Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC10268 is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 6800 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 1000V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (mechanical compatibility)

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±10% or better (±5% is acceptable)
• Operating Temperature: Must encompass -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Dielectric Material: Polyester or polypropylene acceptable for general-purpose applications
• Lead Spacing: 0.689" (17.50mm) preferred for direct PCB fit; minor variations require footprint verification

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status required
• REACH Unaffected status required

The substitute part B32671L0682J000 meets all mandatory parameters and maintains compliance certifications, qualifying it as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: B32671L0682J000

The B32671L0682J000 qualifies as a functional equivalent based on matching capacitance (6800 pF), voltage rating (1000V DC), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial). Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements.

Key Considerations:

1. Product Status: The PVC10268 is obsolete; the B32671L0682J000 is active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

2. Tolerance Improvement: The substitute offers ±5% tolerance versus ±10%, providing tighter capacitance control in circuit applications.

3. Dielectric Difference: The substitute uses polypropylene (PP) metallized dielectric instead of polyester. Both materials are suitable for general-purpose applications; however, polypropylene offers superior frequency response characteristics and lower dissipation factor in high-frequency switching applications.

4. Physical Dimensions: The substitute is more compact (13.00mm x 5.00mm versus 10.90mm x 22.90mm). Verify available PCB space before selection.

5. Lead Spacing: The substitute has 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing versus 0.689" (17.50mm) on the original. PCB footprint modification is required for direct substitution.

6. Operating Temperature: The substitute maximum temperature is 110°C versus 125°C. For applications operating above 110°C, the original specification must be maintained or alternative parts evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32671L0682J000 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for PVC10268?

A: Electrical substitution is valid (matching capacitance, voltage, and tolerance specifications). However, mechanical substitution requires PCB footprint modification due to different lead spacing (10.00mm versus 17.50mm) and physical dimensions.

Q: What is the tolerance difference between these parts, and does it matter?

A: The PVC10268 has ±10% tolerance; B32671L0682J000 has ±5%. The tighter tolerance of the substitute is compatible with applications designed for ±10%, providing improved capacitance accuracy. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences I should consider?

A: The PVC10268 operates to 125°C; the substitute to 110°C. For applications requiring operation above 110°C, the original part specification must be maintained. For applications within -55°C to 110°C, the substitute is fully compatible.

Q: Why is the dielectric material different (polyester versus polypropylene)?

A: Both materials are suitable for general-purpose DC applications. Polypropylene offers advantages in high-frequency and switching applications due to lower dissipation factor. For standard general-purpose use, both materials perform equivalently.

Q: How do I verify PCB compatibility with the substitute?

A: Compare lead spacing (10.00mm for substitute versus 17.50mm for original) and physical dimensions against available PCB footprint space. Consult PCB layout documentation to confirm mounting hole positioning and clearance requirements.

Q: Is the substitute currently available in production quantities?

A: Yes. B32671L0682J000 is active production status with 4986 pieces in stock, ensuring reliable supply compared to the obsolete PVC10268.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory requirements for electronic component use.
