Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECW-H16103JL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 10000 pF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match required)
• DC Voltage Rating: 1600V (1.6kV) minimum (exact match required)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.787" (20.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)

The ECW-H16103JV qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (width and height), AC voltage rating, operating temperature range, and product status do not preclude substitution when the above parameters are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECW-H16103JV is a qualified substitute for the obsolete ECW-H16103JL. Both components share identical capacitance, tolerance, DC voltage rating, dielectric material, mounting configuration, and lead spacing. The ECW-H16103JV maintains active product status with current manufacturing and inventory availability (56054 pcs in stock versus 1033 pcs for the obsolete variant).

The ECW-H16103JV exhibits a reduced AC voltage rating (424V versus 1200V) and a marginally lower maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 110°C). These differences do not affect DC-biased applications or systems operating within the substitute's specified temperature range. The ECW-H16103JV carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements.

Selection of the ECW-H16103JV is appropriate for new designs and obsolescence mitigation strategies where the specified AC voltage and temperature parameters are compatible with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECW-H16103JV replace the ECW-H16103JL in all applications?

A: The ECW-H16103JV is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications where the AC voltage rating of 424V and maximum operating temperature of 105°C satisfy system requirements. If the original design requires 1200V AC operation or sustained temperatures above 105°C, application-specific validation is necessary.

Q: What are the physical differences between these parts?

A: Both components maintain identical lead spacing (0.787" / 20.00mm) and radial through-hole mounting. The ECW-H16103JV has a slightly larger width (0.315" versus 0.276") and marginally reduced height (0.630" versus 0.650"). These dimensional variations are minor and do not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard radial capacitor footprints.

Q: Why is the ECW-H16103JL obsolete?

A: The ECW-H16103JL is classified as obsolete by Panasonic Electronic Components. The ECW-H16103JV represents the active production equivalent within the ECW-H series, offering improved availability and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The ECW-H16103JV includes RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The ECW-H16103JL compliance information is not provided. Both components carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.25.0040) classifications.

Q: What is the lead spacing significance?

A: Both parts share 0.787" (20.00mm) lead spacing, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility. This parameter is critical for through-hole radial capacitor substitution and is identical between the main part and substitute.
