Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The B32672L1123J000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics qualifies as a substitute for the ECW-H16123JV based on the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Match: Both parts are rated 0.012 µF
• Tolerance Match: Both maintain ±5% tolerance
• DC Voltage Rating Match: Both are rated 1600V DC
• Dielectric Material Match: Both use Polypropylene (PP), Metallized construction
• Mounting Compatibility: Both are through-hole radial packages with PC pin termination
• Compliance Alignment: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

Substitution is valid when the circuit design requirements do not exceed the electrical ratings of either part and when physical board layout accommodates the dimensional differences between the two packages.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ECW-H16123JV and B32672L1123J000 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making either suitable for new designs and existing production environments requiring regulatory compliance.

The ECW-H16123JV offers a lower AC voltage rating (424V) compared to the B32672L1123J000 (600V). The B32672L1123J000 provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 110°C versus -40°C to 105°C) and a more compact physical footprint with smaller lead spacing (15.00mm versus 20.00mm).

Selection between these parts depends on circuit board layout constraints and thermal operating requirements. The B32672L1123J000's smaller dimensions may be advantageous in space-constrained applications, while the ECW-H16123JV may be preferred when existing PCB layouts are designed for 20.00mm lead spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B32672L1123J000 directly replace the ECW-H16123JV in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible when the PCB layout accommodates the different lead spacing (15.00mm versus 20.00mm) and physical dimensions. The electrical specifications are equivalent for DC voltage and capacitance requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are physical dimensions, lead spacing, AC voltage rating, and operating temperature range. Both parts maintain identical DC voltage ratings, capacitance values, and tolerance specifications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-frequency and switching applications?

A: Yes, both the ECW-H16123JV and B32672L1123J000 are specified for high-frequency and switching applications with polypropylene metallized dielectric construction.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes, both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What should be considered when selecting between these substitutes?

A: Consider PCB layout compatibility (lead spacing and dimensions), thermal operating environment requirements, and AC voltage application needs. The B32672L1123J000 offers superior thermal range and compact size, while the ECW-H16123JV accommodates larger lead spacing designs.
