Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MLP152M080EK1D and MLP152M080EK1A are active production components from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement requirements.

MLP152M080EK1D: 689 units in stock. Primary selection for immediate availability.

MLP152M080EK1A: 876 units in stock. Alternative selection offering higher inventory levels.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance status with RoHS non-compliance and REACH Affected designations. Both are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

The identical electrical performance across all parameters—including capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, ripple current ratings, and thermal lifetime—ensures direct interchangeability in circuit applications. Physical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting configuration are identical, confirming mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts and chassis mount installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MLP152M080EK1D and MLP152M080EK1A electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (80 V), ESR (106 mOhm @ 120 Hz), ripple current ratings (3.6 A @ 120 Hz, 4.2 A @ 20 kHz), and thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C). They are direct electrical equivalents.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MLP152M080EK1D and MLP152M080EK1A share identical physical dimensions (1.500" L x 1.750" W x 0.500" H), lead spacing (1.000"), and FlatPack tabbed package configuration. Both are chassis mount components with identical mounting requirements.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The parts are functionally and mechanically identical. The difference in part number designation (EK1D versus EK1A) reflects internal manufacturing or revision tracking by Cornell Dubilier Electronics. All specified parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status and REACH Affected designation. Both are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), requiring no special moisture handling during storage or assembly.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection is based on inventory availability and procurement lead times. Both maintain active production status with equivalent long-term availability.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these capacitors?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 85°C. The thermal lifetime specification of 2000 hours applies at the maximum operating temperature of 85°C.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-frequency applications?

A: These capacitors are rated for ripple current at both low frequency (3.6 A @ 120 Hz) and high frequency (4.2 A @ 20 kHz). The ESR of 106 mOhm @ 120 Hz indicates suitability for general-purpose applications across the specified frequency range.
