Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DPPM20D56K-F are identified based on the following substitution criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 5600 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 2000V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Radial configuration
• Termination: PC Pins

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May differ from ±10% (tighter tolerance acceptable)
• Voltage Rating - AC: May exceed 500V
• Operating Temperature Range: May exceed -40°C ~ 105°C
• Physical dimensions: May vary within mechanical constraints
• Lead spacing: Substitutes must accommodate existing PCB footprints or require board redesign consideration

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance maintained
• REACH Unaffected status maintained
• ECCN classification: EAR99

The B32672L8562J000 substitute meets all mandatory parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±5%), higher AC voltage rating (700V), and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (DPPM20D56K-F): Select the DPPM20D56K-F when existing PCB designs specify the 1.043" (26.50mm) lead spacing and 1.220" x 0.433" physical envelope. This part maintains Active product status with established supply availability (877 units in stock). RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status satisfy regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Substitute Part Selection (B32672L8562J000): The B32672L8562J000 substitute is electrically compatible for applications requiring 5600 pF capacitance at 2000V DC. This part offers engineering advantages including tighter tolerance specification (±5% versus ±10%), higher AC voltage rating (700V versus 500V), and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 110°C versus -40°C ~ 105°C). Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Critical Consideration: The substitute part exhibits significantly different physical dimensions and lead spacing (0.591" versus 1.043"). Direct board-level substitution without PCB redesign is not feasible. Selection of the substitute requires either PCB layout modification to accommodate the new footprint or use of mechanical adapters. The substitute's more compact form factor may provide space optimization benefits in redesigned layouts.

Both parts are classified as Active products with current manufacturer support and maintain identical regulatory compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B32672L8562J000 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the DPPM20D56K-F?

A: No. While both parts are electrically equivalent at 5600 pF, 2000V DC, the lead spacing differs significantly (0.591" versus 1.043"). Direct PCB substitution without layout modification is not possible. The substitute requires either PCB redesign or mechanical adaptation.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these two parts?

A: The capacitance (5600 pF) and DC voltage rating (2000V) are identical. The substitute offers improved tolerance (±5% versus ±10%) and higher AC voltage rating (700V versus 500V). Both use metallized polypropylene dielectric material.

Q: What is the significance of the different lead spacing?

A: Lead spacing determines the distance between component pins on the PCB. The DPPM20D56K-F uses 26.50mm spacing while the B32672L8562J000 uses 15.00mm spacing. Existing PCB designs are routed for specific lead spacing; mismatched spacing requires board redesign or mechanical adapters.

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

A: Yes. Both the DPPM20D56K-F and B32672L8562J000 are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either part is acceptable based on electrical requirements. The B32672L8562J000 offers advantages in tolerance specification and operating temperature range. The DPPM20D56K-F may be preferred if existing component inventory or established supplier relationships are factors.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between these parts?

A: The DPPM20D56K-F operates from -40°C to 105°C. The B32672L8562J000 extends this range to -55°C to 110°C, providing 15°C additional margin at both temperature extremes.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The DPPM20D56K-F has 877 units in current inventory. The B32672L8562J000 has 17,207 units in current inventory. Both maintain Active product status with their respective manufacturers.

Q: What is the physical size difference between these capacitors?

A: The DPPM20D56K-F measures 31.00mm length x 11.00mm width x 21.00mm height (seated). The B32672L8562J000 measures 18.00mm length x 6.00mm width x 11.00mm height (seated). The substitute is approximately 42% smaller in volume, offering space optimization in compact designs.
