Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Substitute: RL80E152MDN1KX (Nichicon)
The RL80E152MDN1KX is a direct substitute for the APSC2R5ELL152MHB5S. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1500 µF, 2.5 V, ±20%, 7 mOhm ESR, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical dimensions (0.315" Dia, 0.138" lead spacing). The primary difference is height: RL80E152MDN1KX measures 0.315" (8.00 mm) seated height versus 0.512" (13.00 mm) for the main part. This reduced height may provide board space advantages in applications where vertical clearance is constrained. Both parts are Active, RoHS3 compliant, and rated for identical ripple current performance at 100 kHz. Packaging differs (Cut Tape versus Bulk), which may affect procurement workflows.
Similar Substitute: RR50E152MDN1 (Nichicon)
The RR50E152MDN1 is a similar substitute with improved electrical performance. It maintains identical capacitance (1500 µF), voltage (2.5 V), tolerance (±20%), and lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C). The ESR is reduced to 5 mOhm (versus 7 mOhm), and ripple current capability increases to 7.22 A @ 100 kHz (versus 6.1 A). Mechanical differences include larger diameter (0.394" versus 0.315") and wider lead spacing (0.197" versus 0.138"). These dimensional changes require PCB layout modification and may not be suitable for space-constrained applications. The part is Active and RoHS3 compliant.
Parametric Equivalent: A750KR158M0EAAE007 (KEMET)
The A750KR158M0EAAE007 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications to the main part (1500 µF, 2.5 V, ±20%, 7 mOhm ESR, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C, 6.1 A @ 100 kHz). Mechanical dimensions are identical (0.315" Dia, 0.138" lead spacing, 0.512" height). This part is Active, RoHS3 compliant, and provides full functional equivalence. The primary distinction is manufacturer (KEMET versus Chemi-Con), which may be relevant for supply chain diversification or regional sourcing requirements.
All substitute parts are Active in product status and RoHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the main part.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can RL80E152MDN1KX be used as a direct replacement for APSC2R5ELL152MHB5S?
A: Yes, RL80E152MDN1KX is a direct electrical substitute. All electrical parameters are identical: 1500 µF capacitance, 2.5 V rating, ±20% tolerance, 7 mOhm ESR, and 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for lead spacing (0.138" / 3.50 mm) and diameter (0.315" / 8.00 mm). The seated height differs (0.315" versus 0.512"), which may affect PCB clearance in space-constrained designs.
Q: What is the difference between RL80E152MDN1KX and RR50E152MDN1?
A: Both are Nichicon polymer capacitors with 1500 µF, 2.5 V specifications. RL80E152MDN1KX matches the main part's 7 mOhm ESR and 6.1 A ripple current. RR50E152MDN1 offers improved performance with 5 mOhm ESR and 7.22 A ripple current capability. However, RR50E152MDN1 has larger physical dimensions (0.394" Dia, 0.197" lead spacing, 0.492" height), requiring PCB layout changes.
Q: Is A750KR158M0EAAE007 compatible with the original APSC2R5ELL152MHB5S?
A: Yes, A750KR158M0EAAE007 is fully compatible. All electrical parameters match exactly: 1500 µF, 2.5 V, ±20%, 7 mOhm ESR, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C, and 6.1 A @ 100 kHz. Physical dimensions are identical (0.315" Dia, 0.138" lead spacing, 0.512" height). The only difference is the manufacturer (KEMET versus Chemi-Con).
Q: Which substitute part should be selected for space-constrained applications?
A: RL80E152MDN1KX provides the most compact option with a seated height of 0.315" (8.00 mm), compared to 0.512" (13.00 mm) for the main part and RR50E152MDN1. Lead spacing and diameter remain compatible with the original design. Electrical performance is identical to the main part.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?
A: Yes, all substitute parts listed (RL80E152MDN1KX, RR50E152MDN1, and A750KR158M0EAAE007) are RoHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of APSC2R5ELL152MHB5S.
Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?
A: APSC2R5ELL152MHB5S is supplied in Bulk packaging. RL80E152MDN1KX is available in Cut Tape (CT) format. RR50E152MDN1 and A750KR158M0EAAE007 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement lead times and handling requirements.
Q: Can RR50E152MDN1 be used if higher ripple current capability is required?
A: Yes, RR50E152MDN1 supports 7.22 A @ 100 kHz ripple current, exceeding the 6.1 A specification of the main part. However, this substitution requires PCB layout modification due to larger physical dimensions (0.394" Dia versus 0.315", and 0.197" lead spacing versus 0.138").
Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?
A: APSC2R5ELL152MHB5S: 1084 Pcs. RL80E152MDN1KX: 1056 Pcs. RR50E152MDN1: 1527 Pcs. A750KR158M0EAAE007: 5824 Pcs. All parts are listed as New Original In Stock.
