Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Würth Elektronik 865080340002 and Nichicon UUD1C150MCL1GS are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming their suitability for equivalent substitution.

The Nichicon UUD1C150MCL1GS carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating enhanced reliability screening and suitability for automotive applications. The Würth Elektronik part is specified for general purpose applications.

Height difference of 0.023" (0.60 mm) between the two parts must be evaluated against specific PCB layout constraints and clearance requirements. The Nichicon part exhibits lower impedance (1.8 Ohms versus 2 Ohms) and lower ripple current rating at 120 Hz (40 mA versus 55.25 mA), which may be relevant for specific circuit performance requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements including thermal environment, ripple current demands, and available board clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Nichicon UUD1C150MCL1GS directly replace the Würth Elektronik 865080340002?

A: Yes. Both parts match in capacitance (15 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), case diameter (4.00 mm), and land size (4.30 mm x 4.30 mm). Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1.

Q: What is the height difference between these parts?

A: The Würth Elektronik part has a maximum seated height of 0.217" (5.50 mm), while the Nichicon part measures 0.240" (6.10 mm). This 0.023" (0.60 mm) difference must be verified against PCB layout clearance requirements before substitution.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance?

A: The Nichicon part has lower impedance (1.8 Ohms versus 2 Ohms) and lower ripple current rating at 120 Hz (40 mA versus 55.25 mA). These differences should be evaluated against circuit requirements for power supply filtering or signal coupling applications.

Q: What certifications does each part carry?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant. The Nichicon UUD1C150MCL1GS additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The Würth Elektronik part is specified for general purpose applications.

Q: Are the surface mount land patterns identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical surface mount land size of 0.169" L x 0.169" W (4.30 mm x 4.30 mm), confirming PCB footprint compatibility.
