T6W2NR Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The T6W2NR is a 2 µF film capacitor rated for 600V DC operation, manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This radial, can-style component features a paper metallized dielectric and is designed for EMI and RFI suppression applications in chassis-mounted configurations. The T6W2NR carries an obsolete product status, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and repair operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the T6W2NR is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 600V DC minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±10% (equal or tighter acceptable)
• Dielectric material: Paper, Metallized (functional equivalent)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package style: Radial, Can (form factor compatibility)
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount, Requires Holder/Bracket (installation compatibility)
• Termination: Threaded, Male (connection compatibility)
• Lead spacing: 0.810" (20.57mm) (PCB layout compatibility)
• Physical dimensions: 2.160" L x 1.310" W, maximum height 2.190" (spatial fit)

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (thermal compatibility)

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters without deviation. Parts meeting these criteria are functionally interchangeable within the original application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T6W2NR-F is a direct functional equivalent to the T6W2NR. Both components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental operating parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance.

Selection Basis:

The T6W2NR carries obsolete status, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The T6W2NR-F maintains active production status with 669 units currently in stock, compared to 1,126 units of the obsolete T6W2NR. This availability differential supports T6W2NR-F selection for new procurement and long-term system support.

The T6W2NR-F achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the T6W2NR is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements or environmental compliance mandates, the T6W2NR-F is the appropriate selection. Both components maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Packaging differs between the two parts: the T6W2NR is supplied in standard packaging, while the T6W2NR-F is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement logistics but does not impact functional performance or compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the T6W2NR-F replace the T6W2NR in existing applications?

A: Yes. The T6W2NR-F is electrically and mechanically identical to the T6W2NR across all critical parameters: capacitance (2 µF), voltage rating (600V DC), tolerance (±10%), dielectric material (paper metallized), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), package style (radial can), mounting configuration (chassis mount with holder/bracket), termination type (threaded male), lead spacing (0.810"), and physical dimensions (2.160" L x 1.310" W, 2.190" max height). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification or mechanical redesign.

Q: What is the primary reason to use T6W2NR-F instead of T6W2NR?

A: The T6W2NR is obsolete and has limited remaining inventory. The T6W2NR-F is in active production with greater availability. Additionally, the T6W2NR-F achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the T6W2NR does not. For new designs and ongoing system support, the T6W2NR-F is the recommended selection.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting T6W2NR-F for T6W2NR?

A: No. Both components feature identical mechanical specifications: radial can package, chassis mount configuration requiring holder/bracket, threaded male termination, 0.810" lead spacing, and identical physical dimensions (2.160" L x 1.310" W with 2.190" maximum seated height). No mechanical modifications to mounting hardware, PCB layout, or bracket assemblies are required.

Q: Does the packaging difference between T6W2NR and T6W2NR-F affect component performance?

A: No. The T6W2NR is supplied in standard packaging while the T6W2NR-F is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging type affects procurement and logistics only; it does not influence electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional operation within the application.

Q: Are both parts suitable for EMI and RFI suppression applications?

A: Yes. Both the T6W2NR and T6W2NR-F are specified for EMI and RFI suppression applications. Identical electrical and thermal characteristics ensure equivalent performance in these application contexts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both components?

A: Both the T6W2NR and T6W2NR-F operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. This identical thermal specification ensures equivalent performance across all environmental conditions within the specified range.

Q: Is the T6W2NR-F available in the same lead spacing as the T6W2NR?

A: Yes. Both components feature 0.810" (20.57mm) lead spacing. PCB layouts designed for the T6W2NR require no modification to accommodate the T6W2NR-F.
