Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAL213655152E3 is based on the following criteria:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 1500 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Polarization: Polar
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.492" Dia × 1.063" Height
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial, Can

Allowable Upgrade Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or higher than 16 V
• Lifetime @ Temperature: May be equal to or higher than 8000 Hrs @ 105°C
• ESR / Impedance: May be lower (improved performance)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or match -55°C ~ 105°C

The B41888C5158M000 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, physical dimensions, and lead spacing while providing upgraded voltage rating (25 V), extended lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 105°C), and improved ESR characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MAL213655152E3 and B41888C5158M000 are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. The B41888C5158M000 provides enhanced performance characteristics through higher voltage rating (25 V versus 16 V) and extended operational lifetime (10000 hours versus 8000 hours at 105°C), along with lower impedance (27 mOhms versus 34 mOhms).

The B41888C5158M000 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating suitability for automotive applications. Selection between these parts depends on application voltage requirements and desired operational lifetime. Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B41888C5158M000 replace the MAL213655152E3 in all applications?

A: Yes, provided the application circuit voltage does not exceed 25 V. The substitute part maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, and physical dimensions while offering improved voltage margin and lifetime rating.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), diameter (0.492" / 12.50mm), and seated height (1.063" / 27.00mm). Direct PCB mounting compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference in impedance between these parts?

A: The MAL213655152E3 has 34 mOhms impedance, while the B41888C5158M000 has 27 mOhms at 10 kHz. Lower impedance in the substitute part results in reduced voltage drop and heat generation under ripple current conditions.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of the substitute part affect circuit operation?

A: No. A capacitor rated for higher voltage operates normally at lower voltages. The 25 V rating of the B41888C5158M000 provides additional safety margin when used in 16 V applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MAL213655152E3 and B41888C5158M000 are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the substitute part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. The B41888C5158M000 meets automotive reliability and quality requirements, making it suitable for automotive applications where the original part may not be qualified.
