Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6TPE150M are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The primary substitution criteria are:

• Capacitance value: 150 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
• ESR specification: 25 mOhm @ 100kHz (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2917 (7343 Metric) (exact match required)
• Type: Molded Tantalum Polymer (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ Temp.: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)

The KEMET T520V157M006ATE025 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, making it a direct functional equivalent. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical performance characteristics within the specified operating conditions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6TPE150M and T520V157M006ATE025 are active products with identical electrical specifications and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging format availability: The 6TPE150M is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the T520V157M006ATE025 is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Choose based on assembly line requirements and inventory management practices.
• Physical height clearance: The KEMET part has a maximum seated height of 0.075" (1.90mm) compared to 0.079" (2.00mm) for the Panasonic part. Verify PCB layout constraints if height is a critical design factor.
• Supply chain continuity: Both manufacturers maintain active product status, ensuring long-term availability for production and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the T520V157M006ATE025 be used as a direct replacement for the 6TPE150M?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (150 µF, 6.3 V, 25 mOhm ESR @ 100kHz), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and package dimensions (2917 / 7343 Metric). The maximum seated height differs by 0.004" (0.10mm), which is negligible for most applications. Verify PCB layout if height clearance is constrained.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) and maximum seated height (0.079" vs. 0.075"). Electrical performance and reliability specifications are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 6TPE150M and T520V157M006ATE025 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available for each part?

A: The 6TPE150M is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The T520V157M006ATE025 is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Select based on your assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations?

A: The KEMET T520V157M006ATE025 has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 3 (168 Hours). Verify storage and handling procedures align with your manufacturing environment.
