Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 474CKH100M is a direct functional equivalent to the 474KXM100M for applications requiring 0.47 µF, 100 V aluminum electrolytic capacitors in radial through-hole configuration.

Selection Basis:

  1. Electrical Equivalence: Both parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, and tolerance specifications. The substitute meets all minimum performance requirements for ripple current and lifetime at rated temperature.

  2. Mechanical Compatibility: Lead spacing, package dimensions, and mounting type are identical, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

  3. Compliance Status: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for current manufacturing standards.

  4. Product Availability: The 474CKH100M holds active product status, ensuring long-term procurement viability compared to the obsolete 474KXM100M.

  5. Performance Enhancement: The substitute exhibits lower ESR (282.19 Ohm vs. 352.737 Ohm) and higher ripple current ratings, providing improved thermal performance and operational margin.

Temperature Range Consideration: The 474CKH100M operates from -40°C to 105°C, compared to the main part's -55°C to 105°C range. Applications requiring operation below -40°C must retain the original 474KXM100M or identify alternative solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 474CKH100M be used as a direct replacement for the 474KXM100M?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the -40°C to 105°C temperature range. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, lead spacing, and package configuration. The substitute offers improved ESR and ripple current performance.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 474KXM100M is classified as obsolete. The 474CKH100M is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: The 474CKH100M exhibits superior performance characteristics: ESR is reduced from 352.737 Ohm to 282.19 Ohm at 120 Hz, and ripple current ratings are increased (12 mA vs. 8 mA at 120 Hz; 27.6 mA vs. 20 mA at 100 kHz). These improvements indicate lower heat generation and greater current handling capability.

Q: Does the operating temperature range difference affect compatibility?

A: The 474CKH100M's lower temperature limit is -40°C instead of -55°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C, the original 474KXM100M must be retained. For standard industrial and commercial applications (typically -40°C minimum), the substitute is fully compatible.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 474KXM100M and 474CKH100M are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Will the substitute fit the existing PCB layout?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (2.00 mm), diameter (5.00 mm), and maximum height (12.50 mm). No PCB modifications are required.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The 474KXM100M has 1107 pieces in stock (obsolete series). The 474CKH100M has 909 pieces in stock (active series). For new designs, the 474CKH100M is recommended due to active product status.
