Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 715P15454LD3 is qualified as an equivalent based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Electrical Specifications:

• Capacitance: 0.15 µF (identical)
• Tolerance: ±5% (identical)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 400V (identical)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 200V (identical)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Termination: PC Pins (identical)
• Lead Spacing: 0.720" (18.30mm) (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

Key Difference:

• Operating Temperature Range: 715P15454LD3 rated to 85°C maximum versus DPFF4P15J-F rated to 105°C

This temperature differential does not preclude substitution in applications operating within the 715P15454LD3 maximum range of -55°C to 85°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DPFF4P15J-F and 715P15454LD3 maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected designation, confirming current manufacturing availability and environmental conformance.

The 715P15454LD3 substitute is suitable for applications where the operating temperature requirement does not exceed 85°C. Where continuous operation approaches or exceeds 85°C, the DPFF4P15J-F is required to ensure margin to the maximum rated temperature of 105°C.

Lead spacing and through-hole termination are identical, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 715P15454LD3 be used in place of DPFF4P15J-F in all applications? A: The 715P15454LD3 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the DPFF4P15J-F when operating temperature remains below 85°C. Applications requiring operation at temperatures between 85°C and 105°C require the DPFF4P15J-F.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible? A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing of 0.720" (18.30mm), radial package configuration, and PC pin termination. Direct PCB replacement is possible without modification.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements? A: Yes. Both the DPFF4P15J-F and 715P15454LD3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and supply chain regulations.

Q: What are the key electrical parameters for substitution? A: Substitution is based on matching capacitance (0.15 µF), tolerance (±5%), voltage ratings (400V DC / 200V AC), dielectric type (polypropylene metallized), and lead spacing (0.720"). Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Why does the temperature rating differ between parts? A: The temperature rating difference reflects design and manufacturing variations between the DPFF and Orange Drop® 715P series. Selection between them depends on application thermal requirements.
