Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the A765EB187M1CLAE024 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

  • Capacitance value: 180 µF (exact match required)
  • Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
  • Type: Aluminum Polymer (exact match required)
  • Package / Case: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
  • Physical dimensions: 0.248" Dia (6.30 mm) and 0.236" height (6.00 mm) (exact match required)
  • Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
  • Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
  • RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The RSA1C181MCN1GS from Nichicon meets all these criteria and qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the A765EB187M1CLAE024 and RSA1C181MCN1GS are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The RSA1C181MCN1GS exhibits a lower ESR value (22 mOhm versus 24 mOhm), which represents improved performance characteristics. Surface mount land size dimensions differ slightly (6.60 mm versus 6.50 mm), but both remain compatible with standard PCB pad layouts for this package class. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and procurement cost, as electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RSA1C181MCN1GS replace the A765EB187M1CLAE024 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (180 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - SMD), physical dimensions (0.248" diameter, 0.236" height), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). The RSA1C181MCN1GS has a lower ESR specification (22 mOhm), which is a performance advantage.

Q: Are there differences in surface mount land size between these parts?

A: The A765EB187M1CLAE024 specifies 0.260" L x 0.260" W (6.60 mm x 6.60 mm) land size, while the RSA1C181MCN1GS specifies 0.256" L x 0.256" W (6.50 mm x 6.50 mm). Both dimensions are within acceptable tolerances for standard surface mount assembly processes and PCB pad layouts designed for this package class.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the A765EB187M1CLAE024 and RSA1C181MCN1GS are ROHS3 compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8532.22.0020. The RSA1C181MCN1GS additionally carries REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the significance of ESR differences between these parts?

A: The RSA1C181MCN1GS has an ESR of 22 mOhm compared to 24 mOhm for the A765EB187M1CLAE024. Lower ESR reduces heat generation and improves performance in high-frequency ripple current applications. Both parts maintain the same 2000 hour lifetime rating at 105°C.

Q: Are packaging formats different between these parts?

A: The A765EB187M1CLAE024 is supplied in standard packaging, while the RSA1C181MCN1GS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are surface mount components with identical mechanical and electrical specifications.
