Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECW-FE2W154P5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.15 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• Voltage ratings: 450V DC / 84V AC (exact match required)
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole, Radial package with 15.00mm lead spacing (exact match required)
• Termination type: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Compliance certifications: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The ECW-FE2W154PD qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above. Both parts belong to the ECWFE series and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ECW-FE2W154P5 and ECW-FE2W154PD are active production components from Panasonic Electronic Components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times, as they are electrically and mechanically identical. The ECW-FE2W154PD currently maintains higher inventory levels at 2039 units compared to 1829 units for the ECW-FE2W154P5. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 0.15 µF film capacitors rated for 450V DC operation with polypropylene dielectric material in radial through-hole configurations.
