ECO-S2EB152EA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECO-S2EB152EA is a 1500 µF, 250 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can snap-in package manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This part operates across -40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict compliance with the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Case Diameter: 1.378" (35.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ 105°C: 3000 Hrs (minimum requirement)

Parts are classified as direct substitutes when all parameters match exactly. Parts with variations in height, ESR, ripple current, or lifetime below 3000 hours are classified as similar or parametric equivalents and require engineering evaluation for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct substitutes with all parameters matching the ECO-S2EB152EA and active product status are:

• LGU2E152MELC (Nichicon): Identical height (1.969"), 3000-hour lifetime, ROHS3 compliant, active status
• 381LX152M250A052 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics): 3000-hour lifetime, ROHS3 compliant, active status
• 381LR152M250A052 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics): 3000-hour lifetime, ROHS3 compliant, active status

Parts with height variations but matching all other critical parameters:

• B43508F2158M000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics): Shorter height (1.654"), 3000-hour lifetime, ROHS3 compliant, active status. Suitable where space constraints permit reduced height.
• LGN2E152MELC45 (Nichicon): Height 1.850", 3000-hour lifetime, ROHS3 compliant, active status
• LGW2E152MELC45 (Nichicon): Height 1.772", 3000-hour lifetime, ROHS3 compliant, active status

Parts with reduced lifetime or non-standard configurations:

• 381LQ152M250A452 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics): 2000-hour lifetime (below 3000-hour requirement), ROHS3 compliant, active status. Acceptable only for applications with reduced lifetime requirements.
• 383LX152M250A062 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics): 4-lead configuration with increased height (2.559"), 3000-hour lifetime, ROHS3 compliant, active status. Requires mechanical re-evaluation due to non-standard lead configuration.

All recommended substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different height?

A: Height variations are acceptable provided the application PCB layout and enclosure clearances accommodate the new dimension. Verify mechanical fit before implementation. Parts with heights between 1.654" and 2.047" are direct electrical equivalents to the original ECO-S2EB152EA.

Q: What is the significance of the 3000-hour lifetime specification?

A: The 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C defines the expected operational duration under rated conditions. Parts with 2000-hour lifetimes have reduced operational endurance and are suitable only for applications with lower reliability requirements or shorter service life expectations.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All active substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The original ECO-S2EB152EA is REACH Affected; all active substitutes are REACH Unaffected, providing improved regulatory compliance for new designs.

Q: What does the snap-in package type mean?

A: Snap-in refers to the mechanical mounting method where the capacitor is secured to the PCB through a snap-fit mechanism on the can body, in addition to through-hole lead connections. All listed substitutes maintain this package type.

Q: Can I use the 383LX152M250A062 as a direct replacement?

A: The 383LX152M250A062 features a 4-lead configuration instead of the standard 2-lead radial design. While electrically equivalent, this part requires mechanical re-evaluation and is not a direct drop-in replacement without PCB redesign.

Q: Which substitute offers the best electrical performance?

A: Electrical performance is determined by application-specific requirements. The B43508F2158M000 offers the lowest ESR (75 mOhm @ 100Hz), beneficial for high-frequency ripple current applications. The LGW2E152MELC45 offers the highest ripple current capability (5.625 A @ 50 kHz), suitable for demanding power supply applications.
