ECW-H8223HL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECW-H8223HL is a 0.022 µF film capacitor rated for 800V DC operation, manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This radial polypropylene metallized capacitor is designed for high-frequency and switching applications with a ±3% tolerance and operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The ECW-H8223HL carries an obsolete product status, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECW-H8223HL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 0.022 µF (exact match required)
• DC Voltage Rating: Must be 800V or higher
• Tolerance: Must be ±3% or tighter
• Dielectric Material: Must be Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole with Radial configuration
• Termination: Must use PC Pins
• Application Suitability: Must support High Frequency and Switching applications

The ECW-H8223HA meets all substitution criteria. While dimensional and temperature range variations exist between the main part and substitute, these differences do not preclude functional equivalence when the electrical and mechanical interface parameters remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECW-H8223HA is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete ECW-H8223HL based on matching electrical specifications: identical capacitance (0.022 µF), tolerance (±3%), and DC voltage rating (800V). Both components utilize polypropylene metallized dielectric material and are configured for through-hole radial mounting with PC pin termination.

The ECW-H8223HA offers the advantage of active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The substitute's operating temperature range extends to 105°C (versus 110°C for the main part), which is acceptable for most industrial and commercial applications.

Physical dimensions differ between the two parts. The ECW-H8223HA is smaller in length (15.70mm versus 18.00mm) and has a reduced lead spacing (12.50mm versus 15.00mm). PCB layout verification is required to confirm that the substitute's footprint accommodates the existing through-hole pattern and clearance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECW-H8223HA directly replace the ECW-H8223HL without circuit modification?

A: Electrical substitution is valid based on matching capacitance, tolerance, and voltage rating. However, physical footprint differences require PCB layout verification. The reduced lead spacing (12.50mm versus 15.00mm) and smaller overall dimensions must be confirmed compatible with existing through-hole patterns before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The ECW-H8223HL operates to 110°C while the ECW-H8223HA operates to 105°C. This 5°C difference at the upper limit is typically not significant for standard industrial applications. Applications requiring operation above 105°C would require alternative component selection.

Q: Why does the ECW-H8223HA include an AC voltage rating when the main part does not?

A: The ECW-H8223HA specification includes a 283V AC rating, providing additional application flexibility. This does not affect DC-only applications but expands the substitute's usability for mixed AC/DC circuits.

Q: Is the ECW-H8223HA suitable for high-frequency and switching applications?

A: Yes. Both the main part and substitute are specified for high-frequency and switching applications with identical polypropylene metallized dielectric construction, confirming functional equivalence in these application domains.

Q: What compliance certifications does the substitute provide?

A: The ECW-H8223HA is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The main part's compliance status is not specified in the provided data.
