RHS0G152MCN1GS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RHS0G152MCN1GS is a 1500 µF, 4 V aluminum polymer capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in the FPCAP/RHS series. This surface mount radial can capacitor is designed for general purpose applications requiring low equivalent series resistance and stable performance across extended temperature ranges. The part is active in production status and fully compliant with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, specific performance requirements, or design optimization needs within the allowed electrical and mechanical parameter ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RHS0G152MCN1GS is determined by strict adherence to the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 4 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Type: Aluminum Polymer (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• ESR: May vary within acceptable range for the application
• Ripple Current: May vary based on ESR differences
• Height - Seated: May vary within mechanical constraints
• Surface Mount Land Size: May vary within PCB layout tolerance

The substitute parts PCJ0G152MCL1GS and PCJ0G152MCL4GS meet all core substitution criteria while offering improved ESR performance (10 mOhm and 9 mOhm respectively) compared to the main part specification of 12 mOhm.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active production status and full RoHS3 compliance. The RHS0G152MCN1GS carries REACH Unaffected status, while both substitute parts PCJ0G152MCL1GS and PCJ0G152MCL4GS are REACH Affected. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements specific to the end application and geographic market.

PCJ0G152MCL4GS offers the lowest ESR specification at 9 mOhm with identical footprint compatibility to the main part (0.315" diameter, 8.30 mm x 8.30 mm land size), making it the most direct electrical upgrade when PCB layout constraints are critical.

PCJ0G152MCL1GS provides intermediate ESR performance at 10 mOhm but requires a larger footprint (0.394" diameter, 10.30 mm x 10.30 mm land size), necessitating PCB layout verification before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PCJ0G152MCL1GS be used as a direct replacement for RHS0G152MCN1GS on existing PCBs?

A: PCJ0G152MCL1GS has a larger diameter (0.394" vs 0.315") and different land size (10.30 mm x 10.30 mm vs 8.30 mm x 8.30 mm). PCB layout modification is required. Verify available space on the target PCB before substitution.

Q: What is the primary electrical difference between these substitute parts?

A: The main difference is ESR performance. RHS0G152MCN1GS specifies 12 mOhm, while PCJ0G152MCL1GS and PCJ0G152MCL4GS offer 10 mOhm and 9 mOhm respectively. Lower ESR reduces heat generation and improves ripple current handling capability.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across -55°C to 105°C with identical 2000 hour lifetime specification at 105°C.

Q: Does REACH Affected status affect part selection?

A: REACH Affected status indicates the part contains substances of concern under REACH regulations. Selection depends on end-use application and geographic market requirements. RHS0G152MCN1GS carries REACH Unaffected status if regulatory compliance is a primary concern.

Q: Which substitute part maintains the smallest footprint?

A: PCJ0G152MCL4GS maintains the same 0.315" diameter and 8.30 mm x 8.30 mm land size as the main part RHS0G152MCN1GS, requiring no PCB layout changes while providing superior ESR performance at 9 mOhm.
