108BPS010M Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 108BPS010M is a 1000 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for audio applications. The capacitor features bi-polar polarization, 2000 hours lifetime at 85°C, and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary component becomes unavailable, when design requirements shift to different product lines, or when alternative manufacturers' components meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications. This reference provides direct equivalents and upgrade options based on matching core parameters.

Substitute Categories:

Direct Equivalent: UVP1A102MHD (Nichicon) - Matches all core electrical and mechanical parameters at 10 V rated voltage.

Upgrade Option: 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 (Rubycon) - Exceeds voltage rating at 16 V while maintaining identical mechanical form factor and electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection - UVP1A102MHD (Nichicon):

The UVP1A102MHD is the direct equivalent for the 108BPS010M. Both components share identical electrical specifications (1000 µF, 10 V, ±20% tolerance, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C) and mechanical form factors (radial, can package, 12.50mm diameter, 22.00mm height, 5.00mm lead spacing). Both are ROHS3 compliant. The UVP1A102MHD is suitable for direct substitution in existing designs where the 108BPS010M is specified. However, the UVP1A102MHD carries "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it may have limited long-term availability.

Upgrade Option - 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 (Rubycon):

The 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 provides a voltage upgrade path, rated at 16 V compared to the 10 V rating of the primary part. This component maintains identical mechanical compatibility and capacitance value. The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin in applications where voltage stress is a consideration. The 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 is classified as Obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production.

Compliance Considerations:

All three components are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The 108BPS010M and 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 are REACH Unaffected. The UVP1A102MHD is REACH Affected, requiring compliance verification for applications subject to REACH regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVP1A102MHD be used as a direct replacement for 108BPS010M?

A: Yes. The UVP1A102MHD matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 1000 µF capacitance, 10 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime, bi-polar polarization, and identical radial can package dimensions (12.50mm diameter, 22.00mm height, 5.00mm lead spacing). Both are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for through-hole mounting.

Q: What is the difference between the 108BPS010M and 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20?

A: The primary difference is the voltage rating: 108BPS010M is rated at 10 V, while 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 is rated at 16 V. All other parameters are identical: 1000 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime, bi-polar polarization, and matching mechanical form factor. The higher voltage rating of the Rubycon part provides additional voltage margin.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three components share identical mechanical specifications: 0.492" (12.50mm) diameter, 0.866" (22.00mm) maximum seated height, 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing, radial can package, and through-hole mounting. They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for the 108BPS010M footprint.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status on the UVP1A102MHD?

A: This status indicates that Nichicon is not recommending the UVP1A102MHD for new product designs. It may have limited availability or planned discontinuation. For new designs, alternative sources or the upgrade option (16NA1000MEFC12.5X20) should be evaluated, though that part is also classified as Obsolete.

Q: Can the 16V-rated 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 be used in a circuit designed for 10V?

A: Yes. A higher voltage-rated capacitor can be used in applications specified for lower voltage. The 16 V rating of the 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 exceeds the 10 V requirement of the original design, providing additional safety margin. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the ripple current differences between these parts?

A: The 108BPS010M specifies 720 mA @ 120 Hz and 1.0728 A @ 50 kHz. The UVP1A102MHD specifies 720 mA @ 120 Hz and 828 mA @ 10 kHz. The 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 specifies 695 mA @ 120 Hz and 834 mA @ 10 kHz. These variations reflect different measurement conditions and manufacturer specifications but do not affect substitution suitability for standard audio applications.

Q: Are there REACH compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 108BPS010M and 16NA1000MEFC12.5X20 are REACH Unaffected. The UVP1A102MHD is REACH Affected. Applications subject to REACH regulations must account for this difference when selecting between the direct equivalent and upgrade option.
