Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DX-5R5L104T is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 100 mF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 5.5 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: -20%, +80% (exact match required)
• ESR: 75 Ohm (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 1000 Hrs @ 70°C (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Axial, Can - Vertical (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C ~ 70°C (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The substitute part RSCX11045R5F13013U meets all electrical and mechanical parameters. Physical dimension variations (Height - Seated) do not affect functional substitution provided the component fits within the available board space.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: RSCX11045R5F13013U

The RSCX11045R5F13013U is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the DX-5R5L104T across all specified parameters. Both components are manufactured by Elna America and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

Product Status Consideration: The main part (DX-5R5L104T) is classified as Obsolete, while the substitute (RSCX11045R5F13013U) is classified as Not For New Designs. For ongoing production or maintenance applications, RSCX11045R5F13013U provides functional continuity with available inventory (8320 Pcs in stock versus 1083 Pcs for the main part).

Physical Dimension Note: The substitute part has a maximum seated height of 0.532" (13.50 mm) compared to 0.488" (12.40 mm) for the main part. Verify that the additional 0.044" (1.10 mm) height does not conflict with board layout or enclosure constraints before implementation.

Compliance: Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 ECCN classification, HTSUS 8532.29.0040).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RSCX11045R5F13013U be used as a direct replacement for DX-5R5L104T?

A: Yes. Both components have identical electrical specifications (100 mF, 5.5 V, -20%/+80% tolerance, 75 Ohm ESR, 1000 Hrs @ 70°C lifetime) and mechanical mounting characteristics (through-hole, axial can-vertical package, 5.00 mm lead spacing, 11.50 mm diameter). The only difference is seated height (0.532" vs 0.488"). Verify board space availability before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference between the main part and substitute?

A: DX-5R5L104T is Obsolete (no longer manufactured), while RSCX11045R5F13013U is Not For New Designs (limited production, existing inventory only). For applications requiring long-term supply, RSCX11045R5F13013U offers better availability (8320 Pcs in stock) but should not be selected for new product designs. Existing designs using DX-5R5L104T can transition to RSCX11045R5F13013U for maintenance and production support.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8532.29.0040. Regulatory and environmental compliance is identical.

Q: What is the impact of the 1.10 mm height difference on circuit board design?

A: The substitute part (RSCX11045R5F13013U) is 1.10 mm taller than the original (DX-5R5L104T). This difference is negligible for most through-hole applications but must be verified against specific board layout constraints, enclosure clearances, and component placement requirements. No electrical impact occurs from this dimensional variation.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing inventory or production?

A: Yes, provided physical space constraints are satisfied. Both parts are from the same manufacturer (Elna America) and DX series, with identical electrical performance and termination type (PC Pins through-hole). Verify lead spacing (both 5.00 mm) and board hole positioning before substitution.
