Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 860160472005 (25 V) directly replace the 860160372005 (16 V) on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions, lead spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), package configuration (Radial, Can), and mounting type (Through Hole). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The rated voltage differs: 860160372005 is rated at 16 V, while 860160472005 is rated at 25 V. Both maintain 33 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, and 4000 hours lifetime at 105°C.

Q: Does the substitute part have better ripple current handling?

A: The 860160472005 exhibits higher ripple current ratings: 90.48 mA @ 120 Hz (versus 74.88 mA) and 174 mA @ 100 kHz (versus 144 mA). The impedance is also lower at 1.72 Ohms compared to 2 Ohms.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 860160372005 and 860160472005 are ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 4000 hours at 105°C.

Q: Can the 16 V part replace the 25 V part?

A: No. The 16 V part (860160372005) has a lower voltage rating and cannot substitute for applications requiring 25 V rated components.
