Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAL215055152E3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 7000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Size: 0.492" Dia (12.50mm) (exact match required)
• Ratings: AEC-Q200 (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The ELXZ160ELL152MK20S from Chemi-Con meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MAL215055152E3 and ELXZ160ELL152MK20S are active production components with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Inventory levels (MAL215055152E3: 1050 units; ELXZ160ELL152MK20S: 1708 units)
• PCB layout constraints, as the substitute part has a maximum seated height of 0.846" (21.50mm) compared to 0.866" (22.00mm) for the main part
• Impedance tolerance, where the substitute exhibits 38 mOhms versus 37 mOhms for the original

Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for automotive applications operating within the specified temperature and voltage parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELXZ160ELL152MK20S be used as a direct replacement for MAL215055152E3?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical specifications for capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime (7000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), AEC-Q200 rating, and ROHS3 compliance. Lead spacing and package dimensions are equivalent.

Q: Are there any physical differences between these parts?

A: The ELXZ160ELL152MK20S has a maximum seated height of 0.846" (21.50mm) compared to 0.866" (22.00mm) for the MAL215055152E3. Both maintain identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm) and diameter (0.492" / 12.50mm). Verify PCB clearance if height is a constraint.

Q: What is the impedance difference between these parts?

A: The MAL215055152E3 has an impedance of 37 mOhms, while the ELXZ160ELL152MK20S is rated at 38 mOhms. This 1 mOhm difference is within typical manufacturing tolerance and does not affect functional equivalence for this application category.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the MAL215055152E3 and ELXZ160ELL152MK20S carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are specified for automotive applications across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: The ELXZ160ELL152MK20S has higher current inventory (1708 units) compared to the MAL215055152E3 (1050 units). Selection should align with procurement timelines and supply chain requirements.
