ECH-S1562JZ Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECH-S1562JZ is a 5600 pF film capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, rated for 100V DC operation with ±5% tolerance. This component features a Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) dielectric material in a radial through-hole configuration, designed for high-frequency and switching applications. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and new production runs where original stock is unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECH-S1562JZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 5600 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (acceptable range for functional equivalence)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 100V (minimum requirement; higher ratings are acceptable)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical compatibility)
• Package / Case: Radial (physical form factor)
• Termination: PC Pins (lead configuration)
• Lead Spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) or compatible spacing for PCB layout

The substitute part 168562J100A-F meets these core substitution criteria. While the dielectric material differs (Polyester, Metallized vs. Polyphenylene Sulfide), both materials are suitable for film capacitor applications at the specified voltage and frequency ranges. The substitute maintains the required capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and through-hole radial configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 168562J100A-F from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is a functional equivalent for the obsolete ECH-S1562JZ. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The substitute is in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance: The substitute meets ROHS3 and REACH requirements, suitable for applications with regulatory compliance mandates.
• Electrical Parameters: Capacitance, tolerance, and DC voltage rating are identical to the original part.
• Physical Compatibility: Both parts are radial through-hole components with PC pin termination. However, the lead spacing differs (5.00mm vs. 7.50mm), requiring PCB layout verification before implementation.
• Environmental Performance: The substitute operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 125°C), providing enhanced thermal margin.

PCB layout modifications may be necessary to accommodate the different lead spacing of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 168562J100A-F directly replace the ECH-S1562JZ without PCB modifications?

A: The substitute part has different lead spacing (5.00mm vs. 7.50mm). Direct board-level substitution is not possible without PCB layout changes. Verify hole spacing on your PCB before implementation.

Q: Are the dielectric materials interchangeable?

A: Both Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) and Polyester, Metallized dielectrics are suitable for film capacitor applications at 100V DC. The substitute's polyester dielectric is widely used in general-purpose and high-frequency applications. Functional performance is equivalent for the specified operating conditions.

Q: Does the smaller physical size of the substitute affect performance?

A: The substitute's smaller dimensions (7.20mm x 2.50mm vs. 12.00mm x 4.50mm) do not affect electrical performance. The reduced footprint may provide PCB layout advantages, but lead spacing compatibility must be verified.

Q: What compliance certifications does the substitute meet?

A: The 168562J100A-F is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most markets.

Q: Is the substitute suitable for high-frequency and switching applications?

A: The substitute is classified for general-purpose applications. Verify that polyester film dielectric performance meets your specific high-frequency or switching application requirements before implementation.

Q: What is the lead spacing difference, and how does it affect PCB design?

A: The original part has 7.50mm lead spacing; the substitute has 5.00mm spacing. This 2.50mm difference requires PCB hole repositioning or use of adapter solutions for direct substitution.
