• Tolerance: ±10% (exact match)
• Voltage Rating (DC): 500V (exact match)
• Dielectric Material: Polymer, Metallized (exact match)
• ESR: 11 mOhms (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match)
• Package / Case: 8-SMD, Gull Wing (exact match)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.701" L x 0.625" W / 17.80mm x 15.90mm (exact match)
• Height (Seated Max): 0.319" / 8.10mm (exact match)
• Lead Spacing: 0.591" / 15.00mm (exact match)
• Termination: Gull Wing (exact match)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 4 (exact match)

The substitute part 474K500CS6G differs from the main part number only in packaging designation and inventory availability, maintaining complete parametric equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 474K500CS6G-FA and 474K500CS6G are Active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and procurement requirements rather than technical performance differences.

The 474K500CS6G-FA is suitable for applications where the specific packaging designation is required or when inventory of 1111 pieces meets project lead time and volume requirements.

The 474K500CS6G serves as a direct substitute with significantly higher inventory availability (22700 pieces), making it the preferred choice for high-volume production runs or when extended lead times must be minimized. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent reliability and environmental performance in DC link, DC filtering, and high-frequency switching applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
