Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
Diameter: 0.984" (25.00 mm) (exact match required)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct replacement of the ECO-S1CP153CA. Selection should prioritize active product status and RoHS3 compliance for new designs and long-term availability.

Direct Substitutes (Equivalent Specifications):

16USG15000MEFCSN25X25 (Rubycon USG series): Meets all core parameters with reduced height (27.00 mm vs 32.00 mm). Suitable for space-constrained applications.
SLPX153M016C3P3 (Cornell Dubilier SLPX series): Meets all core parameters with intermediate height (30.00 mm). Lower ESR (44 mOhm) improves thermal performance.
159LBB016M2CD (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor LBB series): Meets all core parameters with ESR of 55.26 mOhm, marginally higher than the original part.
LLS1C153MELA (Nichicon LLS series): Meets all core parameters with standard height (32.00 mm).

Upgrade Substitutes (Enhanced Temperature Rating):

381LX153M016J022 (Cornell Dubilier 381LX series): Extends operating temperature to 105°C and lifetime to 3000 hours at 105°C. Maintains original height (32.00 mm) with improved ESR (46 mOhm).
16MXG15000MEFCSN25X30 (Rubycon MXG series): Extends operating temperature to 105°C and lifetime to 3000 hours at 105°C. Maintains original height (32.00 mm).

Similar Specification (Reduced Lifetime):

B41231B4159M000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics B41231 series): Meets all core parameters but with reduced lifetime (2000 hours at 85°C vs 3000 hours). Use only where reduced lifetime is acceptable.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting regulatory requirements for modern applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different height? A: Height variations exist among the listed substitutes (27.00 mm to 32.00 mm). Verify PCB layout and mechanical clearance before selection. The 16USG15000MEFCSN25X25 offers a compact 27.00 mm height, while others maintain the original 32.00 mm dimension.

Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and upgrade substitutes? A: Direct substitutes maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C) and lifetime specifications (3000 hours at 85°C). Upgrade substitutes extend the upper operating temperature to 105°C and maintain 3000-hour lifetime at this elevated temperature, providing enhanced thermal margin for demanding applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original ECO-S1CP153CA is RoHS non-compliant. Substitution with any listed part upgrades compliance status for new designs.

Q: Which substitute offers the lowest ESR? A: The SLPX153M016C3P3 provides the lowest specified ESR at 44 mOhm @ 120Hz, followed by the 381LX153M016J022 at 46 mOhm @ 120Hz. Lower ESR reduces heat generation and improves ripple current handling.

Q: Can I use the B41231B4159M000 as a long-term replacement? A: The B41231B4159M000 meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications but operates at reduced lifetime (2000 hours at 85°C vs 3000 hours). Use only in applications where the reduced lifetime is acceptable or where operating temperatures remain below 85°C.

Q: What is the lead spacing requirement? A: All substitute parts maintain the original 0.394" (10.00 mm) lead spacing and 0.984" (25.00 mm) diameter, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best thermal performance? A: The upgrade substitutes (381LX153M016J022 and 16MXG15000MEFCSN25X30) extend operating temperature to 105°C, providing superior thermal margin. Among direct substitutes, the SLPX153M016C3P3 offers the lowest ESR (44 mOhm), reducing self-heating.
