DPP2S15K-F

Part Overview

The DPP2S15K-F is a 0.015 µF film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), featuring polypropylene (PP) metallized dielectric construction with radial through-hole mounting. This component is classified as Active in product status and is designed for high-frequency and switching applications requiring low ESR characteristics. Alternative models may be required to accommodate different electrical specifications, compliance requirements, or inventory constraints while maintaining functional compatibility within circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DPP2S15K-F with alternative parts is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance value must remain 0.015 µF (mandatory)
• Dielectric material must be Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (mandatory for application suitability)
• Mounting type must be Through Hole with Radial configuration (mandatory for board compatibility)

Secondary Substitution Criteria:

• Voltage ratings must equal or exceed the original specifications (DC ≥ 250V, AC ≥ 140V)
• Tolerance specification affects circuit precision requirements
• Operating temperature range must accommodate application environment
• Lead spacing within acceptable tolerance for through-hole PCB layouts
• RoHS3 compliance required for regulatory conformance

The 715P15352JD3 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching capacitance value, dielectric material type, and mounting configuration, with the understanding that its lower voltage ratings and temperature range represent design trade-offs within acceptable substitution parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DPP2S15K-F and 715P15352JD3 maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming sustained manufacturer support and regulatory qualification. The 715P15352JD3 provides tighter tolerance specification (±5% versus ±10%), beneficial for precision-critical applications, offset by reduced maximum DC voltage rating (200V versus 250V) and lower maximum operating temperature (85°C versus 105°C).

Selection between these parts depends on circuit voltage requirements and thermal environment specifications. For applications operating at voltages approaching or exceeding 250V DC, or in thermal environments exceeding 85°C, the DPP2S15K-F maintains full design margin. For lower-voltage circuits with precision requirements and ambient temperatures not exceeding 85°C, the 715P15352JD3 offers improved tolerance performance. Both parts satisfy the core functional requirement of 0.015 µF capacitance with metallized polypropylene dielectric in through-hole radial configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 715P15352JD3 directly replace the DPP2S15K-F in any circuit? A: Substitution requires verification that circuit DC voltage requirements do not exceed 200V and maximum operating temperature remains below 85°C. Lead spacing difference (9.52mm versus 10.00mm) must accommodate PCB hole pattern tolerances. Both parts are equivalent in capacitance value and dielectric material, the primary functional parameters.

Q: How does tolerance difference affect circuit performance? A: The 715P15352JD3 provides ±5% tolerance versus ±10% for the DPP2S15K-F. In precision circuits where capacitance accuracy directly impacts frequency response or timing, tighter tolerance reduces component variation. For general filtering and decoupling applications, the tolerance difference typically has minimal practical impact.

Q: Are there restrictions on using the 715P15352JD3 in high-temperature applications? A: Yes. The 715P15352JD3 maximum operating temperature is 85°C, compared to 105°C for the DPP2S15K-F. Applications with sustained operating temperatures above 85°C require the DPP2S15K-F to maintain performance specifications throughout the design life.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference? A: The DPP2S15K-F is rated for 250V DC maximum, while the 715P15352JD3 is rated for 200V DC maximum. For circuits operating at voltages exceeding 200V DC, only the DPP2S15K-F is appropriate. Operating at or near the maximum rated voltage reduces component reliability margin and requires the higher-rated part.

Q: Is lead spacing difference a critical consideration? A: Lead spacing tolerance of ±0.019" (0.394" versus 0.375") is within standard through-hole PCB manufacturing tolerances. However, PCB hole pattern design must accommodate both spacing values, or component selection must be verified against specific board specifications.
