Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DME6P82K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 0.82 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (defines acceptable capacitance range)
• Voltage Rating (DC): 630V (minimum requirement for circuit protection)
• Voltage Rating (AC): 250V (defines AC application limits)
• Dielectric Material: Polyester, Metallized (determines electrical characteristics and temperature stability)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (defines thermal operating envelope)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (PCB assembly compatibility)
• Package Configuration: Radial (physical board layout constraint)
• Lead Spacing: 27.50mm (PCB footprint compatibility)
• Termination Style: PC Pins (solder connection method)

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above. Deviations in any parameter render a part incompatible for direct substitution.
