ECO-S2HP680BA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ECO-S2HP680BA is a 68 µF, 500 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can snap-in configuration manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

The TS-UP series capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high voltage energy storage with specified ripple current handling across frequency ranges. Due to its obsolete status, direct replacement sourcing requires evaluation of equivalent parts that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the original design specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ECO-S2HP680BA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Electrical Equivalence:

• Capacitance: 68 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 500 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR @ 120 Hz: 2.438 Ω (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ 85°C: 3000 Hrs (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 85°C (exact match required)
• Ripple Current @ 120 Hz: 780 mA (exact match required)

Mandatory Mechanical Equivalence:

• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Case Diameter: Dimensional tolerance within PCB layout constraints
• Height (Seated Max): Dimensional tolerance within enclosure clearance constraints
• Ripple Current @ High Frequency: Variation permitted (100 kHz vs. 20 kHz specification)
• Product Status: Active status preferred over obsolete for new procurement
• Compliance Certifications: RoHS3 and REACH status improvements acceptable

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: 380LX680M500H032 (direct manufacturer equivalent) and 380LX680M500J012 (similar manufacturer equivalent with active product status).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

380LX680M500H032 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics)

This part provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the ECO-S2HP680BA. All critical parameters match exactly: capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ESR, lifetime rating, operating temperature range, and ripple current specifications. Lead spacing and mounting configuration are identical. The case diameter and height remain within the original specifications (0.866" diameter, 1.457" height vs. 1.378" original height). This part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting modern regulatory requirements. However, it retains obsolete product status, limiting long-term availability.

380LX680M500J012 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics)

This part meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ESR, lifetime, operating temperature, and ripple current at 120 Hz are identical to the original specification. Lead spacing and mounting type match exactly. The primary distinction is active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Dimensional variations exist: case diameter increases to 0.984" (25.00 mm) and height reduces to 1.063" (27.00 mm). These dimensional changes require PCB layout verification to confirm adequate clearance and mounting compatibility. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are provided.

Selection Criteria:

For applications where PCB layout accommodates the larger case diameter and reduced height of the 380LX680M500J012, this part is preferred due to active product status and assured long-term availability. For applications with strict dimensional constraints matching the original 22.00 mm diameter specification, the 380LX680M500H032 provides direct dimensional compatibility, though with limited future availability due to obsolete status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 380LX680M500J012 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the ECO-S2HP680BA?

A: Electrical compatibility is complete. Mechanical compatibility requires verification. The 380LX680M500J012 has a larger case diameter (0.984" vs. 0.866") and shorter height (1.063" vs. 1.378"). PCB layout and enclosure clearance must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two CDE substitute parts?

A: Both 380LX680M500H032 and 380LX680M500J012 provide identical electrical performance. The 380LX680M500H032 maintains the original 22.00 mm case diameter. The 380LX680M500J012 has a 25.00 mm case diameter but offers active product status. The 380LX680M500J012 is shorter (27.00 mm vs. 35.00 mm original height).

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts and the original?

A: The original ECO-S2HP680BA does not specify RoHS or REACH status. Both CDE substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

Q: What does "active product status" mean for the 380LX680M500J012?

A: Active product status indicates the part is currently manufactured and available through normal distribution channels. The ECO-S2HP680BA and 380LX680M500H032 are obsolete, meaning production has ended and availability is limited to existing inventory.

Q: Can I use either substitute interchangeably?

A: Electrical interchangeability is confirmed for both parts. Mechanical interchangeability depends on PCB layout constraints. The 380LX680M500H032 requires no layout changes. The 380LX680M500J012 requires verification of case diameter and height clearances.

Q: What is the lead spacing specification, and why does it matter?

A: Lead spacing is 0.394" (10.00 mm) for all three parts. This dimension determines PCB pad spacing and cannot be altered. All substitutes maintain this specification, ensuring through-hole mounting compatibility.

Q: Are the ripple current specifications identical across all three parts?

A: Low-frequency ripple current (780 mA @ 120 Hz) is identical. High-frequency ripple current differs: the original specifies 1.09 A @ 100 kHz, while both substitutes specify 1.09 A @ 20 kHz. This variation reflects different measurement standards and does not affect functional equivalence for general-purpose applications.
