MALSECL00AG415BARK Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MALSECL00AG415BARK is a 1500 µF, 6.3 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components in the ECL series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part is designed for general-purpose applications requiring surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor technology with specified ESR and lifetime characteristics at elevated temperatures.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MALSECL00AG415BARK is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Physical diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory continuity)

The substitute part 158AXZ6R3M meets all mandatory substitution criteria. While secondary parameters such as ESR measurement frequency, ripple current ratings, and height may vary within acceptable engineering tolerances, the core electrical and mechanical specifications align with the original component's functional requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 158AXZ6R3M from Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MALSECL00AG415BARK. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and package specifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and production continuity. The substitute part extends the operating temperature range to -55°C, providing enhanced performance margin in low-temperature environments compared to the original component's -40°C minimum.

Height variation between the two parts (0.413" versus 0.433") must be verified against PCB layout constraints and enclosure clearances in the target application. Surface mount land size differences (10.30 mm x 10.30 mm versus 10.00 mm x 10.00 mm) require confirmation of PCB footprint compatibility prior to implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 158AXZ6R3M be used as a direct replacement for the MALSECL00AG415BARK?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), and package type (Radial, Can - SMD). Physical dimensions are compatible for most applications, though height and land size differences must be verified against specific PCB designs.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer, series designation, and product status. The substitute part is active production, while the original is obsolete. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C on the substitute. Height differs by 0.020" (0.50 mm), and surface mount land sizes vary slightly.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification concerns with substitution?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory alignment for applications requiring these certifications.

Q: What should be verified before implementing the 158AXZ6R3M in production?

A: PCB layout compatibility must be confirmed, specifically: (1) available vertical clearance for the increased height of 0.433", and (2) surface mount land pattern compatibility with the 10.00 mm x 10.00 mm footprint of the substitute part.

Q: Is the ESR specification equivalent between these parts?

A: Both parts specify 90 mOhm impedance characteristics. The original lists 90 mOhm @ 100 kHz, while the substitute lists 309 mOhm @ 120 Hz and 90 mOhms impedance. These measurements reflect different test conditions but indicate equivalent performance for general-purpose applications.
