PVC6147 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PVC6147 is a 0.047 µF film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This polyester dielectric radial capacitor is rated for 600V DC operation and features ±10% capacitance tolerance. The product has an obsolete status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for system maintenance, repair, and procurement of replacement units in production environments.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ECQ-E6473KF from Panasonic Electronic Components qualifies as a substitute for the PVC6147 based on the following critical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Identical capacitance value: 0.047 µF
• Matching tolerance: ±10%
• Equal or higher voltage rating: 630V DC (exceeds 600V DC requirement)
• Compatible dielectric material: Polyester
• Identical mounting configuration: Radial, Through Hole
• Compatible termination: PC Pins
• ROHS3 compliance maintained

The ECQ-E6473KF provides equivalent electrical performance at the specified capacitance and offers improved voltage margin. Physical dimensions differ from the original design; lead spacing is reduced from 24.60 mm to 10.00 mm, requiring PCB layout verification prior to installation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ECQ-E6473KF is a suitable functional replacement for the PVC6147 in applications requiring equivalent capacitance and voltage performance. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are appropriate for general-purpose film capacitor applications.

The substitute part offers higher voltage and AC rating margins, which provide improved design headroom in high-voltage circuit environments. The active status of the ECQ-E6473KF ensures ongoing availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete PVC6147.

Physical dimension and lead spacing differences must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints. The reduced lead spacing (10.00 mm versus 24.60 mm) and smaller form factor of the ECQ-E6473KF may require PCB modification or layout redesign to accommodate the component.

Temperature operating range narrowing (105°C maximum versus 125°C maximum) should be confirmed against system thermal specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ECQ-E6473KF directly replace the PVC6147 without PCB modifications? A: Electrical substitution is valid based on capacitance, tolerance, voltage, and dielectric specifications. Physical compatibility requires PCB layout verification due to different lead spacing (24.60 mm versus 10.00 mm) and component dimensions.

Q: What is the significance of the metallized coating in the ECQ-E6473KF? A: Both parts use polyester dielectric material. The ECQ-E6473KF specifies "Polyester, Metallized" as the dielectric construction, which does not affect capacitance or voltage rating equivalence but reflects manufacturing process differences.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications? A: The PVC6147 supports operation to 125°C. The ECQ-E6473KF operates to 105°C maximum. Applications requiring sustained temperatures above 105°C must retain the original PVC6147 or identify an alternative substitute with matching temperature ratings.

Q: Why has the PVC6147 been classified as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The ECQ-E6473KF maintains active status with documented inventory availability, supporting continued component sourcing.

Q: How do voltage ratings affect substitution decisions? A: The ECQ-E6473KF (630V DC, 250V AC) exceeds the PVC6147 ratings (600V DC, 200V AC). Higher-rated components are electrically suitable for applications designed around lower voltage specifications. Confirm that circuit design does not depend on specific voltage derating characteristics.
