106BPS063M Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 106BPS063M is a 10 µF, 63 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor in the BPS series. This radial, through-hole component is designed for audio applications and maintains an active product status with 932 units currently in stock. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C. Identifying equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, inventory optimization, or application-specific requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 106BPS063M are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic requires exact alignment across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Capacitance value: 10 µF
• Voltage rating: 63 V
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Polarization: Bi-Polar

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Package type: Radial, Can
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Lead spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Diameter: 0.248" (6.30mm)

Performance Parameters (Required for Compatibility):

• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C minimum

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• REACH unaffected status

Substitute parts must satisfy all critical parameters to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit redesign or PCB modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 106BPS063M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor)

The 106BPS063M maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability of 932 units. This part is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production due to its active lifecycle support and established supply chain. The component carries full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Substitute Selection: UVP1J100MED (Nichicon)

The UVP1J100MED from Nichicon satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical substitution parameters. This part matches the 106BPS063M across capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (63 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (Bi-Polar), package configuration (Radial, Can), lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm), and diameter (0.248" / 6.30mm). Both components operate across the identical temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) and maintain the same lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 85°C).

Important Consideration: The UVP1J100MED carries an obsolete product status. This designation indicates that Nichicon has discontinued active manufacturing and support for this part. While the component remains electrically and mechanically compatible, its use should be limited to applications requiring substitute availability when the primary 106BPS063M is unavailable. The obsolete status may impact long-term supply reliability and future procurement options.

Compliance Verification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for applications subject to these requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UVP1J100MED directly replace the 106BPS063M on an existing PCB?

A: Yes. The UVP1J100MED matches all critical mechanical parameters including lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm), diameter (0.248" / 6.30mm), and mounting type (Through Hole). The seated height difference (0.512" vs 0.492") is within acceptable tolerance for through-hole applications and does not affect PCB compatibility.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (63 V), tolerance (±20%), and ripple current at 120 Hz (57 mA). The ESR specification is provided for the 106BPS063M (19.894 Ohm @ 120Hz) but not for the UVP1J100MED. High-frequency ripple current specifications differ due to different test conditions (96.9 mA @ 50 kHz for 106BPS063M versus 114 mA @ 10 kHz for UVP1J100MED), reflecting manufacturer test methodology rather than fundamental incompatibility.

Q: What does the obsolete status of the UVP1J100MED mean for my application?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Nichicon has discontinued manufacturing and active support for this part. While existing inventory may be available through distributors, future procurement cannot be guaranteed. The UVP1J100MED should be considered a temporary substitute when the active 106BPS063M is unavailable, not a long-term alternative.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the 106BPS063M and UVP1J100MED are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying current regulatory standards for electronic components in regulated markets.

Q: What is the significance of the bi-polar polarization specification?

A: Bi-polar polarization indicates that both parts can operate with either polarity applied to the leads. This characteristic is critical for audio applications where AC signals may reverse polarity. Any substitute must maintain this same polarization type to ensure proper circuit operation.

Q: Are there any physical clearance concerns when substituting the UVP1J100MED?

A: No. The UVP1J100MED maintains the same diameter (0.248" / 6.30mm) and lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm) as the 106BPS063M. The seated height is slightly shorter (0.492" versus 0.512"), which presents no clearance issues in standard through-hole applications.

Q: Can I use the UVP1J100MED in new product designs?

A: The UVP1J100MED is not recommended for new designs due to its obsolete status. The 106BPS063M should be specified for all new development to ensure long-term supply chain stability and manufacturer support throughout the product lifecycle.
