Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SLP153M025E5P3 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute candidates must satisfy the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Capacitance: 15000 µF (exact match)
• Voltage Rating: 25 V (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C (minimum requirement)
• Lifetime: 3000 Hrs @ 105°C (minimum requirement)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match)

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match for PCB compatibility)

Regulatory Compliance (Non-negotiable):

• RoHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• REACH Unaffected status

Dimensional variations in diameter and height are permissible only when the lead spacing remains constant and the component physically fits within the designated PCB footprint and enclosure constraints. ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and ripple current specifications may vary within acceptable ranges for the application, provided they do not degrade circuit performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SLP153M025C4P3 Substitution:

The SLP153M025C4P3 is electrically and functionally equivalent to the SLP153M025E5P3. Both parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature range, and lifetime specifications. Both are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. The primary difference is mechanical: the SLP153M025C4P3 has a smaller diameter (0.984" vs. 1.181") but greater height (1.772" vs. 1.378"). This substitution is valid only when the PCB layout and enclosure accommodate the increased height dimension while maintaining the identical 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing. ESR and ripple current specifications are identical at 40 mOhm and 4.5 A @ 20 kHz respectively.

381LX153M025A022 Substitution:

The 381LX153M025A022 is electrically equivalent to the SLP153M025E5P3 in all critical parameters: capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature range, and lifetime. Both are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. The mechanical profile differs: the 381LX153M025A022 has a larger diameter (1.378" vs. 1.181") but shorter height (1.260" vs. 1.378"). Lead spacing remains constant at 0.394" (10.00mm). ESR is not specified for the 381LX153M025A022, and ripple current @ 20 kHz is slightly lower (4.1 A vs. 4.5 A). This substitution is valid when the PCB layout and enclosure accommodate the increased diameter dimension while benefiting from reduced height.

Both substitute parts maintain full regulatory compliance and are sourced from the same manufacturer, ensuring consistent quality and reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I substitute SLP153M025C4P3 for SLP153M025E5P3 in my existing PCB design?

A: Substitution is possible only if your PCB layout and enclosure accommodate the dimensional differences. The SLP153M025C4P3 maintains the identical 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing, so the PCB footprint remains compatible. However, the SLP153M025C4P3 is taller (1.772" vs. 1.378"), so verify that your enclosure height clearance is sufficient. All electrical parameters are identical.

Q2: What is the key difference between the three parts?

A: All three parts (SLP153M025E5P3, SLP153M025C4P3, and 381LX153M025A022) are electrically identical: 15000 µF, 25 V, ±20% tolerance, 3000 Hrs @ 105°C. The differences are purely mechanical—diameter and height dimensions vary while lead spacing remains constant at 10.00mm. Select based on your available PCB and enclosure space.

Q3: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q4: Can I use 381LX153M025A022 if my design requires lower height?

A: Yes. The 381LX153M025A022 has a height of 1.260" (32.00mm), which is lower than the SLP153M025E5P3 at 1.378" (35.00mm). However, its diameter is larger (1.378" vs. 1.181"), so verify that your PCB layout accommodates the increased diameter. Lead spacing is identical at 10.00mm.

Q5: Does ESR matter when selecting a substitute?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects circuit performance in high-frequency or high-ripple-current applications. The SLP153M025E5P3 and SLP153M025C4P3 both specify 40 mOhm @ 120Hz. The 381LX153M025A022 does not specify ESR. If your application is sensitive to ESR, prioritize parts with specified values.

Q6: What is the ripple current difference between these parts?

A: At 20 kHz, the SLP153M025E5P3 and SLP153M025C4P3 both support 4.5 A, while the 381LX153M025A022 supports 4.1 A. At 120 Hz, all three support 3.6 A. Select based on your circuit's ripple current requirements at the operating frequency.

Q7: Are all parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. All three parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE), ensuring consistent quality standards and supply chain reliability.

Q8: What does "Snap-In" package mean?

A: Snap-In refers to the mechanical mounting method where the capacitor's leads are inserted into PCB holes and secured by a snap-fit mechanism, as opposed to solder-only attachment. All three parts use this mounting type.

Q9: Can I mix these parts in the same design?

A: Mixing is not recommended in the same PCB design due to dimensional differences. However, if your PCB layout accommodates multiple footprint sizes or if you are designing for multiple product variants, you may use different parts in different designs, provided each design's enclosure and PCB layout are verified for the specific part's dimensions.

Q10: What inventory levels are available?

A: Current inventory levels are: SLP153M025E5P3 (712 Pcs), SLP153M025C4P3 (779 Pcs), and 381LX153M025A022 (1471 Pcs). The 381LX153M025A022 has the highest availability.
