ECE-T2VP182FA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECE-T2VP182FA is a 1800 µF, 350 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor with 4 leads is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high capacitance and voltage ratings. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute components essential for ongoing system support, repairs, and design continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECE-T2VP182FA is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance: 1800 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 350 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In - 4 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: 1.575" Dia (40.00mm) with compatible height (maximum seated height tolerance)

The Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) part number 382LX182M350N082 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 382LX182M350N082 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) is a direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete ECE-T2VP182FA. Both components share identical electrical specifications (1800 µF, 350 V, ±20% tolerance) and mechanical compatibility (radial snap-in package, through-hole mounting, 40mm diameter).

The CDE substitute offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability for procurement and support. The height difference of 0.078" (2.00mm) between the two components falls within acceptable mechanical tolerances for through-hole snap-in applications and does not impact functional performance or PCB layout compatibility.

The CDE part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory advantages over the original Panasonic component for new designs and long-term system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 382LX182M350N082 be used as a direct replacement for the ECE-T2VP182FA?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical specifications (1800 µF, 350 V, ±20% tolerance) and share the same package type (radial, can-style snap-in, 4 lead). Physical dimensions are compatible for through-hole PCB mounting.

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

A: The ECE-T2VP182FA has a maximum seated height of 3.150" (80.00mm), while the 382LX182M350N082 measures 3.228" (82.00mm). This 0.078" (2.00mm) difference is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for snap-in capacitor applications and does not affect electrical performance or standard PCB layout requirements.

Q: Why is the original ECE-T2VP182FA listed as obsolete?

A: Panasonic has discontinued this product line. The 382LX182M350N082 from Cornell Dubilier Electronics remains in active production with equivalent specifications, making it the appropriate substitute for ongoing system support and repairs.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The CDE substitute (382LX182M350N082) is ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, offering regulatory advantages. The original Panasonic part is REACH Affected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes.

Q: What parameters must match exactly for substitution eligibility?

A: Capacitance (1800 µF), voltage rating (350 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (radial snap-in 4 lead), mounting type (through hole), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C), and lifetime rating (3000 Hrs @ 85°C) must all match exactly between the original and substitute components.
