Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DPPM16D27K-F are identified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance value of 2700 pF (exact match)
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match)
• DC voltage rating equal to or greater than 1600V
• AC voltage rating equal to or greater than 500V
• Tolerance specification compatible with circuit application

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Through Hole, Radial (exact match)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match)
• Package configuration: Radial (exact match)

Regulatory and Environmental Requirements:

• ROHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected status
• Operating temperature range suitable for application environment

The substitute part B32672L8272J000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics meets all electrical equivalence criteria with enhanced voltage ratings (2000V DC, 700V AC) and improved tolerance specification (±5%), while maintaining identical capacitance, dielectric material, and mounting configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The DPPM16D27K-F remains the specified component when the original design parameters, including physical dimensions and lead spacing, are fixed constraints within the PCB layout.

The B32672L8272J000 substitute is electrically and functionally equivalent with the following considerations:

Electrical Performance: The substitute part exceeds the voltage rating requirements of the original component (2000V DC versus 1600V DC; 700V AC versus 500V AC) and provides superior tolerance specification (±5% versus ±10%). Both components utilize identical polypropylene metallized dielectric material, ensuring equivalent electrical behavior in high-frequency and switching applications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent product selection.

Physical Compatibility: The substitute part features reduced physical dimensions (18.00mm x 5.00mm versus 25.00mm x 8.50mm) and lower profile height (10.50mm versus 17.00mm). The lead spacing differs (15.00mm versus 21.00mm), requiring PCB layout verification before implementation.

Product Availability: Both components maintain Active product status with current inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32672L8272J000 be used as a direct replacement for DPPM16D27K-F?

A: Electrical and functional substitution is valid. The substitute part meets or exceeds all electrical specifications. Physical compatibility requires verification of PCB layout, specifically lead spacing (15.00mm versus 21.00mm) and component footprint dimensions.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between these parts?

A: Both components have identical 2700 pF capacitance and polypropylene metallized dielectric material. The substitute provides higher voltage ratings (2000V DC and 700V AC versus 1600V DC and 500V AC) and tighter tolerance (±5% versus ±10%). Operating temperature range is wider on the substitute (-55°C to 110°C versus -40°C to 105°C).

Q: Does the smaller physical size of B32672L8272J000 affect performance?

A: Physical size does not affect electrical performance for this application category. The smaller dimensions result from improved manufacturing technology in the substitute part. Electrical characteristics remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. No regulatory differences exist between the parts.

Q: What is the primary limitation for using the substitute part?

A: The primary consideration is mechanical compatibility. The substitute part has different lead spacing (15.00mm versus 21.00mm) and physical dimensions. PCB layout must accommodate these differences. If the original PCB footprint is fixed, physical modification or layout redesign is required.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs without existing PCB constraints, B32672L8272J000 offers superior electrical specifications (higher voltage ratings, tighter tolerance) and improved thermal range. For existing designs with fixed PCB layouts, DPPM16D27K-F maintains compatibility with established footprints.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. DPPM16D27K-F has 962 units in inventory. B32672L8272J000 has 3187 units in inventory. Both maintain Active product status.
