Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DPFF6P15J-F is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance: Must be 0.15 µF
• Tolerance: Must be ±5%
• Voltage Rating - DC: Minimum 630V (equal or higher acceptable)
• Voltage Rating - AC: Minimum 200V
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 1.094" (27.80mm)
• Termination: PC Pins
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part 715P15456MD3 meets the electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria with the following considerations: it maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, termination type, and mounting configuration. The DC voltage rating of 600V is 30V lower than the original specification, representing a measurable difference that may affect suitability depending on circuit design margins. Physical dimensions differ, which may impact board layout but remains compatible with through-hole mounting.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DPFF6P15J-F and 715P15456MD3 are active, ROHS3 compliant products with REACH unaffected status, confirming compliance with environmental regulations. Selection between these components should be based on the following considerations:

DPFF6P15J-F: Use when the application requires the full 630V DC rating and operates within the extended temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The DPFF series rating provides the highest voltage margin for high-voltage circuit designs.

715P15456MD3: This substitute is suitable when the circuit design operates below 600V DC and does not require operation above 85°C. The Orange Drop® 715P series offers higher inventory availability (1450 pcs versus 834 pcs) and differs in physical dimensions. Board layout changes may be necessary due to dimensional differences in length and diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 715P15456MD3 replace the DPFF6P15J-F in all applications? A: Both parts share identical capacitance, tolerance, AC voltage rating, and lead spacing. The 715P15456MD3 has a 600V DC rating instead of 630V, making it unsuitable for applications operating at voltages between 600V and 630V DC. Confirm your circuit design operates below 600V DC before substitution. Additionally, verify that the operating temperature does not exceed 85°C, as the substitute has a lower maximum temperature rating.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts? A: The DPFF6P15J-F measures 1.701" L x 0.748" W (43.20mm x 19.00mm) with a seated height of 0.748" (19.00mm). The 715P15456MD3 measures 0.709" Dia x 1.650" L (18.00mm x 41.90mm) with a seated height of 1.004" (25.50mm). Despite these differences, both are radial through-hole components with identical 1.094" (27.80mm) lead spacing, allowing PCB mounting compatibility in most applications.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant? A: Both the DPFF6P15J-F and 715P15456MD3 are ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status, confirming environmental regulation compliance.

Q: What applications are supported by the 715P15456MD3? A: The 715P15456MD3 is rated for Audio, High Frequency, Switching, High Pulse, DV/DT, and Snubber applications, whereas the DPFF6P15J-F is rated for High Pulse and DV/DT applications. This broader application range does not restrict its use as a substitute in DPFF6P15J-F applications but indicates expanded compatibility for other use cases.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs? A: Selection depends on voltage and temperature requirements. For circuits requiring 630V DC operation or temperatures above 85°C, select the DPFF6P15J-F. For applications below 600V DC and 85°C maximum temperature, either part is suitable. The 715P15456MD3 offers greater availability and the established Orange Drop® series heritage.
