Engineering Selection Recommendations

MFR Recommended Substitute: EEE-FN1E101UP

The EEE-FN1E101UP is the manufacturer-recommended upgrade path. It maintains 100 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance while increasing voltage rating to 25 V. This part is Active product status and ROHS3 compliant. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and improved lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C) provide enhanced reliability margins. Height increases to 0.240" (6.10mm); PCB layout verification is required.

Upgrade Substitutes: EEE-FP1C101AP and EEE-HBC101UAP

EEE-FP1C101AP (16 V) and EEE-HBC101UAP (16 V) are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and extended temperature operation to 105°C. Both maintain the 100 µF / ±20% specification. EEE-FP1C101AP height is 0.228" (5.80mm); EEE-HBC101UAP height is 0.228" (5.80mm). These parts provide improved thermal performance compared to the original part.

Parametric Equivalent: EEE-1AA101SP

The EEE-1AA101SP matches the original part's electrical and mechanical specifications exactly (100 µF, 10 V, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C, 0.248" Dia, 0.213" height). However, it is designated Not For New Designs. This part is suitable only for direct replacement in existing designs where the original footprint and specifications are required.

Direct Substitutes from Alternative Manufacturers

107AXZ016MQ5 (Cornell Dubilier) and 107SML016M (Cornell Dubilier) are Active products with 100 µF / 16 V specifications and equivalent physical dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant. 107AXZ016MQ5 operates to 105°C; 107SML016M operates to 85°C. 10SEV100M6.3X5.5 (Rubycon) is Obsolete and not recommended for new applications.

Parts Not Recommended for New Designs

EEE-1AA101WAR and EEE-1AA101WR have reduced physical dimensions (0.197" Dia vs. 0.248" Dia) and lower lifetime rating (1000 Hrs @ 85°C). These parts do not meet the original specification and require PCB redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-FN1E101UP replace EEE-1AA101AP directly?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. The 25 V rating is higher than the 10 V requirement, which is acceptable. Physical dimensions are compatible (0.248" Dia, same land size). Height increases from 0.213" to 0.240"; verify PCB clearance. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between EEE-FP1C101AP and EEE-HBC101UAP?

A: Both are 100 µF, 16 V, Active products with ROHS3 compliance and 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime. EEE-FP1C101AP is packaged in Tape & Reel; EEE-HBC101UAP is packaged in Tape & Reel. Heights are identical at 0.228" (5.80mm). Selection depends on packaging and supply chain requirements.

Q: Can I use EEE-1AA101SP as a direct replacement?

A: Yes, EEE-1AA101SP is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. However, it is designated Not For New Designs. Use only for direct replacement in existing production where the original part is no longer available.

Q: Are Cornell Dubilier parts (107AXZ016MQ5, 107SML016M) compatible?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible. They maintain 100 µF / ±20% tolerance and equivalent physical dimensions (0.248" Dia, 0.260" L x 0.260" W land size). 107AXZ016MQ5 operates to 105°C; 107SML016M operates to 85°C. Both are ROHS3 compliant and Active products. Verify ESR and ripple current specifications for your application.

Q: Why is 10SEV100M6.3X5.5 not recommended?

A: This Rubycon part is designated Obsolete. While it meets the electrical specification (100 µF, 10 V, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C), obsolete status indicates discontinued production and limited availability. Active alternatives are preferred.

Q: What are the key parameters I must verify when substituting?

A: Verify capacitance (100 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (minimum 10 V), polarization (Polar), package type (Radial, Can - SMD), mounting type (Surface Mount), physical dimensions (0.248" Dia, compatible height), and land size (0.260" L x 0.260" W). Confirm PCB layout clearance for height variations. For automotive applications, verify AEC-Q200 compliance.

Q: Can I use a higher voltage rating capacitor?

A: Yes. A capacitor with higher voltage rating (16 V or 25 V) is electrically compatible and provides additional safety margin. No circuit modifications are required. Verify physical dimensions fit the PCB layout.
