ECA-2CHG010 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECA-2CHG010 is a 1 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial configuration manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and is classified as Active product status. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when higher voltage ratings are required for circuit margin, or when alternative packaging formats are needed for manufacturing processes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for the ECA-2CHG010 is determined by the following criteria:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications: 1 µF capacitance, 160 V rating, ±20% tolerance, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, and identical physical dimensions with 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing.

Voltage Upgrades increase the rated voltage while maintaining all other electrical parameters. These parts are suitable when circuit design requires higher voltage margin or when operating conditions demand increased voltage headroom.

Packaging Variants differ only in lead spacing or tape/reel configuration while maintaining electrical specifications. These accommodate different assembly processes or PCB layouts.

Lifetime Variants may differ in thermal lifetime rating but maintain voltage, capacitance, and physical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: ECA-2CHG010I is the preferred equivalent, maintaining identical electrical and physical specifications while sharing Active product status with the main part. Both Panasonic components are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for equivalent circuit positions.

For Voltage Margin Applications: ECA-2DHG010 (200 V) and ECA-2GHG010 (400 V) are suitable upgrades when circuit design requires higher voltage headroom. Both maintain 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime and are Active products. The ECA-2DHG010 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

For Packaging Accommodation: ECA-2CHG010B provides identical electrical performance with 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing for applications requiring wider PCB pad spacing. This variant carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

For Obsolete Part Replacement: Nichicon equivalents (UPS2C010MED1TD, UPW2C010MED) are classified as Obsolete but remain electrically compatible. UPW2C010MED offers a more compact height of 0.433" (11.00mm) compared to the main part's 0.480" (12.20mm), suitable for space-constrained designs. UVZ2C010MED is a lifetime variant with 1000 Hrs @ 105°C rating and should be selected only when reduced thermal lifetime is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ECA-2CHG010I be used as a direct replacement for ECA-2CHG010?

A: Yes. ECA-2CHG010I is a direct equivalent with identical capacitance (1 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), and physical dimensions including 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing and 0.480" (12.20mm) height.

Q: What is the difference between ECA-2CHG010 and ECA-2CHG010B?

A: The primary difference is lead spacing. ECA-2CHG010 has 0.098" (2.50mm) spacing, while ECA-2CHG010B has 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing. All electrical parameters remain identical. ECA-2CHG010B carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Can I use ECA-2DHG010 or ECA-2GHG010 in place of ECA-2CHG010?

A: Yes, as voltage upgrades. Both maintain 1 µF capacitance and 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime. ECA-2DHG010 provides 200 V rating and ECA-2GHG010 provides 400 V rating. Higher voltage ratings provide additional circuit margin but do not change functional performance at the original 160 V operating point.

Q: Are Nichicon parts suitable replacements?

A: Nichicon equivalents (UPS2C010MED1TD, UPW2C010MED) are electrically compatible but classified as Obsolete. UPS2C010MED1TD matches the main part's specifications exactly. UPW2C010MED offers a more compact height of 0.433" (11.00mm) and may require PCB layout verification.

Q: What is the significance of the UVZ2C010MED lifetime rating?

A: UVZ2C010MED has a reduced thermal lifetime of 1000 Hrs @ 105°C compared to the main part's 2000 Hrs @ 105°C. This part should be selected only when the application's thermal stress profile permits reduced lifetime, as it represents a functional compromise.

Q: Are all listed parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts in this reference list are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
