276KXM100M

Part Overview

The 276KXM100M is a 27 µF, 100 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial can packaging manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor. This component is rated for general-purpose applications with a lifetime specification of 4000 hours at 105°C. The part maintains Active product status. Finding substitute components becomes necessary when inventory constraints exist or when design requirements necessitate alternative electrical characteristics within the rated parameter space.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The UPM2A270MPD6 (Nichicon) qualifies as a substitute for the 276KXM100M based on the following matching critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 27 µF (identical)
• Tolerance: ±20% (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 100 V (identical)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C (identical)
• Polarization: Polar (identical)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (identical)
• Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00mm) (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

Both capacitors share mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified parameter boundaries.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 276KXM100M (Active status) is the primary component choice for new designs. The UPM2A270MPD6 (Nichicon) provides a compatible alternative with extended lifetime (5000 hours vs. 4000 hours at 105°C) and superior ripple current handling capabilities. The UPM2A270MPD6 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is ROHS3 compliant. However, its "Not For New Designs" product status indicates it is intended for legacy system support and replacement applications rather than new development initiatives. The height difference (14.50mm vs. 14.00mm) requires verification for board layout clearance compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPM2A270MPD6 be used as a direct replacement for the 276KXM100M?

A: Both capacitors share identical capacitance (27 µF), voltage rating (100 V), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), lead spacing (5.00mm), diameter (10.00mm), and package configuration (radial, through-hole). Physical compatibility requires verification of the height difference: the substitute measures 14.50mm seated height versus 14.00mm for the original component.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Cornell Dubilier/Illinois Capacitor vs. Nichicon), product status (Active vs. Not For New Designs), lifetime rating (4000 vs. 5000 hours at 105°C), ripple current handling (108/270 mA vs. 205/380 mA), impedance (1.4 Ohms vs. 500 mOhms), and height dimension (14.00mm vs. 14.50mm). The substitute includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both the 276KXM100M and UPM2A270MPD6 are ROHS3 compliant. The main part is REACH Unaffected; the substitute is REACH Affected.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 276KXM100M should be specified for new designs as it maintains Active product status. The UPM2A270MPD6 is designated "Not For New Designs" and is intended for legacy applications and replacement scenarios.
