Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECW-H6214HCC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 0.21 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±3% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 630V (minimum threshold; higher ratings acceptable)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 223V (minimum threshold; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.815" L x 0.488" W, Height 0.736" max, Lead Spacing 0.689" (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
• Termination: PC Pins (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

Only parts meeting all these criteria qualify as direct parametric equivalents and may be substituted without circuit redesign or PCB layout modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECW-H6214HC qualifies as a direct parametric equivalent to the ECW-H6214HCC. Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components within the ECW-H(C) series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. The ECW-H6214HC currently maintains higher stock levels (1718 pcs versus 1602 pcs), which may provide supply chain advantages. Both parts carry active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected designation, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications. No circuit redesign, PCB layout modification, or performance validation is required when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ECW-H6214HC be used as a direct replacement for ECW-H6214HCC without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The ECW-H6214HC is a direct parametric equivalent with identical physical dimensions (0.815" L x 0.488" W, 0.736" height, 0.689" lead spacing), electrical ratings (0.21 µF, ±3%, 630V DC, 223V AC), and termination type (PC Pins radial). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring equivalent regulatory qualification for all applications.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the ECW-H6214HCC?

A: Substitution requires exact matching across capacitance value (0.21 µF), tolerance (±3%), voltage ratings (630V DC / 223V AC), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), physical dimensions, lead spacing, mounting type (through hole radial), and termination style (PC Pins). Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from direct substitution.

Q: Which part should be selected if both are available?

A: Selection may be based on procurement convenience and inventory levels. The ECW-H6214HC currently maintains higher stock availability (1718 pcs). Both parts are active products with equivalent performance and compliance profiles.

Q: Are there any performance differences between ECW-H6214HCC and ECW-H6214HC?

A: No performance differences exist. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, temperature stability, and reliability characteristics across the -40°C to 105°C operating range.
