Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 106MABA02KJL are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the film capacitor category. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 10 µF
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Voltage Rating - DC: 600V (minimum requirement)
• Dielectric Material: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial
• Lead Spacing: 1.476" (37.50mm)
• Termination: PC Pins

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected

Two substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as follows:

Similar Manufacturer Part (Direct Substitute): B32756G8106K000 by EPCOS - TDK Electronics matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with enhanced AC voltage rating (350V vs. 320V) and improved operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C vs. -40°C ~ 100°C). This part is currently active in production.

Parametric Equivalent (Alternative Substitute): MABA025100KJL by Nichicon provides identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions, maintaining the same series designation (MAB) and operating characteristics. This part is currently active in production.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Motor Run Applications (Primary Use Case):

The MABA025100KJL by Nichicon is the preferred substitute. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and operating temperature range as the obsolete 106MABA02KJL. Both components share the MAB series designation, indicating design compatibility. The Nichicon part is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (717 pcs).

For Applications Requiring Enhanced Temperature Performance:

The B32756G8106K000 by EPCOS - TDK Electronics provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C vs. -40°C ~ 100°C) and higher AC voltage rating (350V vs. 320V). This part is suitable for applications where thermal margin or AC stress conditions exceed the original specification. Physical dimensions are comparable with minimal variation (height difference of 5.5mm). This part is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability (1154 pcs).

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. Selection between the two substitutes depends on specific application thermal and AC voltage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the B32756G8106K000 be used as a direct replacement for the 106MABA02KJL in motor run circuits?

A: Yes. The B32756G8106K000 meets all critical electrical parameters (10 µF, ±10% tolerance, 600V DC, polypropylene metallized dielectric) and mechanical requirements (radial through-hole, 37.50mm lead spacing, PC pins). The enhanced AC voltage rating (350V vs. 320V) and extended temperature range provide additional performance margin. Physical dimensions are compatible with PCB layouts designed for the original part.

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

A: The MABA025100KJL by Nichicon provides identical specifications to the original 106MABA02KJL, including operating temperature range and AC voltage rating. The B32756G8106K000 by EPCOS offers enhanced performance with higher AC voltage rating (350V) and extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the original design.

Q: Are there any physical dimension concerns when substituting these parts?

A: The MABA025100KJL maintains identical dimensions to the original part (42.50mm L x 28.00mm W, 37.00mm height). The B32756G8106K000 has slightly different dimensions (42.00mm L x 28.00mm W, 42.50mm height). Lead spacing remains constant at 37.50mm for all parts. Verify PCB layout clearance, particularly for the B32756G8106K000 due to increased seated height.

Q: Are both substitute parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both B32756G8106K000 and MABA025100KJL are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either part is acceptable based on application requirements. The MABA025100KJL by Nichicon is recommended for direct replacement scenarios requiring identical specifications. The B32756G8106K000 by EPCOS is recommended for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or higher AC voltage margin.
