ECE-V0GA101SR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECE-V0GA101SR is a 100 µF, 4 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in surface mount radial can package manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This part operates across -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C and is classified as Obsolete. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability (687 pcs), equivalent substitute parts with matching or superior electrical and mechanical characteristics are necessary for ongoing production and design continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECE-V0GA101SR is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

Capacitance: 100 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 4 V minimum (equal or higher voltage rating acceptable)
Tolerance: ±20% (matching tolerance)
Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C to 85°C minimum
Lifetime: 1000 Hrs @ 85°C minimum

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match)
Size / Dimension: 0.197" Dia (5.00mm) (exact match)
Height - Seated (Max): 0.213" (5.40mm) maximum
Surface Mount Land Size: 0.209" L x 0.209" W (5.30mm x 5.30mm) (exact match)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match)
Polarization: Polar (exact match)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Direct equivalents (matching 4 V voltage rating) and voltage-upgraded alternatives (6.3 V and 10 V ratings). Voltage-upgraded parts provide enhanced reliability margins while maintaining identical physical footprints and electrical performance at the original 4 V operating point.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (4 V Rating):

EEE-0GA101SR is the primary direct equivalent, offering identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. It maintains RoHS compliance and provides significantly higher inventory availability (10219 pcs). Although marked "Not For New Designs," it serves as a functional replacement for existing production runs.

EEE-HB0G101R provides an enhanced alternative at the 4 V rating with extended lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C vs. 1000 Hrs @ 85°C), ROHS3 compliance, and Active product status. The increased height (0.228" vs. 0.213") requires PCB layout verification but maintains identical footprint land size.

Voltage-Upgraded Alternatives (6.3 V and 10 V Ratings):

EEE-0JA101WAR (6.3 V, Active status, ROHS3 compliant) and EEE-1AA101WAR (10 V, Active status, ROHS3 compliant) are suitable for applications where voltage margin enhancement is acceptable. Both maintain identical physical dimensions and land sizes as the original part.

EEE-HAJ101WAR (6.3 V, Active status, ROHS3 compliant) offers extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and 1000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime rating, providing thermal margin for demanding environments.

EEE-HBJ101UAR (6.3 V, Active status, ROHS3 compliant) combines voltage upgrade with extended lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and higher ripple current capability. Height increase to 0.228" requires PCB clearance verification.

EEE-FPJ101UAR (6.3 V, Active status, ROHS3 compliant) delivers the highest performance specifications with 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and significantly higher ripple current (156 mA @ 120 Hz). Height increase to 0.228" and ESR specification (360mOhm @ 100kHz) require design validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 6.3 V or 10 V rated capacitor in place of the 4 V ECE-V0GA101SR?

A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are electrically compatible when operating at lower voltages. A 6.3 V or 10 V capacitor will function correctly in a 4 V circuit, providing additional voltage margin and typically improved reliability. Physical dimensions and land sizes remain identical for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between parts marked "Active" and "Not For New Designs"?

A: "Active" parts are currently in production and recommended for new designs. "Not For New Designs" parts remain available but are in end-of-life phase. For new production, select Active status parts: EEE-0JA101WAR, EEE-1AA101WAR, EEE-HAJ101WAR, EEE-HB0G101R, EEE-HBJ101UAR, or EEE-FPJ101UAR.

Q: Does the height difference between 0.213" and 0.228" affect PCB compatibility?

A: Physical height differences require PCB layout verification. Parts with 0.228" height (EEE-FPJ101UAR, EEE-HB0G101R, EEE-HBJ101UAR) may require clearance validation for components or enclosures in close proximity. Surface mount land size remains constant at 0.209" L x 0.209" W across all substitutes.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for this application?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the capacitor meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The original ECE-V0GA101SR is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for commercial and automotive applications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term reliability?

A: EEE-FPJ101UAR and EEE-HBJ101UAR both provide 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime ratings with extended operating temperature ranges, compared to the original 1000 Hrs @ 85°C. EEE-FPJ101UAR additionally offers the widest temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and highest ripple current capability (156 mA @ 120 Hz).

Q: Are all substitutes AEC-Q200 rated for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings, ensuring suitability for automotive-grade reliability requirements.
