Product Overview
Panasonic's ECH-U is a stacked metallized PPS film chip capacitor series, and this listing is its 1500 pF rung. The part number does the rest of the talking: 1H is the 50 V DC rating, 152 is the EIA picofarad code for 1500 pF, which is the .0015uF in the name, and J is the plus or minus 5 percent tolerance code, while Panasonic publishes no table that decodes the trailing B5, so we leave it alone. Our stock of this value sits in a cut length of clear carrier tape laid on a white sheet, sprocket row along the upper edge and cover tape still down over the pockets, with the strip cut squarely through so the last pocket in the frame is open at its edge. Eight filled pockets are in frame, each holding one small bright silver-gray body standing upright with a shallow round dimple in its top face, and no printed capacitance or part marking is visible on any of those bodies in this photo. Ten pieces on the shelf, sold each.
Key Features
- Capacitance: .0015uF (1500 pF), EIA code 152 per Panasonic's published ECH-U decoding
- Capacitance tolerance: plus or minus 5 percent, the J code in Panasonic's published ECH-U tolerance table, where G is the plus or minus 2 percent code
- Rated voltage: 50 V DC, the 1H code per Panasonic's published ECH-U data
- Dielectric: stacked metallized PPS film, mold-less construction, per Panasonic's published ECH-U (ECHU(X)) series data
- Category temperature range: minus 55 to plus 125 degrees C, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Dissipation factor: tan d 0.6 percent or less at 20 degrees C and 1 kHz, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Insulation resistance: 3000 megohms or more, measured at 20 degrees C, 50 V, 60 seconds, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Withstand voltage between terminals: rated voltage times 150 percent for 60 seconds, per Panasonic's published ECH-U series data
- Mounting: surface-mount chip; Panasonic publishes reflow at 260 degrees C maximum, 95 seconds maximum above 220 degrees C, and lists the series RoHS compliant with no safety function
- Series: Panasonic ECH-U; no Panasonic table we can cite decodes the trailing B5, so we assign it no meaning
- Stock on hand: ten pieces, sold each
- Verify against Panasonic's published ECH-U series data before designing in.
Applications
- Time-constant circuits where the RC value has to stay put
- Filter networks in signal and instrumentation paths
- Oscillation and resonance circuits
- Audio circuit positions calling for a stable film part
Frequently Asked Questions
How many should I order? Ten pieces of this capacitance code are on the shelf and they sell each, so ten is the most this page can fill today; order the count the build needs plus a spare, because a body this small vanishes off a pair of tweezers. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free on orders over $28, so small parts like this ship smartest as part of a larger order. Buyers of this value usually clear the $28 line by putting the neighboring ECH-U capacitance codes and the rest of the bench list in the same cart.
What does the J in the part number mean? Per Panasonic's published ECH-U tolerance codes, J is the code for a plus or minus 5 percent capacitance tolerance and G is the code for plus or minus 2 percent. This part number carries J, so the ten pieces on our shelf are the plus or minus 5 percent grade; a design that needs the 2 percent grade wants a G part number and not this one.
Fifteen hundred picofarads of Japanese film, small enough to lose in a shirt pocket and steady enough to build a filter around.
