Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 6SW150MDR1-ND is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 150 µF
• Voltage rating: 6.3 V
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Component type: Aluminum Polymer
• ESR specification: 9mOhm
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Package format: 2917 (7343 Metric)
• Mounting configuration: Surface Mount

The EEF-SX0J151ER from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all these criteria and is classified as an equivalent substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EEF-SX0J151ER is a direct electrical equivalent to the 6SW150MDR1-ND across all specified parameters. The Panasonic component carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support, whereas the Rubycon part is designated Not For New Designs. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements. The primary physical difference is the seated height: the Panasonic substitute measures 0.079" (2.00mm) maximum versus 0.114" (2.90mm) for the Rubycon original. This reduced height may provide advantages in space-constrained applications while maintaining full electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EEF-SX0J151ER be used as a direct replacement for the 6SW150MDR1-ND?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 150 µF capacitance, 6.3 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, 9mOhm ESR, and 2000 hour lifetime at 105°C. Both are packaged in 2917 (7343 Metric) format for surface mount assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The EEF-SX0J151ER has a maximum seated height of 0.079" (2.00mm) compared to 0.114" (2.90mm) for the 6SW150MDR1-ND. This difference does not affect electrical performance and may be beneficial in applications with height constraints. PCB layout and clearance requirements should be verified for your specific design.

Q: Why is the 6SW150MDR1-ND marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the Rubycon part is in end-of-life status. The EEF-SX0J151ER, with Active product status, is the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing production requiring this capacitor specification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 6SW150MDR1-ND and EEF-SX0J151ER are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated surface mount assembly processes.
