Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ALS71A362KE250 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part ALS70A362KE250 maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 3600 µF
• Voltage Rating: 250 V
• Tolerance: ±20%
• ESR: 74 mOhm @ 100Hz
• Lifetime: 18000 Hrs @ 85°C
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Ripple Current @ 100 Hz: 8.7 A
• Ripple Current @ 10 kHz: 13.6 A

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package Type: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Physical Dimensions: 2.008" Dia (51.00mm)
• Height: 3.307" (84.00mm)
• Lead Spacing: 0.874" (22.20mm)

Compliance & Certifications (Must Match):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the internal series designation (ALS71 vs. ALS70), which does not affect functional performance or physical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ALS71A362KE250 and ALS70A362KE250 are Active product status components manufactured by KEMET with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on availability and inventory considerations rather than technical differentiation.

The ALS71A362KE250 maintains 1169 pieces in current inventory stock, while the ALS70A362KE250 maintains 1094 pieces. Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance requirements, mechanical fit specifications, and regulatory compliance frameworks. Component selection should prioritize availability and lead time requirements, as functional equivalence is complete across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ALS70A362KE250 be used as a direct replacement for ALS71A362KE250?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The series designation difference (ALS71 vs. ALS70) does not affect performance, compatibility, or physical fit in chassis-mount applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions: 2.008" diameter (51.00mm), 3.307" maximum seated height (84.00mm), and 0.874" lead spacing (22.20mm). Screw terminal configurations are identical, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?
