MKP4J021503C00KSSD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MKP4J021503C00KSSD is a 0.015 µF film capacitor manufactured by WIMA, part of the MKP 4 series. This polypropylene metallized radial capacitor is rated for 630V DC / 280V AC operation and is designed for high-frequency and switching applications. The component features a through-hole radial package with PC pin termination and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. With an active product status and 867 units currently in stock, this capacitor serves as a reliable solution for precision filtering and coupling applications in electronic circuits. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and cost optimization when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MKP4J021503C00KSSD is determined by strict adherence to the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 0.015 µF with ±10% tolerance
• Voltage rating: Minimum 630V DC / 280V AC
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C or broader

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package configuration: Radial
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Physical dimensions: 13.00mm L x 4.00mm W x 9.00mm H (or compatible footprint)
• Termination: PC Pins

Compliance & Status:

• Product status: Active
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

A substitute part must match all parameters listed above. Deviations in capacitance value, voltage rating, dielectric material, physical dimensions, or lead spacing render a part incompatible for direct substitution in this application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The MKP4J021503C00KSSD maintains an active product status with confirmed inventory of 867 units in stock. This availability and active designation make it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The component carries ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.25.0070 classifications, confirming compliance with standard export and tariff regulations.

Substitution Approach:

When the primary part is unavailable, substitute selection must be limited to components that satisfy all electrical and mechanical parameters without exception. The capacitance value of 0.015 µF, voltage rating of 630V DC, polypropylene dielectric material, and radial through-hole package with 10.00mm lead spacing are non-negotiable specifications. Any deviation compromises circuit performance, reliability, or physical compatibility.

Compliance Considerations:

Substitute parts must maintain the same Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1) and regulatory classifications to ensure equivalent performance in production environments and end-use applications. Active product status is preferred to ensure long-term availability and manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes a part a valid substitute for the MKP4J021503C00KSSD?

A: A valid substitute must match the exact capacitance value (0.015 µF), voltage rating (630V DC minimum), dielectric material (polypropylene metallized), physical dimensions (13.00mm x 4.00mm x 9.00mm), lead spacing (10.00mm), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial with PC pins). All parameters must align precisely; no deviations are acceptable.

Q: Can I use a capacitor with a higher voltage rating as a substitute?

A: Yes, a capacitor with a voltage rating equal to or higher than 630V DC can be used, provided all other parameters remain identical. Higher voltage ratings do not compromise circuit function and may provide additional safety margin.

Q: Are there any cross-manufacturer substitutes available?

A: Substitutes from other manufacturers are possible only if they meet all specified electrical and mechanical parameters exactly. The part number, manufacturer designation, and series may differ, but the functional specifications must be identical. Verification of exact parameter matching is required before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the 10.00mm lead spacing?

A: The 10.00mm lead spacing is a critical mechanical parameter that determines PCB footprint compatibility. Deviations in lead spacing will result in physical incompatibility with the circuit board layout and cannot be accommodated through design modifications.

Q: Does the ±10% tolerance affect substitution eligibility?

A: The ±10% tolerance is a manufacturing specification for the primary part. Substitute parts must also carry the same ±10% tolerance specification to ensure equivalent performance characteristics and circuit design compliance.

Q: Why is the polypropylene dielectric material non-negotiable?

A: Polypropylene metallized film capacitors provide specific electrical characteristics including low dissipation factor, high insulation resistance, and stable performance across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range. Substitution with alternative dielectric materials (ceramic, polyester, etc.) will alter circuit behavior and is not permitted.

Q: Is the MKP4J021503C00KSSD suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: Yes, this capacitor is specified for high-frequency and switching applications. The polypropylene dielectric and metallized construction provide the low ESR and low ESL characteristics required for these demanding applications.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for this component?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. This simplifies inventory management and reduces production constraints.
