Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ALS80P124NF063 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part ALS80A124NF063 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameter Equivalence:

• Identical capacitance value: 120000 µF
• Identical voltage rating: 63 V
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Identical ESR: 9 mOhm @ 100Hz
• Identical lifetime specification: 9000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C
• Identical ripple current specifications at both 100 Hz and 10 kHz

Mechanical Parameter Equivalence:

• Identical package type: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals
• Identical mounting type: Chassis Mount
• Identical physical dimensions: 3.031" diameter, 4.213" height
• Identical lead spacing: 1.252"

Compliance Equivalence:

• Both parts are RoHS3 Compliant
• Both parts are REACH Unaffected
• Both parts carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

The only distinction between these parts is the base product number designation (ALS80P versus ALS80A), which reflects internal KEMET product line segmentation without affecting functional or physical compatibility.
