8TPC150M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 8TPC150M is a 150 µF molded tantalum polymer capacitor rated at 8 V in a 2917 (7343 Metric) surface mount package, manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components as part of the POSCAP™ TPC series. This component is designated as Last Time Buy, indicating discontinued production status. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 8TPC150M is determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (150 µF), package footprint (2917 / 7343 Metric), mounting type (surface mount), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and RoHS3 compliance. Substitute parts must maintain identical or superior electrical performance within the same physical envelope.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

10TPE150MPL (Panasonic): Maintains identical capacitance, package, and mounting type. Voltage rating increased to 10 V with improved ESR (25 mOhm @ 100kHz) and confirmed lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C). Product status is Active.

T520V157M008ATE040 (KEMET): Maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating (8 V), package, ESR (40 mOhm @ 100kHz), and mounting type. Includes confirmed lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 specification. Product status is Active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement with identical electrical specifications: T520V157M008ATE040 (KEMET) provides an exact match in capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, and package dimensions. This part maintains the same 8 V rating and 40 mOhm ESR as the original 8TPC150M while offering Active product status and confirmed lifetime rating.

For improved performance with higher voltage margin: 10TPE150MPL (Panasonic) offers the same manufacturer lineage as the original part with upgraded voltage rating (10 V) and reduced ESR (25 mOhm @ 100kHz). This substitution provides enhanced reliability margin and lower impedance characteristics while maintaining identical physical footprint and capacitance.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and support the full operating temperature range of the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 10TPE150MPL be used in place of 8TPC150M? A: Yes. The 10TPE150MPL maintains identical capacitance (150 µF), package (2917 / 7343 Metric), and mounting type. The increased voltage rating (10 V vs. 8 V) and reduced ESR (25 mOhm vs. 40 mOhm) provide improved performance margin and are compatible with circuits designed for the original 8 V part.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts? A: T520V157M008ATE040 matches the original 8TPC150M exactly in voltage rating and ESR. 10TPE150MPL offers higher voltage rating and lower ESR from the same manufacturer as the original part. Both are Active products with confirmed lifetime ratings.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts? A: The package footprint (2917 / 7343 Metric) and length/width dimensions (7.30mm x 4.30mm) are identical. Height varies slightly: 8TPC150M (2.00mm), 10TPE150MPL (3.00mm), and T520V157M008ATE040 (1.90mm). Verify clearance in your specific PCB layout.

Q: Do all parts meet RoHS compliance? A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these parts? A: The original 8TPC150M does not specify MSL. T520V157M008ATE040 is rated MSL 3 (168 Hours). 10TPE150MPL does not specify MSL in the provided data.
