B43540A2188M60 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The B43540A2188M60 is a 1800 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can snap-in package manufactured by EPCOS - TDK Electronics. This component is designed for general purpose applications requiring high capacitance and voltage ratings with extended operational life. The part maintains an active product status with 274,082 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or when design flexibility is required across manufacturing batches. The B43540A2188M000 serves as a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications but differs in packaging configuration and product lifecycle status.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the B43540A2188M60 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1800 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 200 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR specification: 50 mOhm @ 100Hz (exact match required)
• Lifetime rating: 10000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 10.00 mm (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 35.00 mm diameter, 47.00 mm height (exact match required)
• Mounting configuration: Through Hole (exact match required)

The B43540A2188M000 qualifies as a parametric equivalent, matching all electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is packaging format: the main part is supplied in tape format, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts maintain identical performance characteristics and physical footprints suitable for direct board-level substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The B43540A2188M60 is the preferred selection for new designs due to its active product status and standard tape packaging format. This part carries full manufacturer support and is optimized for production environments requiring automated component handling.

The B43540A2188M000 is classified as "Not For New Designs" and should be reserved for legacy system maintenance, repair operations, or applications where existing inventory must be utilized. While electrically and mechanically identical to the main part, its discontinued design status indicates reduced manufacturer commitment to long-term availability and support.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance certifications: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on product lifecycle requirements and inventory strategy rather than technical performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B43540A2188M000 be used as a direct replacement for B43540A2188M60 on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical. They share the same 10.00 mm lead spacing, 35.00 mm diameter, 47.00 mm height, and through-hole mounting configuration. Direct board-level substitution is feasible without design modification.

Q: What is the difference between tape and bulk packaging?

A: Tape packaging (B43540A2188M60) is configured for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging (B43540A2188M000) is supplied loose or in alternative formats suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume operations. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Why is B43540A2188M000 marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been discontinued from the manufacturer's active product line. While currently available in limited inventory, long-term availability cannot be guaranteed. New designs should specify B43540A2188M60 to ensure sustained supply chain support.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and equivalent regulatory classifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8532.22.0040).

Q: What electrical parameters must match exactly for substitution?

A: Capacitance (1800 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (50 mOhm @ 100Hz), lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 85°C), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) must all match exactly. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution.

Q: Can parts from the B43540 series with different voltage or capacitance ratings substitute for this part?

A: No. Only parts matching all specified electrical parameters are acceptable substitutes. Different voltage ratings, capacitance values, or ESR specifications will not provide equivalent circuit performance and are not interchangeable.
