Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DMM6S15K-F is determined by strict alignment with the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Requirements (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 0.015 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 630V DC minimum and 250V AC minimum
• Tolerance: ±10% or tighter
• Dielectric: Polyester, metallized construction

Mechanical Requirements (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting configuration: Through-hole radial
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) for PCB hole pattern compatibility
• Termination type: PC pins

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance mandatory
• REACH unaffected status required

The substitute part QXK2J153KTP from Nichicon satisfies all critical electrical parameters (0.015 µF, 630V DC, 250V AC, ±10% tolerance, polyester metallized dielectric) and mechanical requirements (through-hole radial, 10.00mm lead spacing, PC pins). Physical dimensions differ within acceptable limits for radial film capacitors. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (DMM6S15K-F): Select the DMM6S15K-F when the extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is required for the application. This part provides the widest thermal operating window and is the original design specification. Current inventory of 802 units supports immediate availability.

Substitute Part Selection (QXK2J153KTP): The QXK2J153KTP from Nichicon is electrically and mechanically equivalent for applications operating within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range. This substitute is suitable when:

• Application operating temperature does not require the extended -55°C lower limit
• Application operating temperature does not require operation above 105°C
• Inventory or lead time constraints necessitate alternative sourcing
• PCB layout accommodates the physically smaller envelope (13.50mm x 4.70mm vs. 14.00mm x 6.50mm)

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance (0.015 µF, 630V DC, 250V AC, ±10% tolerance) and mechanical compatibility (10.00mm lead spacing, through-hole radial, PC pins). Both satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected requirements.

Critical Consideration: Verify application operating temperature requirements before substitution. If the application requires operation below -40°C or above 105°C, the DMM6S15K-F is the only qualified option from this substitute group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can QXK2J153KTP replace DMM6S15K-F in any application?

A: QXK2J153KTP is electrically and mechanically equivalent for applications with operating temperatures between -40°C and 105°C. If your application requires operation below -40°C or above 105°C, the DMM6S15K-F is required. Both parts have identical capacitance (0.015 µF), voltage ratings (630V DC / 250V AC), tolerance (±10%), and lead spacing (10.00mm).

Q: Will the smaller physical dimensions of QXK2J153KTP cause PCB layout issues?

A: The QXK2J153KTP is physically smaller (13.50mm x 4.70mm vs. 14.00mm x 6.50mm) but maintains the same 10.00mm lead spacing. PCB hole patterns designed for the DMM6S15K-F will accommodate the QXK2J153KTP without modification. Verify available board space if component height is constrained (10.80mm vs. 11.50mm seated height).

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both DMM6S15K-F and QXK2J153KTP are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What is the lead spacing requirement for these capacitors?

A: Both parts have 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing. This dimension is critical for PCB compatibility and must match your circuit board hole pattern. Do not substitute parts with different lead spacing values.

Q: Can I use these capacitors interchangeably in production?

A: Interchangeability is limited by operating temperature range. For applications operating within -40°C to 105°C, QXK2J153KTP is a direct substitute. For applications requiring the full -55°C to 125°C range, only DMM6S15K-F is qualified. Document the selected part number in your bill of materials and design specifications.

Q: What dielectric material do these capacitors use?

A: Both parts use polyester metallized dielectric construction. This material provides stable capacitance across the operating temperature range and is suitable for general-purpose applications at 630V DC / 250V AC.

Q: How do I verify lead spacing on my PCB?

A: Measure the distance between the two mounting holes on your circuit board. For these radial film capacitors, the measurement should be 0.394" (10.00mm) center-to-center. Both substitute parts maintain this spacing.
