Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Physical Diameter: 0.248" (6.30mm) (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (must cover this range)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (must maintain)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (must match)

Performance Parameters (Allowable Variation):

• ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance): Lower values indicate improved performance
• Lifetime @ Temperature: Equal or greater values are acceptable
• Ripple Current Ratings: Equal or greater values are acceptable
• Impedance: Lower values indicate improved performance
• Height and land size dimensions: Minor variations acceptable within PCB layout constraints

The two identified substitute parts (ATB106M050 and MAL215371109E3) satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and represent direct functional equivalents with enhanced or equivalent performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

106AXZ050M (Main Part): The 106AXZ050M remains the primary selection for general purpose applications. This part maintains Active product status with established supply availability (862 pcs in stock). It meets all RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements and carries MSL 1 rating for unlimited moisture sensitivity protection.

ATB106M050 (Upgrade Substitute): The ATB106M050 is classified as an upgrade substitute due to superior performance characteristics while maintaining identical electrical specifications. This part demonstrates reduced ESR (15.92 Ohm @ 120Hz versus 19.894 Ohm), extended lifetime rating (3000 hours @ 105°C versus 2000 hours), and improved ripple current handling at low frequency (98 mA @ 120 Hz versus 82.5 mA). The ATB106M050 is optimized for bypass and decoupling applications. Physical compatibility is confirmed with matching diameter (6.30mm) and compatible height (5.70mm maximum). Land size shows minor width variation (7.10mm versus 6.60mm) which remains within standard PCB layout tolerances. Active product status and full compliance certifications are maintained. Higher inventory availability (1701 pcs) supports supply chain continuity.

MAL215371109E3 (Direct Substitute): The MAL215371109E3 from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components is a direct functional equivalent meeting all mandatory parameter requirements. This part demonstrates significantly lower ESR (3 Ohm @ 100kHz) compared to the main part, indicating superior high-frequency performance. Physical dimensions are compatible with matching diameter (6.30mm) and slightly reduced height (5.30mm maximum). Land size matches the main part exactly (6.60mm x 6.60mm). Active product status and full compliance certifications are maintained. Inventory availability (1115 pcs) supports component sourcing. This part is packaged in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

All three parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements for ESR performance, lifetime rating, ripple current capacity, and packaging format preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ATB106M050 be used as a direct replacement for 106AXZ050M?

A: Yes. The ATB106M050 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 10 µF capacitance, 50 V rating, ±20% tolerance, polar configuration, surface mount radial can package, and 6.30mm diameter. Physical height variation (5.70mm versus 5.50mm) and land size width variation (7.10mm versus 6.60mm) are within standard PCB layout tolerances. The upgrade substitute offers improved ESR and extended lifetime characteristics.

Q: What are the key differences between ATB106M050 and MAL215371109E3?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with matching capacitance, voltage, tolerance, and package type. Primary differences include: (1) Manufacturer source (Cornell Dubilier versus Vishay), (2) ESR performance (15.92 Ohm @ 120Hz versus 3 Ohm @ 100kHz), (3) Lifetime rating (3000 hours versus 2000 hours @ 105°C), (4) Packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), (5) Physical height (5.70mm versus 5.30mm maximum). Selection depends on application requirements for frequency response, thermal cycling endurance, and assembly process compatibility.

Q: Are there any PCB layout compatibility concerns with these substitutes?

A: Physical compatibility is confirmed for all three parts. The 106AXZ050M and MAL215371109E3 share identical land size (6.60mm x 6.60mm square). The ATB106M050 shows land size width variation (7.10mm versus 6.60mm), which remains within standard PCB design tolerances for surface mount radial can components. Height variations (5.50mm, 5.70mm, and 5.30mm maximum) are negligible for clearance considerations in typical PCB assemblies. Verify specific PCB layout constraints for your application before final selection.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same compliance certifications?

A: Yes. All three parts (106AXZ050M, ATB106M050, and MAL215371109E3) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8532.22.0020) are identical across all parts. Compliance documentation is maintained for all Active product status components.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for high-frequency ripple current applications?

A: The ATB106M050 demonstrates superior ripple current handling at high frequency (140 mA @ 100 kHz versus 165 mA for the main part). However, the MAL215371109E3 exhibits significantly lower ESR (3 Ohm @ 100kHz), which provides superior impedance characteristics for high-frequency filtering applications. Selection depends on whether ripple current capacity or impedance performance is the primary design criterion.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same production batch?

A: All three parts are functionally equivalent and meet identical electrical specifications. However, they originate from different manufacturers (Cornell Dubilier and Vishay) and different series (AXZ, ATB, and 153 CRV). Production batch consistency may require sourcing from a single manufacturer or series. Verify your quality assurance and traceability requirements before intermixing parts from different sources.
