Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 16ML22MEFCTZ4X7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value must remain 22 µF
• Tolerance must be ±20%
• Voltage rating must be equal to or greater than 16 V
• Operating temperature range must encompass -40°C to 105°C
• Lifetime specification must meet or exceed 5000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Mounting type must be through hole with radial, can package
• Lead spacing must be 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Polarization must be polar

The substitute part 50YXJ22MTA5X11 meets all substitution criteria. It maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, temperature range, and lifetime specifications while providing an elevated voltage rating of 50 V, which is compatible with circuits designed for 16 V operation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 50YXJ22MTA5X11 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 16ML22MEFCTZ4X7. Both components are manufactured by Rubycon and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

The elevated voltage rating of 50 V in the substitute part provides additional design margin for circuits originally specified at 16 V. Physical dimensions differ slightly, with the substitute part measuring 0.197" diameter and 0.492" height compared to the original 0.157" diameter and 0.315" height. Lead spacing remains identical at 0.197" (5.00mm), maintaining PCB footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 50YXJ22MTA5X11 directly replace the 16ML22MEFCTZ4X7 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), lifetime specification (5000 Hrs @ 105°C), and lead spacing (5.00mm). The higher voltage rating of the substitute part is compatible with 16 V circuit applications.

Q: What are the physical differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part has a larger can diameter (0.197" versus 0.157") and greater seated height (0.492" versus 0.315"). Lead spacing remains unchanged at 0.197" (5.00mm). PCB layout verification is necessary to confirm clearance for the taller component.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 16ML22MEFCTZ4X7 and 50YXJ22MTA5X11 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Why does the substitute part have a higher voltage rating?

A: The 50 V rating of the 50YXJ22MTA5X11 reflects its design specifications within the YXJ series. This higher rating does not affect functionality in 16 V applications and provides additional safety margin.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The original 16ML22MEFCTZ4X7 is obsolete with 653 pieces in stock. The substitute 50YXJ22MTA5X11 is active with 10,692 pieces available, ensuring reliable supply for production requirements.
