ECW-H16182JL Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECW-H16182JL is a 1800 pF film capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, designed for high-frequency and switching applications. This radial polypropylene metallized capacitor operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 110°C with a DC voltage rating of 1600V (1.6kV) and an AC voltage rating of 1200V (1.2kV). The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECW-H16182JL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1800 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: 0.591" (15.00mm) (exact match required)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)

The ECW-H16182JV qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in AC voltage rating, operating temperature upper limit, physical dimensions, and product status do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical specifications and mechanical interface requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECW-H16182JV is a qualified substitute for the obsolete ECW-H16182JL. Both components share identical capacitance, tolerance, DC voltage rating, dielectric material, mounting configuration, and mechanical interface specifications. The ECW-H16182JV maintains active product status with Panasonic Electronic Components, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The ECW-H16182JV carries RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The reduction in AC voltage rating (424V versus 1200V) and maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 110°C) should be evaluated against specific application requirements. For applications where the original AC voltage rating or upper temperature limit are critical design parameters, these differences must be confirmed as acceptable within the system specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ECW-H16182JV be used as a direct replacement for ECW-H16182JL?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (1800 pF), tolerance (±5%), DC voltage rating (1600V), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), mounting type (through hole radial), lead spacing (15.00mm), and termination (PC pins). The ECW-H16182JV is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The ECW-H16182JV has a lower AC voltage rating (424V versus 1200V), a reduced maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 110°C), and is currently in active production status. Physical dimensions differ slightly (width 7.00mm versus 6.00mm, height 15.50mm versus 14.00mm).

Q: Does the lower AC voltage rating of ECW-H16182JV affect substitution suitability?

A: The AC voltage rating difference must be evaluated against your specific application requirements. If AC voltage stress is not a design constraint, this difference does not preclude substitution. If AC voltage performance is critical, confirm that 424V meets your system specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The ECW-H16182JL is supplied in standard packaging, while the ECW-H16182JV is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical radial through-hole configurations with 15.00mm lead spacing.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The ECW-H16182JV is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.25.0040 classifications.
