Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ECA-2CHG2R2B is determined by electrical equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance value (2.2 µF), rated voltage (160 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), and ripple current specifications. The identified substitute part ECA-2CHG2R2 maintains all electrical and thermal characteristics while differing only in packaging configuration (Bulk versus Tape & Box) and lead spacing (0.098" versus 0.197"). These physical differences do not affect electrical performance or thermal behavior in applications where the component footprint accommodates the alternate lead spacing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both ECA-2CHG2R2B and ECA-2CHG2R2 are Active products with identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications subject to environmental restrictions. Selection between these parts depends on lead spacing accommodation in the target PCB layout. The ECA-2CHG2R2B features 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing, while the ECA-2CHG2R2 provides 0.098" (2.50mm) lead spacing. Both maintain identical electrical performance, thermal ratings, and ripple current specifications. Packaging format (Tape & Box versus Bulk) affects procurement and handling but does not influence electrical or thermal characteristics. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on project timeline and volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ECA-2CHG2R2 replace ECA-2CHG2R2B in all applications?

A: Electrical and thermal equivalence is complete. Physical substitution depends on PCB lead spacing design. The ECA-2CHG2R2 has narrower lead spacing (0.098" versus 0.197"), requiring verification that the target PCB footprint accommodates this dimension.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Box and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Box (TB) packaging provides organized component delivery suitable for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging offers cost efficiency for high-volume manual assembly or inventory applications. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts are rated for 2000 hours of operation at 105°C with identical operating temperature ranges (-25°C ~ 105°C). Thermal performance is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both ECA-2CHG2R2B and ECA-2CHG2R2 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring equivalent regulatory status for restricted substance applications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

A: Capacitance value, rated voltage, tolerance, thermal lifetime rating, and ripple current specifications must match exactly. Physical parameters such as lead spacing and packaging format may differ if the application design accommodates these variations.
