DPFF6S15J-F Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DPFF6S15J-F is a 0.015 µF film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) with a 630V DC voltage rating and ±5% tolerance. This radial polypropylene metallized capacitor operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and is designed for high pulse and DV/DT applications. The part is currently active in production with 643 units in stock and carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Substitute parts are identified when the main part is unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when application requirements permit operation at different voltage or temperature specifications within the same capacitance and tolerance class.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DPFF6S15J-F is determined by the following core parameters: capacitance value (0.015 µF), tolerance (±5%), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), mounting type (through hole radial), and termination style (PC pins). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on voltage rating compatibility:

Category 1 - Voltage Derating: The 715P15356KD3 operates at 600V DC, which is 30V lower than the main part's 630V rating. This part is suitable for applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed 600V DC.

Category 2 - Voltage Equivalent with Dimensional Variation: The B32620A6153J000 maintains the 630V DC rating and extends the AC voltage rating to 400V. This part uses a stacked radial construction, resulting in different physical dimensions and lead spacing (0.295" versus 0.374").

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status from their respective manufacturers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DPFF6S15J-F (Primary Selection)

The DPFF6S15J-F remains the primary selection when circuit design specifications require 630V DC operation with a maximum operating temperature of 105°C. This part is actively manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics with 643 units currently in stock. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications.

715P15356KD3 (Voltage-Derated Substitute)

The 715P15356KD3 is suitable for applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed 600V DC. This part operates at a reduced maximum temperature of 85°C, which restricts its use to environments where ambient temperature plus component self-heating does not exceed this limit. The Orange Drop® 715P series is actively produced with 1,801 units in stock. Lead spacing matches the main part at 0.374" (9.50mm), permitting direct PCB layout compatibility. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.

B32620A6153J000 (Voltage-Equivalent Substitute with Dimensional Constraints)

The B32620A6153J000 maintains the 630V DC rating and extends AC voltage capability to 400V, matching the main part's operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. This EPCOS - TDK Electronics part uses stacked radial construction, resulting in significantly different physical dimensions and a reduced lead spacing of 0.295" (7.50mm). PCB layout modification is required for this substitute. The part is actively manufactured with 5,291 units in stock and carries ROHS3 compliance.

Selection between the 715P15356KD3 and B32620A6153J000 depends on circuit voltage requirements and available PCB layout space. The 715P15356KD3 accommodates existing through-hole spacing without modification. The B32620A6153J000 requires PCB redesign but offers compact dimensions and full voltage rating equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 715P15356KD3 be used in place of the DPFF6S15J-F in all applications?

A: The 715P15356KD3 is suitable only for applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed 600V DC. The 30V voltage derating must be evaluated against the circuit's maximum operating voltage. Additionally, the maximum operating temperature is reduced to 85°C, which may restrict use in high-temperature environments. If the circuit operates at 630V DC or requires sustained operation above 85°C, this substitute is not appropriate.

Q: What are the physical differences between these three parts?

A: The DPFF6S15J-F measures 0.949" L x 0.500" W with a lead spacing of 0.374" (9.50mm). The 715P15356KD3 measures 0.421" Dia x 0.902" L with the same 0.374" (9.50mm) lead spacing, making it compatible with existing PCB layouts. The B32620A6153J000 is the most compact at 0.406" L x 0.236" W but uses a reduced lead spacing of 0.295" (7.50mm), requiring PCB modification.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all three parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming regulatory alignment for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected if PCB layout cannot be modified?

A: The 715P15356KD3 maintains the same lead spacing of 0.374" (9.50mm) as the main part and can be installed without PCB modification. However, the 600V DC rating must be verified as acceptable for the circuit design. If 630V DC operation is required and PCB modification is not possible, neither substitute is appropriate.

Q: Can the B32620A6153J000 be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes, the B32620A6153J000 operates across the same temperature range as the main part (-55°C to 105°C), making it suitable for high-temperature applications. However, its use requires PCB layout modification due to the different lead spacing of 0.295" (7.50mm).

Q: What is the difference between the stacked radial construction of the B32620A6153J000 and the standard radial construction of the other parts?

A: Stacked radial construction uses multiple capacitor elements arranged vertically within the same package, resulting in a more compact form factor. The B32620A6153J000 achieves smaller overall dimensions while maintaining the same electrical specifications. This construction method does not affect electrical performance but requires different PCB footprint design.
