EEE-FK1A221P is the manufacturer-recommended direct substitute. This part maintains 220 µF capacitance and 10 V voltage rating with identical SMD package footprint (0.327" x 0.327" land size). The FK series offers Active product status with extended thermal performance (2000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 2000 Hrs @ 85°C), expanded operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and ROHS3 compliance. Tape & Reel packaging matches the original part format.
For Voltage Margin Enhancement:
EEE-FK1C221P provides 16 V rating while maintaining 220 µF capacitance and identical SMD package compatibility. This upgrade is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage headroom. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are maintained. Tape & Reel packaging is available.
For Enhanced Ripple Current Performance:
EEE-FP1A221AP (10 V) and EEE-FP1C221AP (16 V) offer superior ripple current handling (500 mA @ 100 kHz versus 300 mA @ 100 kHz in FK series) with lower ESR (180 mOhm @ 100 kHz). These parts maintain identical SMD package footprint and Active product status with ROHS3 compliance.
For Constrained Thermal Environments:
EEE-HBA221UAP operates across -40°C to 105°C with 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime rating. This part maintains 10 V rating, 220 µF capacitance, and SMD package compatibility with Active product status.
Avoid for New Designs:
EEE-1AA221XAP and EEE-1AA221XP have Not For New Designs status and feature different physical dimensions (0.248" Dia, 6.30mm versus 0.315" Dia, 8.00mm) requiring PCB layout modification. EEE-1CA221UP also carries Not For New Designs status despite 16 V upgrade.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can EEE-FK1A221P directly replace EEE-1AA221P without PCB modification?
A: Yes. Both parts share identical SMD package footprint with 0.327" x 0.327" (8.30mm x 8.30mm) land size and 0.315" diameter (8.00mm). Height difference (0.256" versus 0.244") does not affect PCB assembly compatibility. Electrical specifications (220 µF, ±20%, 10 V) are equivalent.
Q: What is the primary advantage of EEE-FK series over the original EEE-1AA221P?
A: EEE-FK series offers Active product status, extended thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 85°C), expanded operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and ROHS3 compliance. These improvements support long-term production continuity and enhanced reliability in automotive applications.
Q: Are 16 V rated parts (EEE-FK1C221P, EEE-FP1C221AP) electrically compatible with 10 V circuit designs?
A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are electrically compatible in circuits designed for lower voltages. The 16 V rating provides additional voltage margin and does not affect circuit operation at 10 V or below. Capacitance (220 µF) and tolerance (±20%) remain identical.
Q: What is the difference between EEE-FK1A221AP (Cut Tape) and EEE-FK1A221P (Tape & Reel)?
A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format: Cut Tape & Digi-Reel is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly operations, while Tape & Reel is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Select based on production volume and assembly equipment requirements.
Q: Why do EEE-1AA221XAP and EEE-1AA221XP have different physical dimensions?
A: These parts use a smaller case size (0.248" Dia, 6.30mm versus 0.315" Dia, 8.00mm) with different land size (0.260" x 0.260" versus 0.327" x 0.327"). PCB layout modification is required for substitution. Both carry Not For New Designs status.
Q: Which substitute offers the best ripple current performance?
A: EEE-FP1A221AP and EEE-FP1C221AP deliver the highest ripple current capacity (500 mA @ 100 kHz) with lowest ESR (180 mOhm @ 100 kHz). These parts are suitable for high-frequency switching applications requiring superior current handling.
Q: Is RoHS3 compliance required for my application?
A: EEE-FK and EEE-FP series parts carry ROHS3 compliance. The original EEE-1AA221P and similar S-series parts carry RoHS compliance (not ROHS3). Verify compliance requirements with your procurement or quality department before selection.
