• Lead spacing: 0.886" (22.50mm)
• Termination: PC Pins

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected status
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8532.25.0070

The substitute part 154MPR630K meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, dielectric material, mounting configuration, and lead spacing. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable limits for the same PCB footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 154MPR630K is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the DPM6P15K-F. Both components are manufactured within the Cornell Dubilier family and maintain identical electrical specifications across capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and dielectric composition. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

The 154MPR630K offers a lower physical profile (0.669" seated height versus 0.827"), which may provide advantages in space-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining the same lead spacing and footprint compatibility. The documented ESR specification of 1.179 Ohms for the substitute part provides additional performance data for circuit analysis in high-frequency switching and DC filtering applications.

Both parts are in active production status with established supply chains. The substitute part demonstrates higher current inventory availability (1233 pieces versus 845 pieces), which may influence procurement decisions based on lead time requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 154MPR630K be used as a direct replacement for the DPM6P15K-F in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 154MPR630K meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. Identical capacitance (0.15 µF), voltage rating (630V DC), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), lead spacing (0.886"), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial) ensure compatibility with existing PCB designs and circuit requirements.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences that affect PCB assembly?

A: The 154MPR630K has a lower seated height (0.669" versus 0.827") and slightly narrower width (0.433" versus 0.472"). These differences do not affect PCB hole pattern compatibility, as lead spacing remains identical at 0.886" (22.50mm). The lower profile may provide clearance advantages in compact layouts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the DPM6P15K-F and 154MPR630K are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code (8532.25.0070). Both parts have MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the ESR specification provided for the 154MPR630K?

A: The ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 1.179 Ohms for the 154MPR630K provides documented performance data for high-frequency and switching applications. This specification is useful for circuit designers performing impedance analysis and power loss calculations in DC link and DC filtering circuits. The absence of ESR specification for the DPM6P15K-F does not indicate performance difference; it reflects different manufacturer documentation practices.

Q: Are both parts suitable for DC link and DC filtering applications?

A: Yes. Both components are specified for DC link and DC filtering applications in high-frequency switching circuits. The 630V DC rating, polypropylene metallized dielectric, and low ESR characteristics of both parts support these applications across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: The 154MPR630K currently has higher inventory availability (1233 pieces versus 845 pieces). Selection based on availability depends on procurement timelines and supply chain requirements. Both parts are in active production status with established supply channels.
