FCP2416H154G-D3 Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCP2416H154G-D3 is a 0.15 µF film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) with a 50V DC voltage rating, designed for high-frequency and switching applications. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The FCP series utilizes polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) dielectric material in a compact 2416 (6041 metric) surface mount package. Substitution is necessary to ensure component availability while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing circuit designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCP2416H154G-D3 are classified into two categories based on substitution criteria:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (Same Series): The FCP2416H154G-D1 is a direct equivalent from Cornell Dubilier Electronics. This part maintains identical electrical specifications: 0.15 µF capacitance, ±2% tolerance, 50V DC rating, PPS dielectric, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and product status (Active versus Obsolete). The FCP2416H154G-D1 is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original part is no longer available.

Similar Manufacturer Substitute (Cross-Manufacturer): The ECH-U1H154GX9 from Panasonic Electronic Components provides functional equivalence with the following matching parameters: 0.15 µF capacitance, ±2% tolerance, 50V DC rating, PPS dielectric material (metallized-stacked construction), -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, and 2416 (6041 metric) package. This part is classified as a similar substitute due to cross-manufacturer sourcing and different dielectric construction (metallized-stacked versus standard PPS), while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCP2416H154G-D1 Selection Criteria: The FCP2416H154G-D1 is the preferred direct substitute for the obsolete FCP2416H154G-D3. Both parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and share identical electrical specifications, dielectric material, and thermal operating range. The FCP2416H154G-D1 maintains Active product status with confirmed inventory availability (649 pcs). The primary physical difference is reduced seated height (0.075" versus 0.106"), which may provide design flexibility for space-constrained applications. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Packaging format differs (Tape & Reel versus bulk), which affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance.

ECH-U1H154GX9 Selection Criteria: The ECH-U1H154GX9 from Panasonic Electronic Components serves as a cross-manufacturer alternative when CDE parts are unavailable. This part meets all critical electrical parameters: 0.15 µF capacitance, ±2% tolerance, 50V DC rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The dielectric construction differs (metallized-stacked PPS versus standard PPS), which is acceptable for high-frequency and switching applications specified for the original part. The ECH-U1H154GX9 provides the highest inventory availability (10,738 pcs) and maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Seated height is 0.083", intermediate between the main part and direct substitute. This part includes AC voltage rating specification (30V), which is not specified for the original part but does not restrict DC application compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCP2416H154G-D1 be used as a direct replacement for the FCP2416H154G-D3?

A: Yes. The FCP2416H154G-D1 is a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer with identical capacitance (0.15 µF), tolerance (±2%), voltage rating (50V DC), dielectric material (PPS), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Both parts use the same 2416 (6041 metric) surface mount package with solder pad termination. The primary difference is product status (Active versus Obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between the FCP2416H154G-D1 and ECH-U1H154GX9?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical requirements: 0.15 µF, ±2% tolerance, 50V DC, PPS dielectric, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The FCP2416H154G-D1 is manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics with standard PPS dielectric, while the ECH-U1H154GX9 is manufactured by Panasonic with metallized-stacked PPS dielectric construction. Physical differences include seated height (0.075" for FCP2416H154G-D1 versus 0.083" for ECH-U1H154GX9). Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection depends on availability, packaging requirements, and design space constraints.

Q: Are there height restrictions when substituting the FCP2416H154G-D3?

A: The FCP2416H154G-D3 has a maximum seated height of 0.106" (2.70mm). The FCP2416H154G-D1 is shorter at 0.075" (1.90mm), and the ECH-U1H154GX9 is 0.083" (2.10mm). If the original design has height constraints, the substitute parts provide reduced height, which may improve PCB layout flexibility. If the design requires specific height matching, verify clearance with the PCB assembly documentation.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The FCP2416H154G-D1 and ECH-U1H154GX9 are both ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original FCP2416H154G-D3. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, the FCP2416H154G-D1 is recommended as the primary choice due to same-manufacturer sourcing and identical electrical specifications. If supply constraints occur, the ECH-U1H154GX9 provides a qualified cross-manufacturer alternative with confirmed inventory availability and equivalent electrical performance for high-frequency and switching applications.

Q: Are packaging format differences significant for assembly?

A: Yes. The FCP2416H154G-D3 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the FCP2416H154G-D1 and ECH-U1H154GX9 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly and may require different handling equipment. Verify that your assembly process supports the selected packaging format before procurement.
