Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE1302 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 3 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Polarization Type: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Axial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Technology: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.248" Dia x 0.512" L / 6.30mm x 13.00mm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime Rating: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Tolerance: -10%, +75% (exact match required)

The TE1302-E3 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent part. The primary distinction between these parts is RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE1302 and TE1302-E3 are electrically and mechanically equivalent components suitable for direct substitution in circuit applications. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements:

• TE1302: Select for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable or required by specification.
• TE1302-E3: Select for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or where regulatory requirements mandate lead-free manufacturing processes.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, physical dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Inventory availability should be considered as a secondary factor in component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE1302-E3 be used as a direct replacement for TE1302?

A: Yes. The TE1302-E3 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. All critical parameters including capacitance, voltage rating, physical dimensions, operating temperature range, and lifetime rating are identical. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by exact matching of capacitance value (3 µF), voltage rating (50 V), polarization type (Polar), package configuration (Axial, Can), mounting technology (Through Hole), physical dimensions (0.248" Dia x 0.512" L), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 85°C).

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences between TE1302 and TE1302-E3?

A: No. Both parts share identical physical dimensions of 0.248" Dia x 0.512" L (6.30mm x 13.00mm) and are packaged in the same Axial, Can configuration. PCB layout and mounting hole spacing remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: RoHS3 compliance indicates adherence to lead-free manufacturing standards. TE1302-E3 meets these environmental and regulatory requirements, while TE1302 does not. Selection depends on application regulatory requirements and customer specifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin-compatible, dimensionally identical, and electrically equivalent. No circuit modifications or PCB redesign is required for substitution.
