Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the PVC16222 is determined by the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance: 2200 pF (exact match required)
• DC Voltage Rating: 1600V minimum (substitute must meet or exceed)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP) or metallized polypropylene (same family acceptable)
• Operating Temperature: Range must encompass -55°C to 105°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole (radial configuration)
• Package / Case: Radial form factor
• Termination: PC Pins (compatible with radial lead spacing)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance: Required
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected or compliant

The substitute part B32671L1222J000 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution in applications requiring the PVC16222 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B32671L1222J000 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete PVC16222, meeting all mandatory electrical specifications. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility.

Key advantages of the substitute part include improved tolerance (±5% versus ±10%), higher AC voltage rating (600V versus 475V), and extended upper operating temperature (110°C versus 105°C). The substitute features a metallized polypropylene dielectric, which is compatible with the original polypropylene specification.

Physical dimensions and lead spacing differ between the two parts. The B32671L1222J000 features a more compact form factor (13.00mm x 5.00mm versus 10.70mm x 31.80mm) with reduced lead spacing (10.00mm versus 24.60mm). PCB layout and mechanical fitment must be evaluated for the specific application prior to implementation.

The substitute part maintains active production status with substantial inventory availability (55,927 units), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability compared to the discontinued PVC16222 part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B32671L1222J000 directly replace PVC16222 in all applications? A: The substitute meets all electrical specifications (2200 pF capacitance, 1600V DC rating, polypropylene dielectric). Physical dimensions and lead spacing differ significantly. PCB layout compatibility must be verified for your specific application before implementation.

Q: What is the tolerance difference between these parts? A: The PVC16222 features ±10% tolerance, while the B32671L1222J000 provides ±5% tolerance. The superior tolerance of the substitute part offers tighter capacitance specification control.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences? A: The PVC16222 operates from -55°C to 105°C. The B32671L1222J000 extends the upper limit to 110°C, providing a 5°C margin. Both meet standard industrial temperature requirements.

Q: Why is the AC voltage rating higher for the substitute? A: The B32671L1222J000 is rated 600V AC compared to 475V AC for the PVC16222, despite identical 1600V DC ratings. This reflects the design characteristics of the metallized polypropylene dielectric used in the substitute part.

Q: What does "metallized" mean in the substitute part specification? A: Metallized polypropylene film incorporates a thin metallic coating on the dielectric surface. This maintains electrical performance equivalent to standard polypropylene while offering design flexibility in the substitute part.

Q: Will the physical size difference affect my PCB layout? A: Yes. The PVC16222 measures 10.70mm x 31.80mm with 24.60mm lead spacing, while the B32671L1222J000 measures 13.00mm x 5.00mm with 10.00mm lead spacing. PCB footprint and component placement must be verified for compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant? A: Both the PVC16222 and B32671L1222J000 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting modern regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the supply status for each part? A: The PVC16222 is obsolete with 910 pieces available. The B32671L1222J000 is in active production with 55,927 units available, providing long-term supply security.
