats are available for EPCOS parts. B32529C1473K289 and B32529C1473J289 are supplied in Cut Tape. B32529C3473J289 is supplied in Tape & Box. Bulk packaging is available for all part numbers.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. EPCOS parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. CDE parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts.

Q: Can I use a ±5% tolerance part where ±10% is specified?

A: Yes. Tighter tolerance (±5%) is acceptable as a substitute for ±10% tolerance specifications. The 168473J100C-F, B32529C1473J000, B32529C1473J289, B32529C3473J000, and B32529C3473J289 all provide ±5% tolerance and are valid substitutes for the original ±10% part.
