Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECQ-E4274KZ is determined by the following criteria:

  • Capacitance Value: Must match 0.27 µF exactly
  • Tolerance: Must be ±10% or tighter
  • Voltage Rating - DC: Must be equal to or greater than 400V
  • Dielectric Material: Must be polyester, metallized construction
  • Mounting Type: Must be through-hole radial configuration
  • Termination Style: Must use PC pins
  • Lead Spacing: Must accommodate 0.807" (20.50mm) spacing or be mechanically compatible within circuit board layout constraints

The ECQ-E6274KF meets these substitution criteria with a higher voltage rating (630V DC) and improved temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), making it a direct functional replacement.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECQ-E6274KF is the qualified substitute for the ECQ-E4274KZ based on the following factors:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts share identical capacitance (0.27 µF) and tolerance (±10%). The ECQ-E6274KF provides a higher DC voltage rating (630V versus 400V), ensuring adequate safety margin in applications originally designed for 400V operation.

Thermal Performance: The ECQ-E6274KF extends the operating temperature range to -40°C ~ 105°C, compared to the original -40°C ~ 85°C specification, providing improved performance in elevated temperature environments.

Product Status and Availability: The ECQ-E4274KZ is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (691 pcs). The ECQ-E6274KF is active production status with significantly higher availability (1953 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability.

Compliance: The ECQ-E6274KF carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements.

Mechanical Considerations: Lead spacing differs by 0.079" (2.00mm), and physical dimensions vary slightly. Circuit board layout verification is required prior to implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECQ-E6274KF directly replace the ECQ-E4274KZ without circuit board modification?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, the lead spacing differs (0.886" versus 0.807"), requiring verification that the circuit board layout accommodates the 22.50mm spacing of the ECQ-E6274KF. Physical dimensions also differ slightly in length and height.

Q: Why is the voltage rating higher on the substitute part?

A: The ECQ-E6274KF is rated for 630V DC, exceeding the original 400V specification. This provides additional safety margin and does not negatively impact circuit performance in 400V applications.

Q: Are there any temperature-related differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The ECQ-E6274KF operates across -40°C ~ 105°C, while the ECQ-E4274KZ is limited to -40°C ~ 85°C. The substitute part offers improved thermal performance for high-temperature environments.

Q: What is the significance of the AC voltage rating on the substitute?

A: The ECQ-E6274KF includes an AC voltage rating of 250V, which was not specified for the original part. This parameter is relevant only if the application involves AC voltage exposure.

Q: How do the physical dimensions affect board-level integration?

A: The ECQ-E6274KF is slightly larger (26.00mm L x 7.00mm W versus 24.00mm L x 8.00mm W) with increased lead spacing (22.50mm versus 20.50mm). Verify that the circuit board footprint and component placement accommodate these dimensional changes.

Q: Is the ECQ-E6274KF RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the ECQ-E6274KF is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
