PVC16282 Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC16282 is an 8200 pF film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) with a 1.6 kV DC voltage rating and polypropylene dielectric. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The radial through-hole configuration and ±10% tolerance specification define its primary application scope in general-purpose filtering and coupling circuits.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PVC16282 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 8200 pF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - DC: 1600V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Dielectric material: Polypropylene (PP)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Package configuration: Radial

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: ±10% or tighter (±5% acceptable as improvement)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 475V or higher
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Lead spacing: Physical board layout compatibility required
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant maintained

The B32672L1822J000 from EPCOS - TDK Electronics meets all mandatory criteria with improved tolerance specification and extended temperature range capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B32672L1822J000 qualifies as a direct functional substitute for the obsolete PVC16282 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both components maintain identical 8200 pF capacitance and 1600V DC voltage rating. The substitute's ±5% tolerance provides improved precision compared to the original ±10% specification, reducing circuit performance variation. The 600V AC rating of the substitute exceeds the original 475V AC specification, providing additional safety margin in AC applications.

Thermal Performance: The substitute's extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 110°C) encompasses the original specification (-55°C to 105°C), ensuring thermal compatibility across all intended operating conditions.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Physical Consideration: Lead spacing differs between components (24.60mm original versus 15.00mm substitute). PCB layout verification is mandatory before implementation to confirm mechanical compatibility with existing through-hole pad configurations.

Product Status: The substitute is classified as Active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B32672L1822J000 be used as a direct replacement for PVC16282 without circuit modifications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid without circuit modifications. The substitute maintains identical capacitance and voltage ratings. However, the different lead spacing (15.00mm versus 24.60mm) requires PCB layout verification. If the original PCB pad spacing is 24.60mm, mechanical adaptation or PCB rework is necessary.

Q: What does the ±5% tolerance improvement mean for circuit performance?

A: The substitute's ±5% tolerance provides tighter capacitance accuracy compared to the original ±10%. This reduces the maximum deviation from the nominal 8200 pF value, resulting in more consistent circuit performance across production batches and environmental conditions.

Q: Are there temperature-related limitations when substituting?

A: No. The substitute's operating range (-55°C to 110°C) fully encompasses the original specification (-55°C to 105°C). The extended upper temperature limit provides additional thermal margin.

Q: What is the significance of metallized polypropylene in the substitute?

A: Metallized polypropylene provides self-healing properties under electrical stress, enhancing reliability in high-pulse and switching applications. This represents an improvement over standard polypropylene construction.

Q: Does the higher AC voltage rating (600V versus 475V) affect circuit design?

A: No negative impact. Higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not require circuit modifications. The component will operate safely at or below the original 475V AC specification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: Is inventory availability a consideration for this substitution?

A: Yes. The substitute (B32672L1822J000) shows 2346 pieces in stock versus 951 pieces for the original, providing superior supply chain availability for ongoing production requirements.
