Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TVX1C152MCD is based on the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (must match or be tighter)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Axial configuration
• Package / Case: Axial, Can format
• Polarization: Polar (electrolytic)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
• Lifetime Rating: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C minimum
• Voltage Rating: Must equal or exceed 16 V

The substitute part 158TTA035M meets all substitution criteria. While it carries a higher voltage rating (35 V versus 16 V), this represents an upgrade that maintains full compatibility in the application circuit. The identical capacitance, tolerance, temperature range, lifetime rating, and axial through-hole package ensure direct functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 158TTA035M is a direct functional substitute for the TVX1C152MCD. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute part is currently in active production status with 3105 units available in inventory, whereas the original part is obsolete with limited stock.

The elevated voltage rating of the 158TTA035M (35 V versus 16 V) provides additional design margin without compromising circuit performance. This upgrade maintains all critical electrical characteristics: identical capacitance, tolerance, temperature range, and lifetime rating. The physical package dimensions (0.630" Dia x 1.220" L) are compatible with through-hole mounting applications designed for the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 158TTA035M replace the TVX1C152MCD in all applications?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all critical electrical parameters and maintains the same axial through-hole package format. The higher voltage rating (35 V) is compatible with circuits designed for 16 V operation.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The 158TTA035M has documented dimensions of 0.630" Dia x 1.220" L (16.00mm x 31.00mm). Both parts use identical axial, can-style packaging suitable for through-hole mounting.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The 158TTA035M carries a 35 V rating compared to the original 16 V rating. This represents a higher voltage capability and does not affect compatibility in circuits operating at or below 16 V. The substitute provides additional safety margin.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the TVX1C152MCD and 158TTA035M are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the ESR specification for the substitute part?

A: The 158TTA035M has an ESR of 176.8 mOhm @ 120 Hz, providing documented impedance characteristics for circuit analysis and thermal calculations.
