Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EDK106M063A9GAA manufactured by KEMET is a parametric equivalent substitute for the 106SML063M. Both components satisfy all critical electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct replacement:

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original design.

Electrical Equivalence: Capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range are identical. Lifetime specification of 2000 Hrs @ 85°C matches the original component, confirming equivalent reliability performance.

Mechanical Compatibility: Case dimensions (0.248" diameter × 0.217" height) and land size (0.260" × 0.260") are identical, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, whereas the original may be supplied in bulk. This difference affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Performance Variance: The substitute exhibits lower ripple current at 120 Hz (20 mA versus 34 mA). This difference is acceptable for general purpose applications where the original ripple current specification exceeds circuit requirements. Applications with high ripple current demands should evaluate this parameter against specific circuit conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EDK106M063A9GAA replace the 106SML063M in all applications?

A: Yes, for applications within the specified electrical and thermal operating envelope. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature range, and physical dimensions. The substitute is suitable for general purpose applications. Applications with specific ripple current requirements should confirm that the substitute's 20 mA @ 120 Hz rating meets circuit demands.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The original 106SML063M is supplied in bulk packaging, while the EDK106M063A9GAA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and offers improved handling efficiency. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or mechanical differences.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components have a case diameter of 0.248" (6.30mm), height of 0.217" (5.50mm), and land size of 0.260" × 0.260" (6.60mm × 6.60mm). PCB footprints and mounting pads are directly compatible without layout modifications.

Q: Does the lower ripple current rating of the substitute affect performance?

A: The substitute's ripple current rating of 20 mA @ 120 Hz is lower than the original's 34 mA @ 120 Hz. For general purpose applications, this difference is typically acceptable. Applications with high AC ripple current demands should verify that the substitute's rating meets specific circuit requirements before implementation.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 106SML063M and EDK106M063A9GAA are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), confirming compliance with environmental and moisture sensitivity standards.

Q: What is the lifetime specification for both components?

A: Both components are rated for 2000 Hrs @ 85°C, indicating equivalent reliability performance under thermal stress conditions. This specification ensures consistent long-term performance in both original and substitute applications.
