Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECE-T2GP152FA is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical 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 - 4 Lead (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C to 85°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime specification: 3000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Physical diameter: 1.575" (40.00mm) (exact match required)

The substitute part 382LX152M400N082 from Cornell Dubilier Electronics meets all these criteria and is classified as active product status, providing long-term availability for replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 382LX152M400N082 from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the obsolete ECE-T2GP152FA. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, package configuration, and thermal specifications.

The substitute part offers the following advantages for procurement and system continuity:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability
• ROHS3 compliance supports regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing
• REACH unaffected status simplifies compliance documentation
• Identical electrical performance across all specified parameters
• Physical dimensions are compatible with existing PCB layouts, with a maximum height difference of 0.078" (2.00mm)

The height variance between the original part (80.00mm) and substitute (82.00mm) is within typical mechanical tolerances for snap-in capacitor installations and does not affect functional performance or board-level compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 382LX152M400N082 be used as a direct replacement for the ECE-T2GP152FA?

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, and matching thermal specifications. The substitute part is actively manufactured and available.

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

A: The ECE-T2GP152FA has a maximum seated height of 80.00mm, while the 382LX152M400N082 measures 82.00mm. This 2.00mm difference is within standard mechanical tolerances for radial snap-in capacitors and does not impact PCB layout compatibility or functional performance.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The 382LX152M400N082 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The original ECE-T2GP152FA is REACH affected, making the substitute preferable for new procurement and compliance documentation.

Q: Are the ripple current specifications identical?

A: Both parts support 5.5 A ripple current at 120 Hz. At high frequency, the original part is rated for 7.7 A @ 10 kHz, while the substitute is rated for 7.7 A @ 20 kHz. Both specifications meet the electrical requirements for general-purpose applications.

Q: What is the ESR difference between the two parts?

A: The ECE-T2GP152FA specifies 122 mOhm ESR @ 120 Hz. The 382LX152M400N082 does not provide an ESR specification in the available data. For applications where ESR is a critical parameter, direct measurement or manufacturer consultation is recommended.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The ECE-T2GP152FA is supplied in standard packaging with 762 pieces available as new original stock. The 382LX152M400N082 is supplied in bulk packaging with 3633 pieces available as new original stock, providing greater availability for high-volume procurement.
