109LBA016M2CC Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The 109LBA016M2CC is a 10000 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor in the LBA series. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high capacitance in a compact through-hole package. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original 109LBA016M2CC becomes unavailable, when extended operational lifetime at elevated temperatures is required, or when improved electrical performance characteristics are needed for specific application demands.

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Size / Dimension: 0.984" Dia (25.00mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.063" (27.00mm)

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8532.22.0040

Performance Parameters (May Vary):

• Operating Temperature Range (may extend beyond -40°C ~ 85°C)
• Lifetime @ Temperature (may exceed 2000 Hrs @ 85°C)

All identified substitute parts meet the core electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. Variations in performance parameters represent improvements or alternative operational characteristics suitable for different application environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the 109LBA016M2CC.

Direct Substitution (Same Operating Temperature Range):

The 380LX103M016J012 maintains the -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range of the original part while providing improved lifetime performance (3000 Hrs @ 85°C versus 2000 Hrs @ 85°C) and lower ESR (75 mOhm @ 120Hz versus 82.89 mOhm @ 120Hz). This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without thermal environment modifications.

Extended Temperature Operation:

The 381LX103M016J012, B41252B4109M, LGU1C103MELA, and LGY1C103MELA25 all extend the operating temperature range to -40°C ~ 105°C. These parts are appropriate for applications requiring operation in elevated ambient temperature environments or where thermal margin is a design consideration.

Extended Lifetime Performance:

The LGY1C103MELA25 provides the longest operational lifetime at elevated temperature (5000 Hrs @ 105°C), followed by 381LX103M016J012 and LGU1C103MELA (both 3000 Hrs @ 105°C). Selection among these should be based on application duty cycle and expected service life requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility Note:

The B41252B4109M has a slightly larger diameter (1.000" / 25.40mm versus 0.984" / 25.00mm). Verify PCB layout clearances before selection if space constraints exist.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitute parts as a direct replacement for the 109LBA016M2CC?

A: All listed substitute parts share identical capacitance (10000 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00mm), and package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In). They are mechanically and electrically compatible for through-hole mounting. The 380LX103M016J012 maintains the same operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The remaining substitutes extend the upper operating temperature to 105°C, which does not prevent their use in applications designed for 85°C operation.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer, series designation, and performance characteristics. The 380LX103M016J012 is a direct Cornell Dubilier alternative with improved ESR and lifetime at 85°C. The 381LX103M016J012, B41252B4109M, LGU1C103MELA, and LGY1C103MELA25 are extended-temperature variants rated to 105°C, with varying lifetime ratings at elevated temperature. The LGY1C103MELA25 offers the longest lifetime (5000 Hrs @ 105°C).

Q: Does the B41252B4109M's larger diameter affect compatibility?

A: The B41252B4109M has a diameter of 1.000" (25.40mm) compared to 0.984" (25.00mm) for other parts. This 0.40mm difference is minor but should be verified against PCB layout and component spacing requirements to ensure no interference with adjacent components or board features.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 Compliant designation and REACH Unaffected status, matching the regulatory compliance profile of the 109LBA016M2CC.

Q: Which substitute should I select for a high-reliability application?

A: Selection depends on application temperature environment and required service life. For standard 85°C operation, the 380LX103M016J012 provides improved performance over the original part. For applications requiring extended temperature operation or longer service life, the LGY1C103MELA25 offers the highest lifetime rating (5000 Hrs @ 105°C) among all substitutes.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same circuit?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet the same core electrical and mechanical specifications. However, for consistency in circuit performance and maintenance documentation, using a single part number across identical circuit positions is recommended.
