Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 24FB4460-F Film Capacitor

Part Overview

The 24FB4460-F is a 60 µF film capacitor rated for 440V AC operation, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the MPF series. This component is designed for motor run and power factor correction (PFC) applications in industrial equipment. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing.

Film capacitors in this specification class are used in AC motor circuits where stable capacitance, low dissipation factor, and reliable performance across extended temperature ranges are required. The polypropylene dielectric with metallized construction provides self-healing characteristics suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 24FB4460-F are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic is organized into two categories:

Parametric Equivalent (Direct Replacement): Parts that maintain identical electrical specifications (60 µF, ±10%, 440V AC) and mechanical dimensions (2.625" diameter, 5.000" height, 0.813" lead spacing). These parts are interchangeable without circuit modification.

Direct Manufacturer Equivalent (Functional Substitute): Parts that maintain identical electrical specifications but with minor dimensional variations within acceptable mechanical tolerances. These parts require verification of physical fit within the equipment chassis or holder bracket.

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Capacitance value: 60 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 440V AC (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 70°C (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount, Requires Holder/Bracket (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Termination: Quick Connect, Disconnect (exact match required)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): The 24FB4460A-F is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 24FB4460-F. Both parts are from the same MPF series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including diameter (2.625"), height (5.000"), and lead spacing (0.813"). The 24FB4460A-F is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited). This part requires no circuit modification and provides direct mechanical and electrical compatibility.

For Alternative Sourcing: The SFT44T60K475B-F from the SF series provides functional equivalence with identical electrical specifications. Minor dimensional variations exist: diameter is 2.620" (0.005" smaller), height is 4.870" (0.130" shorter), and lead spacing is 0.810" (0.003" smaller). These variations fall within standard mechanical tolerances for chassis-mounted capacitor holders. The SFT44T60K475B-F is currently in active production and ROHS3 compliant. Physical fit verification within the equipment holder bracket is required before installation.

Compliance Considerations: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. The 24FB4460A-F and SFT44T60K475B-F are both active products with established supply chains, reducing obsolescence risk compared to the original 24FB4460-F.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 24FB4460A-F be used as a direct replacement for the 24FB4460-F? A: Yes. The 24FB4460A-F is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (60 µF), voltage rating (440V AC), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-40°C to 70°C), and mechanical dimensions (2.625" diameter, 5.000" height, 0.813" lead spacing). No circuit modification is required.

Q: What are the dimensional differences between the 24FB4460-F and SFT44T60K475B-F? A: The SFT44T60K475B-F has minor dimensional variations: diameter is 0.005" smaller (2.620" vs. 2.625"), height is 0.130" shorter (4.870" vs. 5.000"), and lead spacing is 0.003" smaller (0.810" vs. 0.813"). These variations are within standard mechanical tolerances for radial can capacitors.

Q: Does the SFT44T60K475B-F require any modifications for installation? A: Physical fit verification within the equipment's capacitor holder bracket is required. The dimensional variations are minor but should be confirmed against the specific holder design before installation.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. The 24FB4460A-F and SFT44T60K475B-F are both ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original 24FB4460-F.

Q: What is the difference between the MPF and SF series? A: Both series are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and meet the specified electrical and mechanical requirements for this application. The MPF series (24FB4460-F and 24FB4460A-F) and SF series (SFT44T60K475B-F) are distinct product lines with minor dimensional variations but identical electrical performance.

Q: Which substitute part has the best long-term availability? A: Both the 24FB4460A-F and SFT44T60K475B-F are currently in active production status, ensuring sustained availability. The 24FB4460A-F is recommended as the primary choice due to identical mechanical dimensions.

Q: Can these capacitors be used in motor run and power factor correction applications? A: Yes. All three parts are rated for motor run and power factor correction (PFC) applications. The 60 µF capacitance, 440V AC rating, and polypropylene dielectric are suitable for these industrial applications.
