Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute 860010372005 with 860020372005 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are direct equivalents with identical capacitance (68 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), and physical dimensions. The primary difference is the maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 85°C) and lifetime rating at that temperature. Substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the upgrade parts 860080372003 and 860160372009?

A: Both upgrade parts extend the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 105°C. The primary distinction is the lifetime specification: 860080372003 provides 2000 hours at 105°C, while 860160372009 provides 4000 hours at 105°C. The 860160372009 is recommended for applications requiring extended component lifespan and maximum reliability.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original 860010372005?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical lead spacing (0.079" / 2.00 mm), physical diameter (0.197" / 5.00 mm), and height (0.492" / 12.50 mm). Through-hole mounting configuration is consistent across all parts, ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different ripple current ratings?

A: Ripple current specifications vary among the substitute parts. The 860160372009 provides 228 mA @ 100 kHz, while 860080372003 provides 230 mA @ 100 kHz. These differences do not affect functional substitution but may be relevant for applications with specific ripple current requirements.
