ECE-P2GP152HX Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECE-P2GP152HX is a 1500 µF, 400 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components in the T-UP series. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor with 5 leads is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high capacitance and voltage ratings. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new design implementations where this specification remains applicable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECE-P2GP152HX is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 400 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: -25°C ~ 85°C (minimum requirement)
• Lifetime Rating: 3000 Hrs @ 85°C (minimum requirement)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 1.969" Dia (50.00mm) diameter (exact match required)

The substitute part 382LX152M400B062VS from Cornell Dubilier Electronics meets all critical substitution criteria. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, package type, mounting configuration, operating temperature range, lifetime rating, and polarization. Physical diameter dimensions are identical at 50.00mm. Height variation (2.559" vs 2.480") falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance for snap-in can capacitors and does not preclude substitution in standard through-hole applications.

• Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters—capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, operating temperature range, and lifetime rating—are identical.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Physical dimensions are equivalent, with height variation of 0.079" (2.00mm) remaining within acceptable tolerances for snap-in through-hole applications.
• Certification: Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 382LX152M400B062VS be used as a direct replacement for the ECE-P2GP152HX?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: 1500 µF capacitance, 400 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, identical package configuration (Radial, Can - Snap-In - 5 Lead), and matching operating specifications. The substitute part is currently active and available.

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

A: The ECE-P2GP152HX has a maximum seated height of 2.480" (63.00mm), while the 382LX152M400B062VS measures 2.559" (65.00mm). This 0.079" (2.00mm) difference is within standard mechanical tolerance for snap-in aluminum electrolytic capacitors and does not affect compatibility in standard through-hole PCB applications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the original and substitute part?

A: The substitute part (382LX152M400B062VS) carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for modern applications. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution to be valid?

A: Capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (400 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In - 5 Lead), mounting type (Through Hole), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C), lifetime rating (3000 Hrs @ 85°C), and polarization (Polar) must all match exactly. Physical diameter (50.00mm) must also be identical.

Q: Why is the original ECE-P2GP152HX classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. The 382LX152M400B062VS from Cornell Dubilier Electronics provides an active, currently available alternative that meets all electrical and mechanical requirements.
