Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2700 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.512" Dia × 0.846" Height (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Radial configuration (exact match required)
• Packaging: Cut Tape (CT) (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The substitute part 860020378022 meets all critical parameter requirements for functional interchangeability. Variations in operating temperature range, lifetime rating at different temperatures, and ripple current specifications do not preclude substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part 860010378022 and substitute part 860020378022 are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific thermal requirements and inventory availability.

The main part 860010378022 is specified for operation within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range with a 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C. The substitute part 860020378022 extends the operating temperature range to -40°C to 105°C and maintains the same 2000-hour lifetime specification at the elevated temperature of 105°C. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in all critical parameters.

For applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C range, either part provides equivalent performance. For applications requiring extended thermal margin or operation approaching 105°C, the substitute part 860020378022 offers enhanced temperature capability while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 860020378022 be used as a direct replacement for 860010378022?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (2700 µF), voltage rating (16 V), polarization, lead spacing (5.00mm), physical dimensions (0.512" Dia × 0.846" Height), mounting type (Through Hole, Radial), and packaging (Cut Tape). The substitute part is electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are the series designation (WCAP-ATG8 versus WCAP-ATG5) and thermal specifications. The substitute part 860020378022 operates across a wider temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and maintains its 2000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C rather than 85°C. Ripple current specifications also differ between the two series.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting 860020378022 for 860010378022?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for PCB layout, mounting, or electrical function. Both parts use identical lead spacing and physical dimensions, requiring no changes to circuit board design or assembly procedures.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on application thermal requirements. If the circuit operates within -40°C to 85°C, either part is suitable. If thermal margin is desired or operation approaches 105°C, select 860020378022 for enhanced temperature capability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 860010378022 and 860020378022 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
