Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECW-H16152JL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 1500 pF
• Tolerance: Must be ±5%
• Voltage Rating - DC: Must be 1600V (1.6kV) or higher
• Dielectric Material: Must be Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Package / Case: Must be Radial
• Lead Spacing: Must be 0.591" (15.00mm)

The ECW-H16152JV meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share identical capacitance, tolerance, DC voltage rating, dielectric composition, mounting configuration, and lead spacing. Differences in AC voltage rating and operating temperature range do not affect substitution validity when DC voltage and capacitance specifications are matched.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECW-H16152JV is a direct functional substitute for the ECW-H16152JL. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications for capacitance, tolerance, and DC voltage rating. The ECW-H16152JV carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support compared to the obsolete ECW-H16152JL.

Physical dimensions differ slightly: the ECW-H16152JV is 0.040" (1.00mm) wider and 0.040" (1.00mm) taller than the ECW-H16152JL. PCB layout verification is required to confirm accommodation of these dimensional variations. Lead spacing remains identical at 0.591" (15.00mm), maintaining hole-to-hole compatibility.

The ECW-H16152JV is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECW-H16152JV replace the ECW-H16152JL in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the dimensional differences. The ECW-H16152JV is 0.040" wider and 0.040" taller than the ECW-H16152JL. Lead spacing is identical, ensuring hole compatibility. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the different AC voltage ratings?

A: The ECW-H16152JL is rated for 1200V AC, while the ECW-H16152JV is rated for 424V AC. For DC-only applications, this difference is not relevant. For AC applications, the ECW-H16152JL specification must be verified against circuit requirements before substitution.

Q: Why is the ECW-H16152JL obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The ECW-H16152JV, as an active product from the same manufacturer with identical electrical specifications, provides continuity for applications requiring this capacitance and voltage rating.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The ECW-H16152JV is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Compliance status for the ECW-H16152JL should be verified with the manufacturer or distributor for specific regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature difference?

A: The ECW-H16152JL operates to 110°C, while the ECW-H16152JV operates to 105°C. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, the ECW-H16152JL specification must be retained or alternative parts evaluated.
