Vishay Sprague 511D107M025CC3D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Vishay Sprague 511D107M025CC3D is a 100 µF, 25 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package configuration. This component is rated for 1000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. The part is currently active in production status with 836 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when the original component reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or design requirements necessitate enhanced performance characteristics such as higher voltage ratings or extended operational lifetime.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Vishay Sprague 511D107M025CC3D is permissible with the Nichicon UPJ1H101MPD6 based on the following alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matched Parameters:

• Capacitance: 100 µF (identical)
• Tolerance: ±20% (identical)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (identical)
• Package Diameter: 0.394" Dia (10.00mm) (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (identical)
• Polarization: Polar (identical)

Enhanced Parameters in Substitute:

• Voltage Rating: 50 V (upgraded from 25 V)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C (upgraded from 1000 Hrs @ 105°C)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C (expanded from -40°C ~ 105°C)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (upgraded from RoHS non-compliant)

The substitute part maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility while providing superior performance characteristics and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Nichicon UPJ1H101MPD6 serves as a direct substitute for the Vishay Sprague 511D107M025CC3D in applications where the original component is unavailable or where design requirements demand enhanced performance.

Selection Basis:

The substitute part achieves ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. The doubled voltage rating (50 V versus 25 V) and quintupled operational lifetime (5000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 1000 Hrs @ 105°C) provide design margin and extended service life in thermal stress environments.

The maximum seated height increases by 0.020" (0.50mm), from 0.630" to 0.650". This dimensional variance must be evaluated against available PCB clearance in the target application.

The substitute part carries a "Not For New Designs" status from the manufacturer, indicating it remains available for replacement and legacy applications but is not recommended for new product development initiatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Nichicon UPJ1H101MPD6 be used as a direct replacement for the Vishay Sprague 511D107M025CC3D?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (100 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (0.197"), package diameter (0.394"), and mounting configuration (through-hole radial can). The substitute provides enhanced voltage rating and lifetime specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference (25 V vs. 50 V)?

A: The substitute part's 50 V rating provides a 2:1 safety margin relative to the original 25 V specification. In circuits operating at or near the original 25 V rating, the higher-rated substitute reduces stress on the dielectric and extends component life.

Q: Does the height difference (0.630" vs. 0.650") affect PCB compatibility?

A: The 0.020" (0.50mm) increase in maximum seated height must be verified against available vertical clearance in the target application. PCB layout review is required to confirm accommodation of this dimensional variance.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean for the substitute part?

A: This designation indicates the Nichicon UPJ1H101MPD6 remains available for replacement and legacy applications but the manufacturer does not recommend its selection for new product development. It is suitable for field replacement and retrofit applications.

Q: How do the lifetime ratings compare?

A: The substitute part is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, compared to 1000 hours for the original part. This five-fold increase in operational lifetime at elevated temperature indicates superior long-term reliability in thermally demanding environments.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Nichicon UPJ1H101MPD6 is ROHS3 compliant, while the Vishay Sprague 511D107M025CC3D is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements must use the compliant substitute.
