Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute parts are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 226SMH016M:
Direct Substitutes (Same Voltage Rating - 16V): Direct substitutes maintain identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), package dimensions (5.00mm diameter × 5.50mm height maximum), and land size (5.30mm × 5.30mm). These parts are interchangeable without circuit modification. Qualifying parts include 865060342002 (Würth Elektronik WCAP-ASLL), EMVY160ARA220ME55G (Chemi-Con Alchip™-MVY), and UWT1C220MCL1GB (Nichicon UWT).
Upgrade Substitutes (Higher Voltage Rating - 25V or 35V): Upgrade substitutes maintain identical capacitance (22 µF) and tolerance (±20%), with elevated voltage ratings (25 V or 35 V). These parts are electrically compatible in applications where the original 16 V rating is sufficient, as higher voltage-rated capacitors operate safely at lower voltages. Upgrade substitutes include 865060442002, 865080442004, 865080542006 (Würth Elektronik WCAP-ASLL and WCAP-ASLI series at 25V and 35V), EEE-FP1C220AR, EEE-FP1E220AR (Panasonic FP series), and EEV226M035S9DAA (KEMET EEV series). Upgrade parts with automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) include EEE-FP1C220AR, EEE-FP1E220AR, EMZA160ARA220ME61G, and EEV226M035S9DAA.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can 865060342002 be used as a direct replacement for 226SMH016M?
A: Yes. The 865060342002 maintains identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), case diameter (5.00mm), and land size (5.30mm × 5.30mm). The extended lifetime (2000 hours vs. 1000 hours at 105°C) represents an improvement. PCB layout requires no modification.
Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and upgrade substitutes?
A: Direct substitutes maintain the 16 V voltage rating and are electrically and mechanically identical to the original part. Upgrade substitutes feature higher voltage ratings (25 V or 35 V) while maintaining 22 µF capacitance. Upgrade substitutes are compatible in circuits designed for 16 V operation, as they operate safely at lower voltages. Upgrade substitutes provide additional voltage margin for applications where circuit voltage may vary or where design margin is required.
Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original 226SMH016M specification.
Q: Can EMZA160ARA220ME61G be used in space-constrained PCB layouts?
A: The EMZA160ARA220ME61G has a maximum height of 6.10mm, which exceeds the original 5.50mm specification. PCB clearance above the component must be verified before selection. For space-constrained applications, EMVY160ARA220ME55G (5.20mm height) or 865060342002 (5.50mm height) are preferred.
Q: What is the advantage of selecting EEE-FP1C220AR over 226SMH016M?
A: The EEE-FP1C220AR carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and provides extended lifetime (2000 hours vs. 1000 hours at 105°C). It maintains identical capacitance, voltage rating, and case diameter. Maximum height is 5.80mm, requiring PCB clearance verification. This part is suitable for automotive applications requiring qualification documentation.
Q: Can 865080542006 (35V rating) be used in a circuit designed for 16V operation?
A: Yes. The 865080542006 is electrically compatible in circuits designed for 16 V operation. The higher voltage rating (35 V) provides additional voltage margin and does not affect circuit function. The part maintains identical capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±20%), case diameter (5.00mm), and land size (5.30mm × 5.30mm). This selection is appropriate for applications requiring extended voltage margin or high-reliability design.
Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?
A: Direct substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, matching the original 226SMH016M packaging. The UWT1C220MCL1GB is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. The EEE-FP1E220AR is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Tape & Reel format is standard for high-volume production; Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format is suitable for lower-volume or mixed-component applications.
Q: Are all substitute parts rated for -55°C to 105°C operating temperature?
A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range, matching the original 226SMH016M specification.
