MMP6S15K - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MMP6S15K is a 0.015 µF film capacitor rated for 630V DC operation with polyester metallized dielectric construction, designed for through-hole axial mounting in general-purpose applications. The main part (MMP6S15K) is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing system support and component availability. The equivalent substitute MMP6S15K-F maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance posture.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MMP6S15K-F qualifies as a direct functional equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

• Capacitance Value: 0.015 µF (identical)
• Voltage Ratings: 630V DC / 250V AC (identical)
• Tolerance: ±10% (identical)
• Dielectric Type: Polyester, Metallized (identical)
• Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 10.00mm × 6.00mm × 17.00mm (identical)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole Axial with PC Pins (identical)

These parameters define the complete electrical and mechanical compatibility envelope. The MMP6S15K-F provides a direct replacement with no circuit redesign or board layout modification required.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MMP6S15K-F is the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete MMP6S15K while offering the following advantages:

• Active Product Status: Ensures ongoing availability and supply chain reliability
• RoHS3 Compliance: Meets current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the MMP6S15K is non-compliant
• Inventory Availability: 1448 units in stock compared to legacy inventory
• Series Continuity: Remains within the same MMP series family

The MMP6S15K-F provides drop-in substitution without circuit modification or performance compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MMP6S15K-F be used as a direct replacement for MMP6S15K? A: Yes. The MMP6S15K-F is a direct functional equivalent with identical capacitance (0.015 µF), voltage ratings (630V DC / 250V AC), tolerance (±10%), dielectric composition (polyester metallized), temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), physical dimensions (10.00mm × 6.00mm × 17.00mm), and through-hole axial mounting configuration. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the key difference between MMP6S15K and MMP6S15K-F? A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. MMP6S15K is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while MMP6S15K-F is active and RoHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any physical installation differences? A: No. Both parts share identical physical dimensions, axial through-hole mounting configuration, and PC pin termination. Board layout and installation procedures remain unchanged.

Q: Why should obsolete parts be replaced? A: Obsolete components present supply chain risk and may become unavailable. The active status of MMP6S15K-F ensures long-term sourcing capability and compatibility with current manufacturing standards and regulatory requirements.

Q: Is RoHS3 compliance relevant to my application? A: RoHS3 compliance is required for products sold into markets with environmental regulations. Even if not directly applicable, using RoHS-compliant substitutes supports future design flexibility and regulatory alignment.

Q: Can I mix MMP6S15K and MMP6S15K-F in the same assembly? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. However, design practice recommends standardizing on the active substitute (MMP6S15K-F) for consistency and supply chain continuity.
