Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: 200 V or higher
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C or longer equivalent rating
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -25°C ~ 85°C
• Height - Seated (Max): Physical height variation acceptable within PCB layout constraints

All substitute parts listed maintain the mandatory compatibility parameters. Variations in voltage rating, lifetime specifications, and operating temperature ranges are permitted as these represent equal or superior electrical performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status Applications: Select EKXF251ELL100MJC5S (Chemi-Con KXF series) for applications requiring extended operational lifetime and higher voltage margin. This part offers 15000 hours at 105°C with 250 V rating and Active product status, providing superior reliability for long-term deployment.

Select ESH106M200AH9AA (KEMET ESH series) for applications requiring 200 V rating with Active product status and extended temperature range to 105°C. This part maintains the original voltage specification while offering improved thermal performance.

Select MAL215262109E3 (Vishay 152 RMH series) for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification. This part maintains 200 V rating with Active product status and extended operating temperature range to 105°C.

For Legacy or Cost-Optimized Applications: UVR2D100MPD (Nichicon UVR series) and UVK2E100MPD (Nichicon UVK series) are classified as Not For New Designs. These parts remain electrically compatible but should not be selected for new product development. Existing designs currently using these parts may continue operation without modification.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status consistent with the original ECA-2DM100 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 250 V rated capacitor in place of the 200 V ECA-2DM100?

A: Yes. A higher voltage rating (250 V) is an allowable substitution. The capacitor will operate safely at the original 200 V circuit voltage. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not degrade circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between the Nichicon UVR2D100MPD and UVK2E100MPD substitutes?

A: Both are Nichicon products classified as Not For New Designs. The UVR2D100MPD maintains 200 V rating with 0.492" seated height. The UVK2E100MPD provides 250 V rating with 0.551" seated height. Both share identical capacitance, tolerance, and lead spacing specifications.

Q: Does the height difference between substitute parts affect PCB compatibility?

A: Physical height variation exists among substitute parts (0.492" to 0.551" seated height). Verify PCB layout clearance before substitution. All parts maintain identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm) and diameter (0.394" / 10.00mm), ensuring footprint compatibility. Height differences may affect component clearance to adjacent PCB elements or enclosure constraints.

Q: Why is MAL215262109E3 rated for automotive applications?

A: The MAL215262109E3 carries AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating compliance with automotive industry reliability standards. This part is suitable for automotive circuit applications requiring qualified component sourcing.

Q: Can I substitute an Active status part for a Not For New Designs part?

A: Yes. Substituting an Active product status part for a Not For New Designs part is a valid engineering decision. Active status parts are recommended for new product development. Existing designs using Not For New Designs parts may be updated to Active alternatives without electrical or mechanical modification.

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliant mean for these capacitors?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements, restricting specified hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. All listed parts maintain this compliance status.
