ECE-P2AP153HA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECE-P2AP153HA is a 15000 µF, 100 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor with 5 leads is designed for general purpose applications requiring high capacitance at moderate voltage ratings. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECE-P2AP153HA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 15000 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Radial, Can - Snap-In - 5 Lead (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (minimum requirement)
• Lifetime Rating: 3000 Hrs @ 85°C (minimum requirement)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The substitute part 382LX153M100B062VS (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) meets all mandatory equivalence criteria and is classified as active product status, providing long-term availability assurance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 382LX153M100B062VS from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete ECE-P2AP153HA. Selection of the CDE substitute is supported by:

• Product Status: Active manufacturing status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability, contrasting with the obsolete status of the original Panasonic part.
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status satisfy modern environmental and regulatory requirements.
• Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ripple current at low frequency, and lifetime rating—are identical.
• Physical Compatibility: Identical package configuration and mounting type ensure direct board-level substitution. Height difference of 0.079" (2.00mm) is within typical PCB design tolerances for snap-in capacitor installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 382LX153M100B062VS be used as a direct replacement for the ECE-P2AP153HA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (15000 µF), voltage rating (100 V), tolerance (±20%), package configuration (Radial, Can - Snap-In - 5 Lead), and electrical performance specifications. Physical dimensions are equivalent within standard manufacturing tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between the two parts?

A: The CDE substitute is 0.079" (2.00mm) taller (65.00mm vs. 63.00mm seated height). This difference is within typical PCB design clearance margins for through-hole snap-in capacitors and does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Why is the ripple current high-frequency specification different?

A: The ECE-P2AP153HA specifies ripple current at 10 kHz, while the 382LX153M100B062VS specifies it at 20 kHz. Both parts deliver 11.58 A ripple current at their respective test frequencies. The low-frequency ripple current specification (10.07 A @ 120 Hz) is identical for both parts and is the primary design criterion for general purpose applications.

Q: Does the CDE substitute meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 382LX153M100B062VS is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The original Panasonic part does not specify these certifications.

Q: Are there any mechanical considerations for board redesign?

A: No redesign is required. The snap-in 5-lead configuration and radial can package are identical. The 2.00mm height increase is accommodated within standard PCB clearance specifications for this component class.
