Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Voltage, Same Lifetime): EEE-FC1C220AR is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status and RoHS Compliant certification.

Performance Upgrade (Extended Lifetime, Active Status): EEE-HB1C220AR and EEE-HB1C220R offer 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C compared to 1000 hours, with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Physical height increases to 0.228" (5.80mm), which remains within acceptable board clearance for most applications. These parts are suitable for designs requiring extended operational life.

Higher Voltage Ratings (Backward Compatible): EEE-FP1E220AR (25 V) and EEE-FP1V220AR (35 V) provide voltage margin above the original 16 V specification. Both feature 2000-hour lifetime, Active status, and ROHS3 compliance. EEE-FP1C220AR maintains the original 16 V rating with identical performance upgrades. Height increases to 0.228" (5.80mm).

EEE-HA1E220WR and EEE-HA1V220WR (25 V and 35 V respectively) maintain 1000-hour lifetime with "Not For New Designs" status but offer higher voltage ratings in the original 0.213" (5.40mm) height.

EEE-HAE220WAR (25 V) and EEE-HAV220WAR (35 V) combine higher voltage ratings with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance while maintaining the original 0.213" (5.40mm) height and 1000-hour lifetime.

Selection Criteria:

For drop-in replacement with identical specifications: EEE-FC1C220AR

EEE-FC1C220AR is a direct equivalent with identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime (1000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), physical dimensions, and package specifications. Both parts are qualified to AEC-Q200 and carry RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: What is the advantage of upgrading to EEE-HB1C220AR or EEE-HB1C220R? A: These parts extend the operational lifetime to 2000 hours at 105°C, double the original specification. They carry Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturing support, and feature ROHS3 compliance. The physical height increases from 0.213" to 0.228" (5.40mm to 5.80mm), which remains compatible with standard PCB clearances. Ripple current handling improves to 66.3 mA at 10 kHz.

Q: Can I use a 25 V or 35 V rated capacitor in place of the 16 V original? A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings are backward compatible and provide additional voltage margin. EEE-FP1E220AR (25 V) and EEE-FP1V220AR (35 V) maintain the same 22 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance while offering extended 2000-hour lifetime and Active product status. Physical height increases to 0.228" (5.80mm). EEE-HAE220WAR (25 V) and EEE-HAV220WAR (35 V) provide higher voltage in the original 0.213" (5.40mm) height with Active status.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ensuring compliance with automotive reliability standards.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant? A: ROHS3 Compliant represents the current RoHS 3 directive standard and is an upgrade from the earlier RoHS Compliant designation. Both certifications indicate restriction of hazardous substances. ROHS3 parts are suitable for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Will the increased height of EEE-FP1C220AR affect PCB layout? A: The height increases from 0.213" (5.40mm) to 0.228" (5.80mm), an increase of 0.015" (0.40mm). This remains within standard PCB clearance specifications for most applications. Verify board clearance in your specific design before implementation.

Q: Which substitute part should I choose for new designs? A: For new designs, select parts with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. EEE-FP1C220AR, EEE-FP1E220AR, EEE-FP1V220AR, EEE-HAE220WAR, and EEE-HAV220WAR are all Active parts. EEE-FP series offers extended 2000-hour lifetime with improved ESR and ripple current specifications. EEE-HA series maintains the original 1000-hour lifetime in the original package height.

Q: Is the surface mount land size identical across all substitute parts? A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the same surface mount land size of 0.209" L x 0.209" W (5.30mm x 5.30mm), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the MSL rating for all these parts? A: All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life and no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.
