Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 860240673003

Part Overview

The Würth Elektronik 860240673003 is a 22 µF, 50 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial configuration with a 5000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C. This component is classified as Active product status and is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and ripple current handling in through-hole mounting designs.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary component reaches end-of-life inventory constraints, when design requirements permit voltage or performance parameter variations, or when alternative manufacturers offer improved availability or cost optimization while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 860240673003 is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 22 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Lifetime: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Size / Dimension: 0.248" Dia (6.30mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.492" (12.50mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial, Can
• Polarization: Polar

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: Equal to or greater than 50 V
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal to or broader than -40°C ~ 105°C
• Ripple Current: Equal to or greater than specified values

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with the following distinctions:

Rubycon 63YXF22MEFCT16.3X11: Voltage rating upgraded to 63 V with increased ripple current capacity. Product status is Not For New Designs.

Nichicon UPV1H220MGD1TD: Voltage rating matches at 50 V with extended lower operating temperature limit (-55°C). Product status is Obsolete.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 860240673003 (Würth Elektronik)

The Würth Elektronik 860240673003 maintains Active product status with full manufacturer support and 1541 units in current inventory. This part is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requiring standard 50 V, 22 µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor functionality.

Secondary Selection: 63YXF22MEFCT16.3X11 (Rubycon)

The Rubycon substitute provides a 63 V voltage rating, offering enhanced voltage margin for applications where circuit conditions may exceed nominal 50 V specifications. Increased ripple current capacity (77 mA @ 120 Hz, 140 mA @ 100 kHz) supports higher current environments. However, this part carries Not For New Designs status, limiting its use to legacy system maintenance or inventory transition scenarios. Availability is substantial at 30499 units.

Tertiary Selection: UPV1H220MGD1TD (Nichicon)

The Nichicon substitute matches the 50 V voltage rating with extended lower operating temperature capability (-55°C minimum versus -40°C). Lower impedance (910 mOhms) provides improved high-frequency performance. This part is classified as Obsolete, restricting its application to replacement scenarios where existing designs require exact electrical characteristics. Inventory availability is 10892 units.

Compliance Considerations:

All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for general-purpose applications. Selection should prioritize Active product status for new designs, with substitute parts reserved for legacy system support or specific performance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Rubycon 63YXF22MEFCT16.3X11 be used as a direct replacement for the Würth Elektronik 860240673003?

A: Yes, within the constraints of your circuit design. The 63 V rating provides higher voltage margin, and increased ripple current capacity supports higher current applications. Physical dimensions and lead spacing are identical, ensuring PCB compatibility. However, the Not For New Designs status indicates this part is not recommended for new product development.

Q: What is the difference between the 50 V and 63 V rated substitutes?

A: The voltage rating indicates the maximum continuous voltage the capacitor can withstand. A 63 V rated capacitor can safely operate at 50 V with additional voltage headroom. The 63 V Rubycon part offers this margin plus higher ripple current handling. Selection depends on circuit voltage stress conditions and thermal environment.

Q: Is the Nichicon UPV1H220MGD1TD suitable for production use?

A: The Nichicon part is classified as Obsolete, meaning the manufacturer no longer actively produces or supports it. While existing inventory may be available, this part should be reserved for replacement applications in legacy systems. New designs should use the Active-status Würth Elektronik part.

Q: Do all three parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm), case diameter (0.248" / 6.30mm), and maximum seated height (0.492" / 12.50mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What does the ±20% tolerance mean for capacitance?

A: The actual capacitance value will fall within ±20% of the nominal 22 µF rating, resulting in a range of 17.6 µF to 26.4 µF. All three parts share this tolerance specification, ensuring equivalent capacitance accuracy.

Q: Are there differences in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) between these parts?

A: ESR data is not provided for the Würth Elektronik primary part. The Rubycon substitute specifies 1.3 Ohms impedance, while the Nichicon substitute specifies 910 mOhms impedance. These values affect high-frequency performance and ripple current handling characteristics.
