Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DPFF4D47J-F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance value: 4700 pF (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 400V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 200V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match)
• Lead Spacing: 0.374" to 0.375" (9.50mm to 9.52mm tolerance range)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant (mandatory)
• REACH Unaffected (mandatory)

The substitute part 715P47254JD3 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Dimensional variations in body size and height do not affect circuit functionality when lead spacing and mounting type remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: DPFF4D47J-F

The DPFF4D47J-F remains the preferred selection when available. This part is active in production with 1086 units in current inventory. It provides the widest operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and is specified for high pulse and DV/DT applications. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

Substitute Part: 715P47254JD3

The 715P47254JD3 (Orange Drop® 715P series) is a direct electrical equivalent with identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage ratings, and dielectric material. This part is also active in production with 986 units in inventory. The lead spacing of 0.375" (9.52mm) is within acceptable tolerance of the primary part's 0.374" (9.50mm) specification, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

The operating temperature range of the substitute extends to 85°C maximum, which is 20°C lower than the primary part. This difference is not a substitution barrier for applications operating within the -55°C to 85°C envelope. Applications requiring operation above 85°C must use the primary DPFF4D47J-F part.

Both parts carry identical RoHS3 and REACH compliance certifications, confirming suitability for regulated manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 715P47254JD3 be used as a direct replacement for DPFF4D47J-F in all applications?

A: The 715P47254JD3 is electrically and mechanically equivalent for applications operating within -55°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation above 85°C must use DPFF4D47J-F, which is rated to 105°C.

Q: Are the physical dimensions of these parts interchangeable on a PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts are radial through-hole capacitors with compatible lead spacing (0.374" vs 0.375"). The body dimensions differ (DPFF4D47J-F: 0.752" L x 0.402" W; 715P47254JD3: 0.339" Dia x 0.701" L), but these variations do not affect PCB mounting compatibility when lead spacing is within tolerance.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both DPFF4D47J-F and 715P47254JD3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the tolerance range for lead spacing between these parts?

A: DPFF4D47J-F specifies 0.374" (9.50mm) and 715P47254JD3 specifies 0.375" (9.52mm). The 0.02mm difference is within standard PCB design tolerances and does not affect mounting compatibility.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high pulse and DV/DT applications?

A: Both parts are specified for high pulse and DV/DT applications. The 715P47254JD3 is additionally rated for audio, high frequency, switching, and snubber applications. Electrical performance in high pulse environments is equivalent between the two parts.

Q: What inventory status should influence part selection?

A: DPFF4D47J-F has 1086 units in stock; 715P47254JD3 has 986 units in stock. Both parts are active in production. Selection should prioritize the primary part when available, with the substitute used when primary inventory is depleted or when packaging format (bulk vs. standard) aligns with manufacturing requirements.
