Engineering Selection Recommendations

100YXJ0.47MT15X11 (Upgrade Substitute): This part is classified as active product status and represents an upgrade path from the obsolete 100YXF0.47MEFCTA5X11. All electrical parameters are identical. The primary difference is lead spacing of 0.098" (2.50mm) versus the original 0.197" (5.00mm). This part is suitable for designs where PCB layout can accommodate the reduced lead spacing. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained.

100YXJ0.47MTA5X11 (Parametric Equivalent): This part is classified as active product status and provides direct parametric equivalence to the main part. All electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly, including lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm). This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing PCB designs without layout modification. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by Rubycon and belong to the YXJ series, representing current production alternatives to the obsolete YXF series component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 100YXJ0.47MT15X11 be used as a direct replacement for 100YXF0.47MEFCTA5X11?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, the lead spacing differs (0.098" versus 0.197"). Direct PCB replacement requires verification that the reduced lead spacing accommodates existing through-hole pad spacing. PCB layout modification may be necessary.

Q: Can 100YXJ0.47MTA5X11 be used as a direct replacement for 100YXF0.47MEFCTA5X11?

A: Yes. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including lead spacing. This part is suitable for direct PCB replacement without modification.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent. The primary difference is lead spacing: 100YXJ0.47MT15X11 has 0.098" (2.50mm) spacing, while 100YXJ0.47MTA5X11 has 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing matching the original part.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 100YXJ0.47MT15X11 and 100YXJ0.47MTA5X11 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance with the original part.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The 100YXF0.47MEFCTA5X11 is classified as obsolete product status. The YXJ series represents the current production equivalent from Rubycon for this capacitance and voltage rating.
