Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EEE-1CS100SR is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
Physical dimensions must accommodate PCB land pattern: 0.130" L x 0.130" W (3.30mm x 3.30mm) minimum

Acceptable Variations:

Lifetime @ 85°C: May exceed 1000 hours (2000 hours acceptable)
Ripple current ratings: May exceed specified values
ESR: Variations acceptable if not specified as critical parameter
Product status: Obsolete or Not For New Designs acceptable for equivalent function
Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) acceptable

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on physical footprint compatibility:

Group A - Compact Footprint (3.00mm diameter): Parts maintaining the original 0.118" (3.00mm) diameter and 0.130" x 0.130" (3.30mm x 3.30mm) land size. These provide direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Group B - Larger Footprint (4.00mm diameter): Parts with 0.157" (4.00mm) diameter and 0.169" x 0.169" (4.30mm x 4.30mm) land size. These require PCB layout verification and may necessitate footprint adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-1CA100SR be used as a direct replacement for EEE-1CS100SR?

A: Electrical parameters are equivalent (10 µF, 16 V, ±20%, -40°C ~ 85°C). However, the footprint differs: EEE-1CA100SR uses 4.00mm diameter with 4.30mm x 4.30mm land size versus the original 3.00mm diameter with 3.30mm x 3.30mm land size. PCB layout verification is required before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the lifetime rating difference (1000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs @ 85°C)?

A: Lifetime rating indicates expected operational duration under specified thermal stress. The EEE-1CS100SR is rated for 1000 hours at 85°C. All listed substitutes provide 2000-hour ratings, which exceeds the original specification and is acceptable for equivalent or improved performance.

Q: Are there substitutes that maintain the original 3.00mm diameter?

A: AVE106M16A12T-F (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) maintains the 3.00mm diameter and 3.30mm x 3.30mm land size. This part requires no PCB layout modification. Inventory: 1,010 pieces. Product status: Obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is supplied on continuous tape for automated assembly. Cut Tape is supplied in shorter tape segments. Both formats are compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment. Selection depends on production volume and assembly line configuration.

Q: Does the ripple current rating affect substitution compatibility?

A: Ripple current capacity must meet or exceed the application requirement. All listed substitutes meet or exceed the original 28 mA @ 120 Hz and 34 mA @ 10 kHz specifications. Higher ripple current ratings are acceptable and indicate improved thermal performance.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" product status mean?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer no longer recommends the part for new circuit designs, typically due to obsolescence or replacement by newer alternatives. The part remains functionally equivalent and may be used in existing designs or legacy applications where inventory is available.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: RoHS compliance varies. EEE-1CA100SR and EEE-1CA100AR are RoHS Compliant. AVE106M16A12T-F, AVE106M16B12T-F, AVS106M16B12T-F, UWJ1C100MCL1GB, and UWX1C100MCL1GB are RoHS3 Compliant. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application.

Q: Can I use a substitute with a larger footprint on an existing PCB?

A: No. Larger footprint parts (4.00mm diameter, 4.30mm x 4.30mm land size) cannot be mounted on PCBs designed for the original 3.00mm diameter, 3.30mm x 3.30mm land size. PCB redesign is required. Alternatively, select AVE106M16A12T-F to maintain the original footprint.
