ECQ-P1H223GZ Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECQ-P1H223GZ is a 0.022 µF film capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, rated for 50V DC operation with ±2% tolerance. This radial through-hole component utilizes polypropylene (PP) dielectric material and is designed for high-frequency and switching applications. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECQ-P1H223GZ is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 0.022 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±2% (electrical performance specification)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 50V minimum (functional requirement)
• Dielectric Material: Film-based construction (polypropylene or equivalent film technology)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support application requirements
• Mounting Compatibility: Physical form factor and board integration method

The ECH-U1H223GX5 meets the electrical specifications (0.022 µF, ±2%, 50V DC) but differs in mounting technology (surface mount vs. through hole) and dielectric material (polyphenylene sulfide vs. polypropylene). This represents a functional equivalent for applications where mounting method can be accommodated.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECH-U1H223GX5 is an active product with current manufacturing support and ROHS3 compliance, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete ECQ-P1H223GZ. Both components share identical capacitance (0.022 µF), tolerance (±2%), and DC voltage rating (50V).

Selection between these parts depends on circuit board design constraints:

• ECQ-P1H223GZ: Required for through-hole radial mounting configurations on existing PCB layouts
• ECH-U1H223GX5: Suitable for surface-mount applications with 1210 package footprint compatibility; offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and improved environmental compliance

The substitute part's polyphenylene sulfide dielectric differs from the original polypropylene material but maintains equivalent electrical performance for the specified application categories (high frequency, switching).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ECH-U1H223GX5 directly replace ECQ-P1H223GZ in existing designs?

A: Direct PCB replacement is not possible due to different mounting technologies. ECQ-P1H223GZ uses through-hole radial leads, while ECH-U1H223GX5 requires surface-mount pads. Circuit board redesign is necessary for substitution.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics equivalent?

A: Yes. Both components provide 0.022 µF capacitance at ±2% tolerance with 50V DC rating. The dielectric materials differ (polypropylene vs. polyphenylene sulfide), but both are film-based technologies suitable for high-frequency and switching applications.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: ECQ-P1H223GZ operates from -40°C to 85°C, while ECH-U1H223GX5 operates from -55°C to 125°C. The substitute part provides wider temperature coverage for demanding thermal environments.

Q: Does the substitute part have better supply availability?

A: Yes. ECH-U1H223GX5 is listed as active product status with 13,670 pieces in stock, compared to ECQ-P1H223GZ which is obsolete with limited remaining inventory (1,018 pieces).

Q: Are there compliance differences?

A: ECH-U1H223GX5 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. ECQ-P1H223GZ compliance information is not specified. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and 8532.25.0010 HTSUS code.
