Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PLG0E392MD01 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Nichicon PLG series. The substitute part PLG0E392MDO1 qualifies as a direct equivalent because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: capacitance value (3900 µF), voltage rating (2.5 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (8 mOhm), lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and physical dimensions (0.394" diameter, 0.512" height, 5.00 mm lead spacing). Both parts use the same radial, can package format with through-hole mounting configuration. The substitute part differs only in product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging designation (bulk versus standard), with no impact on electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PLG0E392MDO1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete PLG0E392MD01. Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon within the same PLG series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. The PLG0E392MDO1 is ROHS3 compliant, providing regulatory advantage for applications subject to environmental compliance requirements. No design modifications, PCB layout changes, or circuit re-evaluation are required when transitioning from the main part to the substitute part.
