Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Capacitance (47 µF), tolerance (±20%), and voltage rating must match or exceed the original specification. Parts rated at higher voltages (25 V, 35 V) are electrically compatible as they provide margin in voltage stress.

Physical Compatibility: Package type (Radial, Can - SMD), mounting type (Surface Mount), and land size (0.260" L x 0.260" W) must be identical. Height variation within the specified range (5.40mm to 5.80mm) is acceptable for PCB assembly.

Performance Enhancement: Substitute parts may offer improved lifetime ratings (2000 Hrs or 3000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 1000 Hrs), lower ESR values, higher ripple current ratings, or extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 105°C).

Product Status: Active product status substitutes are preferred over "Not For New Designs" parts for new design initiatives.

Compliance: All substitutes maintain AEC-Q200 automotive rating, RoHS compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Same Voltage, Same Lifetime): EEE-FC1C470AP provides identical electrical and physical specifications to the original EEE-FC1C470P with equivalent performance. Both parts maintain 16 V rating and 1000 hour lifetime at 105°C. This substitution is suitable for applications requiring no performance enhancement.

Enhanced Lifetime (16 V Rating): EEE-HB1C470AP and EEE-HB1C470P offer doubled lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C) while maintaining 16 V rating and identical land size. EEE-HC1C470P provides tripled lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C) with the same electrical specifications. These parts are recommended for designs requiring extended operational reliability.

Improved Performance (16 V Rating): EEE-FP1C470AP combines 16 V rating with 2000 hour lifetime, lower ESR (260 mOhm @ 100kHz), higher ripple current capability (300 mA @ 100kHz), and extended temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). This part is active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it optimal for new designs requiring enhanced performance margins.

Voltage Margin (25 V or 35 V Rating): EEE-FP1E470AP (25 V) and EEE-FP1V470AP (35 V) provide voltage derating capability while maintaining 47 µF capacitance and 2000 hour lifetime. These parts are suitable for applications where voltage stress margin is required. EEE-HAE470WAP (25 V, active status) and EEE-HBE470UAP (25 V, 2000 Hrs) offer 25 V alternatives with varying lifetime ratings.

Product Status Consideration: All substitute parts except EEE-HA1E470WP carry active product status or are from active series (FP, HB, HC). For new design initiatives, prioritize EEE-FP1C470AP, EEE-FP1E470AP, EEE-FP1V470AP, EEE-HB1C470AP, EEE-HB1C470P, EEE-HBE470UAP, and EEE-HC1C470P.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-FP1E470AP (25 V) replace EEE-FC1C470P (16 V) in my circuit?

A: Yes. The 25 V rated part is electrically compatible with a 16 V application. Higher voltage rating provides additional voltage stress margin and does not affect circuit operation. The capacitance (47 µF) and tolerance (±20%) remain identical. Physical dimensions and land size are compatible.

Q: What is the difference between EEE-HB1C470AP and EEE-HC1C470P?

A: Both parts maintain 47 µF, 16 V specifications and active product status. EEE-HC1C470P offers 3000 hour lifetime at 105°C compared to EEE-HB1C470AP's 2000 hour rating. EEE-HC1C470P is recommended for applications requiring maximum operational life. Height difference is negligible (0.228" for both).

Q: Is the height difference between 0.213" and 0.228" critical for PCB assembly?

A: Height variation within this range (5.40mm to 5.80mm) is acceptable for standard surface mount assembly processes. Both dimensions fit within typical PCB design tolerances and reflow profiles. Verify with your assembly partner if height-constrained applications exist.

Q: Why does EEE-FP1C470AP show lower ESR than the original part?

A: EEE-FP1C470AP belongs to the FP series, which features improved internal construction resulting in 260 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz compared to 1 Ohm for the FC series. Lower ESR reduces heat generation and improves ripple current handling capability (300 mA versus 140 mA at 100 kHz).

Q: Can I use EEE-HAE470WAP as a direct replacement?

A: EEE-HAE470WAP is electrically compatible but rated at 25 V instead of 16 V. It maintains 47 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, and identical land size. However, ripple current rating is lower (119 mA @ 10 kHz versus 140 mA @ 100 kHz). Use this part only if voltage margin is acceptable and ripple current requirements are met.

Q: Which substitute offers the best overall performance upgrade?

A: EEE-FP1C470AP provides the most comprehensive performance enhancement for 16 V applications: doubled lifetime (2000 Hrs), significantly lower ESR (260 mOhm), doubled ripple current capability (300 mA), extended temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and active product status with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 rated?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compliance with automotive application requirements.
