W3F15C1538AT1A

Overview

The W3F15C1538AT1A is a surface mount feedthrough capacitor from the KYOCERA AVX W3F series. It features a capacitance of 15000 pF with a tolerance of -20% to +50%. The component is rated for a DC voltage of 50V and supports a continuous current of 300 mA. It utilizes an X7R dielectric material and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. The device has a maximum DC resistance of 600 milliohms and is housed in a 1206 (3216 metric) package with four terminals.

Feature Summary

• Integrated feedthrough filter design combining capacitance and low impedance for effective noise suppression
• Surface mount construction suitable for automated assembly processes
• High current handling capability with low DC resistance for power line filtering

Applications

• Smart meter applications requiring EMI suppression
• Alternate energy system circuit protection
• Industrial equipment signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T1A' against official datasheets to confirm packaging configuration, as variations exist within the W3F series. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required reel or cut tape specifications for your manufacturing line.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact 1206 footprint is required for high-capacitance feedthrough filtering. The 50V rating and 300mA current capacity make it suitable for moderate power lines. Verify that the -20% to +50% tolerance aligns with the circuit's noise attenuation requirements and thermal stability needs across the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the W3F series of surface mount feedthrough capacitors designed by KYOCERA AVX. These components are engineered to provide superior electromagnetic interference suppression in space-constrained environments. The series is commonly utilized in applications demanding reliable filtering performance without the need for traditional through-hole mounting methods.

Replacement Considerations

W3F15C1538AT1F is documented as a parameter equivalent substitute.
