Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EEU-FK1C152L replace the UPA1C152MPD in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters: 1500 µF capacitance, 16 V rating, ±20% tolerance, 4000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, identical physical dimensions, lead spacing, and impedance characteristics.

Q: Are there any differences in performance between these parts?

A: No performance differences exist within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts meet the same capacitance, voltage, temperature, and impedance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the EEU-FK1C152L?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. The EEU-FK1C152L meets this standard, making it suitable for automotive applications. The UPA1C152MPD does not carry this certification.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm), and maximum height (1.063" / 27.00 mm), ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Q: Can I use either part interchangeably on my PCB?

A: Yes. The identical through-hole lead spacing and physical dimensions allow direct substitution without PCB layout modifications.
