106HSM050M Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The 106HSM050M is a 10 µF, 50 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor. This component is classified as obsolete, with 635 pieces currently in stock. The HSM series capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring polar electrolytic capacitors with radial lead configuration and through-hole mounting.

Due to the obsolete status of the 106HSM050M, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for ongoing production support, design updates, and long-term component availability. Active alternatives maintain the same electrical specifications while offering improved lifecycle support and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Specifications):

EEU-TA1H100 (Panasonic Electronic Components) is the primary direct substitute. This part maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and lifetime specifications. The component is active in production with ROHS3 compliance. The height dimension is 0.492" compared to the original 0.512", representing a minor reduction that does not affect through-hole mounting compatibility given the 0.138" lead spacing match.

EGXE500ELL100MH12D (Chemi-Con) and UBT1H100MPD8 (Nichicon) are equivalent direct substitutes with identical electrical parameters. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance. These parts feature slightly increased height (0.531") but maintain the same lead spacing and mounting footprint. Both manufacturers provide AEC-Q200 automotive qualification for EGXE500ELL100MH12D and automotive application support for UBT1H100MPD8.

For Applications Requiring Higher Voltage Margin:

UBT2A100MPD8 (Nichicon, 100 V rated) and 100RX3010M8X11.5 (Rubycon, 100 V rated) provide doubled voltage rating while maintaining 10 µF capacitance. These upgrades are suitable for circuits where increased voltage headroom is beneficial. The 100RX3010M8X11.5 offers enhanced thermal performance with 2000 Hrs @ 130°C lifetime rating and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

For Applications Requiring Enhanced Thermal Performance:

50RX3010M8X11.5 (Rubycon) maintains the 50 V rating and 10 µF capacitance while providing improved thermal performance with 2000 Hrs @ 130°C lifetime. This part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications with elevated ambient temperatures or thermal stress conditions.

For Extended Lifetime Applications:

200LEX10MEFC8X11.5 (Rubycon) provides 5000 Hrs @ 125°C lifetime, extending component operational life by 2.5 times compared to the original specification. This part is rated for 200 V, providing significant voltage margin for general-purpose applications requiring extended reliability.

Compliance Considerations:

All active substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original 106HSM050M does not specify RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. All substitute parts are manufactured to current environmental and regulatory standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-TA1H100B be used as a direct replacement for 106HSM050M?

A: EEU-TA1H100B maintains identical electrical specifications (10 µF, 50 V, ±20%, 2000 Hrs @ 125°C) and mounting type (through-hole radial can). However, the lead spacing differs: EEU-TA1H100B has 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing compared to the original 0.138" (3.50mm). This difference requires PCB layout modification and is not a direct pin-compatible replacement.

Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and upgrade parts?

A: Direct substitutes (EEU-TA1H100, EGXE500ELL100MH12D, UBT1H100MPD8) match all electrical and mechanical parameters of the 106HSM050M. Upgrade parts provide enhanced specifications: higher voltage rating (UBT2A100MPD8, 100RX3010M8X11.5) or improved thermal performance (50RX3010M8X11.5). Upgrade parts are backward compatible but provide additional design margin.

Q: Are all substitute parts automotive-qualified?

A: EGXE500ELL100MH12D carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. UBT1H100MPD8 and UBT2A100MPD8 are specified for automotive applications. 100RX3010M8X11.5 and 50RX3010M8X11.5 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. EEU-TA1H100 and EEU-TA1H100B are specified for general-purpose applications without automotive qualification.

Q: What is the significance of the height dimension differences?

A: The original 106HSM050M has a maximum seated height of 0.512" (13.00mm). Substitute parts vary: EEU-TA1H100 and EEU-TA1H100B are 0.492" (12.50mm), while EGXE500ELL100MH12D, UBT1H100MPD8, UBT2A100MPD8, 100RX3010M8X11.5, and 200LEX10MEFC8X11.5 are 0.531" (13.50mm). These variations are within typical PCB clearance tolerances for through-hole components and do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Can 200LEX10MEFC8X11.5 be used in place of 106HSM050M?

A: 200LEX10MEFC8X11.5 maintains identical capacitance (10 µF), tolerance (±20%), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C). The voltage rating is 200 V compared to 50 V, and the lifetime is extended to 5000 Hrs @ 125°C. This part is functionally compatible and provides significant voltage and reliability margin. The higher voltage rating does not create compatibility issues in 50 V circuits.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: EEU-TA1H100 has 2274 pieces in stock. EGXE500ELL100MH12D has 1390 pieces. UBT1H100MPD8 has 641 pieces. UBT2A100MPD8 has 8485 pieces (highest availability). 100RX3010M8X11.5 has 1085 pieces. 50RX3010M8X11.5 has 2900 pieces. 200LEX10MEFC8X11.5 has 2251 pieces. EEU-TA1H100B has 992 pieces.

Q: Are there any REACH or environmental compliance differences between substitute parts?

A: EEU-TA1H100, EGXE500ELL100MH12D, UBT1H100MPD8, UBT2A100MPD8, 100RX3010M8X11.5, 50RX3010M8X11.5, and EEU-TA1H100B are all ROHS3 compliant. EGXE500ELL100MH12D, 100RX3010M8X11.5, 50RX3010M8X11.5, and EEU-TA1H100B are REACH Unaffected. UBT1H100MPD8 and UBT2A100MPD8 are REACH Affected. 200LEX10MEFC8X11.5 is REACH Unaffected.
