Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the QAP2E155JRP are identified based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant for functional equivalence:

• Capacitance Value: 1.5 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250V DC minimum
• Tolerance: ±5% (acceptable range for this application category)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole axial package
• Termination Style: PC pins for PCB insertion

The MPF1254150JJ meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent, maintaining identical electrical specifications and physical form factor compatibility with the original QAP2E155JRP design.
