Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 35ML56MEFC8X7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 56 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 35 V (equal or higher voltage rating is acceptable)
• Polarization: Polar (must match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (must match)
• Package Configuration: Radial, Can (must match)
• Lead Spacing: 0.138" (4.60mm) (must match for PCB compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.315" Dia (8.00mm) and height compatibility (must fit available board space)

The Chemi-Con EKZN101ELL560MH20D qualifies as a substitute based on matching capacitance, tolerance, polarization, mounting type, package style, and lead spacing. The higher voltage rating (100 V versus 35 V) and extended lifetime (9000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) represent performance enhancements suitable for direct replacement in the original application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Chemi-Con EKZN101ELL560MH20D is a qualified substitute for the obsolete Rubycon 35ML56MEFC8X7. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

The substitute part provides enhanced electrical performance through higher voltage rating (100 V) and extended operational lifetime (9000 Hrs @ 105°C). These characteristics ensure compatibility with the original circuit design while offering improved reliability margins.

Physical compatibility requires verification of available board height clearance, as the substitute part measures 0.846" (21.50mm) seated height compared to the original 0.315" (8.00mm). Lead spacing and diameter dimensions remain identical, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EKZN101ELL560MH20D replace the 35ML56MEFC8X7 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (56 µF), tolerance (±20%), polarization, mounting type, package configuration, and lead spacing. The substitute part meets or exceeds all critical electrical parameters required for direct replacement.

Q: What is the significance of the higher voltage rating on the substitute part?

A: The substitute part is rated for 100 V compared to the original 35 V. This higher voltage rating does not affect circuit operation at the original 35 V design voltage. The component will function identically in the circuit while providing additional voltage margin and reliability.

Q: Will the taller height of the substitute part cause installation issues?

A: The substitute part measures 0.846" (21.50mm) in seated height versus the original 0.315" (8.00mm). Verify available vertical clearance on your PCB assembly before implementation. If space constraints exist, alternative components with matching electrical specifications and lower profile dimensions may be required.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 35ML56MEFC8X7 and EKZN101ELL560MH20D are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the difference in operational lifetime between these components?

A: The original part is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, while the substitute part is rated for 9000 hours at 105°C. The extended lifetime of the substitute part indicates improved long-term reliability under thermal stress conditions.
