Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 36D103G075CC2A is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Capacitance value must match: 10000 µF
• Voltage rating must equal or exceed the original: minimum 75 V
• Tolerance specification must be compatible: -10%, +75%
• Operating temperature range must encompass or match: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Polarization must remain polar

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type must be identical: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals
• Mounting configuration must be compatible: Chassis Mount
• Lead spacing must be within acceptable tolerance: 1.126" (28.60mm)
• Physical dimensions must accommodate the original footprint

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained

The Cornell Dubilier Electronics CGS103U100W4C meets all substitution criteria through matching capacitance, exceeding voltage rating (100 V vs. 75 V), maintaining identical package configuration, and providing superior lifetime characteristics (2000 Hrs @ 85°C vs. 1000 Hrs @ 85°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CGS103U100W4C from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is a direct substitute for the obsolete 36D103G075CC2A. Selection is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The original component is obsolete, while the substitute is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements.

Electrical Performance: The substitute provides a higher voltage rating (100 V vs. 75 V), which is compatible with circuits designed for 75 V operation and provides additional safety margin. The doubled lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 85°C vs. 1000 Hrs @ 85°C) extends component reliability in thermal stress conditions.

Physical Compatibility: Lead spacing and mounting configuration are equivalent within standard manufacturing tolerances. Physical dimensions are slightly reduced, which does not impact circuit board layout compatibility for standard chassis mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CGS103U100W4C be used as a direct replacement for the 36D103G075CC2A?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (10000 µF), tolerance (-10%, +75%), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), polarization (polar), and package configuration (radial, can - screw terminals). The substitute's higher voltage rating (100 V) is compatible with 75 V circuit designs.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The substitute's 100 V rating exceeds the original 75 V specification. This higher rating is compatible with circuits designed for 75 V operation and provides additional voltage margin without affecting circuit function.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: Lead spacing is equivalent (1.126" vs. 1.125"), and both components use identical screw terminal mounting. The substitute's slightly smaller can diameter (2.500" vs. 2.579") and height (4.125" vs. 4.252") do not impact standard chassis mount applications.

Q: What is the advantage of the extended lifetime rating?

A: The substitute provides 2000 hours at 85°C compared to 1000 hours for the original. This doubled rating indicates improved thermal stability and extended operational life under sustained thermal stress conditions.

Q: Are both components RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 36D103G075CC2A and CGS103U100W4C are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Why is the original component listed as obsolete?

A: The 36D103G075CC2A is no longer in active production. The CGS103U100W4C provides equivalent electrical and mechanical functionality with the advantage of active production status and improved lifetime characteristics.
