ECW-H16562JL Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECW-H16562JL is a 5600 pF film capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, designed for high-frequency and switching applications. This radial polypropylene metallized capacitor operates at 1600V DC with ±5% tolerance and is rated for -40°C to 110°C operating temperature range. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new designs requiring compatible specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ECW-H16562JL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 5600 pF (±5% tolerance maintained)
• DC Voltage Rating: Must be 1600V or higher
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Mounting Type: Through Hole radial configuration
• Termination Style: PC Pins
• Application Suitability: High Frequency and Switching capability

The ECW-H16562JV meets all substitution criteria as an active product from the same ECW-H base series with identical capacitance, tolerance, DC voltage rating, dielectric material, mounting type, and termination style.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECW-H16562JV is the qualified substitute for the obsolete ECW-H16562JL. Both parts share identical electrical specifications for capacitance, tolerance, and DC voltage rating. The ECW-H16562JV maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Physical dimensions differ between the two parts. The ECW-H16562JV is larger in length (23.00mm vs 18.00mm) and has increased lead spacing (20.00mm vs 15.00mm). PCB layout modifications may be required to accommodate these dimensional changes. The maximum seated height difference is minimal (16.50mm vs 15.50mm).

Operating temperature range differs by 5°C at the upper limit (105°C vs 110°C). AC voltage rating is significantly lower on the ECW-H16562JV (424V vs 1200V), which is relevant only for AC applications. For DC-dominant switching and high-frequency applications, this difference does not affect substitution suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ECW-H16562JV directly replace ECW-H16562JL without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Physical PCB layout modifications are necessary due to different lead spacing (20.00mm vs 15.00mm) and body dimensions (23.00mm x 6.50mm vs 18.00mm x 7.50mm).

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

A: The AC voltage rating applies only to AC circuit applications. For DC and switching applications, the DC voltage rating of 1600V is the controlling specification. Both parts are equivalent for these applications.

Q: Is the 5°C difference in maximum operating temperature critical?

A: The ECW-H16562JV operates to 105°C maximum versus 110°C for the ECW-H16562JL. This difference is relevant only if the application requires sustained operation above 105°C. For most industrial and commercial switching applications, this is not a limiting factor.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The ECW-H16562JV is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8532.25.0040.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for this substitution?

A: The ECW-H16562JV is in active production with 3615 pieces available in bulk packaging, compared to the obsolete ECW-H16562JL with limited remaining stock of 652 pieces.
