ECE-V1CS100SR Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECE-V1CS100SR is a 10 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in surface mount radial can package manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C, serving general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low-frequency ripple current handling.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECE-V1CS100SR is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Case diameter: 0.118" (3.00mm) to 0.157" (4.00mm) acceptable with PCB land pattern verification
• Maximum height: 0.213" (5.40mm) or less acceptable
• Surface mount land size: 0.130" x 0.130" (3.30mm x 3.30mm) to 0.169" x 0.169" (4.30mm x 4.30mm) acceptable with PCB layout verification
• Lifetime @ 85°C: 1000 hours minimum acceptable
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum acceptable
• Ripple current ratings: May vary based on application requirements

The identified substitute parts meet all mandatory matching parameters and fall within acceptable variation ranges for mechanical and thermal characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AVE106M16A12T-F (Cornell Dubilier Electronics): This substitute provides direct dimensional compatibility with identical case diameter (0.118" / 3.00mm) and surface mount land size (0.130" x 0.130" / 3.30mm x 3.30mm). The part offers improved thermal performance with 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C versus the original 1000 hours. ROHS3 compliance status provides regulatory advantage for new designs. The slightly lower ripple current rating at 120 Hz (14 mA versus 20 mA) requires verification against application requirements. Packaging in cut tape format supports standard assembly processes.

UWX1C100MCL1GB (Nichicon): This substitute meets all electrical specifications with identical capacitance, voltage, and tolerance parameters. The larger case diameter (0.157" / 4.00mm) and expanded surface mount land size (0.169" x 0.169" / 4.30mm x 4.30mm) require PCB layout verification to confirm physical fit within available board space. The part delivers superior ripple current handling at 120 Hz (23 mA versus 20 mA) and extended thermal lifetime (2000 hours at 85°C). ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status support regulatory requirements. Availability in both cut tape and Digi-Reel packaging provides supply chain flexibility.

Both substitutes are classified as obsolete, consistent with the original part status. Selection between alternatives depends on PCB layout constraints, ripple current requirements, and packaging format preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AVE106M16A12T-F be used as a direct replacement without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The AVE106M16A12T-F maintains identical case diameter (0.118" / 3.00mm) and surface mount land size (0.130" x 0.130" / 3.30mm x 3.30mm) as the ECE-V1CS100SR, enabling direct substitution without PCB layout changes.

Q: What are the physical constraints when using UWX1C100MCL1GB?

A: The UWX1C100MCL1GB has a larger case diameter (0.157" / 4.00mm) and expanded surface mount land size (0.169" x 0.169" / 4.30mm x 4.30mm) compared to the original part. PCB layout verification is required to confirm adequate clearance and that the larger land pattern does not conflict with adjacent components or traces.

Q: How do ripple current ratings affect component selection?

A: Ripple current capacity determines the maximum AC current the capacitor can safely handle at specified frequencies. The original ECE-V1CS100SR is rated for 20 mA at 120 Hz. The AVE106M16A12T-F provides 14 mA at 120 Hz, requiring confirmation that application ripple current does not exceed this limit. The UWX1C100MCL1GB provides 23 mA at 120 Hz, offering margin above the original specification.

Q: What is the significance of the extended lifetime ratings in substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts offer 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C compared to the original 1000 hours. This extended thermal endurance provides improved reliability margin in applications operating at elevated temperatures, though it does not change the fundamental electrical performance or compatibility.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between the options?

A: The original ECE-V1CS100SR is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts (AVE106M16A12T-F and UWX1C100MCL1GB) are ROHS3 compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for new product designs and markets with RoHS mandates.

Q: How should packaging format be considered in the selection process?

A: The AVE106M16A12T-F is supplied in cut tape format. The UWX1C100MCL1GB is available in both cut tape and Digi-Reel packaging. Selection should align with existing assembly line equipment and inventory management practices.
