Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DPFF6D15J-F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance value must be 1500 pF
• Tolerance must be ±5% or tighter
• DC voltage rating must be 630V or higher
• Dielectric material must be polypropylene metallized type
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 105°C

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type must be through-hole
• Package configuration must be radial
• Termination must be PC pins for PCB soldering

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance required
• REACH unaffected status required
• Product status must be Active

The B32620A6152J000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics meets all substitution criteria. While physical dimensions differ (stacked radial construction versus standard radial), both parts maintain identical electrical performance and functional compatibility within the specified parameter constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: DPFF6D15J-F The DPFF6D15J-F remains the specified component when original part availability and exact dimensional matching are required. Current inventory of 879 pieces supports immediate procurement.

Substitute Selection: B32620A6152J000 The B32620A6152J000 is a valid substitute when DPFF6D15J-F availability is constrained. This part meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. The stacked radial construction provides a more compact footprint (10.00mm L x 4.00mm W versus 19.10mm L x 10.20mm W), which may benefit space-constrained PCB layouts. Higher AC voltage rating (400V versus 200V) provides additional margin in AC applications. Inventory of 3283 pieces ensures supply continuity. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 and REACH compliance certifications.

Selection Criteria:

• Use DPFF6D15J-F when exact dimensional specifications are mandated by PCB layout
• Use B32620A6152J000 when space optimization or enhanced AC voltage margin is beneficial
• Both parts are interchangeable from electrical and regulatory perspectives

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32620A6152J000 replace DPFF6D15J-F in all applications? A: Yes, from an electrical and functional standpoint. Both parts deliver 1500 pF capacitance at 630V DC with identical tolerance, temperature range, and dielectric properties. Physical dimensions differ due to stacked construction, so PCB layout verification is required.

Q: What is the difference between standard radial and stacked radial construction? A: Standard radial (DPFF6D15J-F) uses a single cylindrical element. Stacked radial (B32620A6152J000) uses multiple thin layers stacked together, resulting in a smaller footprint. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory status is identical.

Q: Does the higher AC voltage rating of B32620A6152J000 affect DC operation? A: No. The 400V AC rating on the substitute does not impact DC performance. Both parts operate at 630V DC identically. The higher AC rating provides additional safety margin in AC applications.

Q: What should be verified before substituting these parts? A: Verify PCB layout accommodates the different physical dimensions. The B32620A6152J000 is significantly smaller (10.00mm x 4.00mm versus 19.10mm x 10.20mm) and may require lead spacing adjustment from 7.50mm to 9.50mm.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high pulse and DV/DT applications? A: Yes. Both DPFF6D15J-F and B32620A6152J000 are specified for high pulse and DV/DT applications with polypropylene metallized dielectric construction.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level difference? A: DPFF6D15J-F carries MSL 1 (Unlimited). B32620A6152J000 is listed as Not Applicable, indicating no moisture sensitivity concern. This does not affect substitution eligibility.
