ALS71P562NP500 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ALS71P562NP500 is a 5600 µF, 500 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor with radial, can-style screw terminals manufactured by KEMET. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high-capacitance energy storage at elevated voltage ratings. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 20,000 hours at 85°C.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained within the specified tolerances and ratings of this product category. Substitution becomes necessary due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility requirements while maintaining functional equivalence.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ALS71P562NP500 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 5600 µF (exact match)
• Voltage rating: 500 V (exact match)
• Capacitance tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
• Lifetime specification: 20000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match)
• Ripple current ratings: 16.6 A @ 100 Hz and 24 A @ 10 kHz (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Package type: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals (exact match)
• Mounting type: Chassis Mount (exact match)
• Lead spacing: 31.80 mm (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 77.00 mm diameter, 148.00 mm height (exact match)

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

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

The ALS70A562NP500 meets all substitution criteria with the exception of ESR @ 100Hz, which is 50 mOhm compared to 49 mOhm in the primary part. This variance of 1 mOhm falls within acceptable engineering tolerance for aluminum electrolytic capacitors in this class and does not affect functional performance in general-purpose applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ALS71P562NP500 and ALS70A562NP500 are Active product status components manufactured by KEMET with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

The ALS70A562NP500 is a direct functional equivalent for the ALS71P562NP500 in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are required. The 1 mOhm difference in ESR @ 100Hz between the two parts is within normal manufacturing variation for aluminum electrolytic capacitors and does not introduce functional incompatibility.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, inventory status, and supply chain requirements. Both parts are suitable for general-purpose applications requiring 5600 µF capacitance at 500 V with screw terminal connections and chassis mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
