Engineering Selection Recommendations

Panasonic Direct Upgrades (Recommended for Pin-Compatible Replacement):

EEE-FC1V4R7R and EEE-HA1V4R7R are direct electrical equivalents with identical height (0.213" / 5.40mm) and land size, ensuring PCB layout compatibility without modification. Both maintain the same 1000-hour lifetime specification. EEE-HA1V4R7R offers higher inventory availability (9437 pcs vs. 2277 pcs for EEE-FC1V4R7R).

Panasonic Enhanced Reliability Options (Active Status):

EEE-HB1V4R7AR (Active status, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and EEE-HC1V4R7R (Active status, 3000 Hrs @ 105°C) provide extended operational lifetime with improved reliability. Both are ROHS3 compliant. Height increases to 0.228" (5.80mm) require PCB layout verification to confirm clearance compatibility. EEE-HD1V4R7AR (Active status, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) offers maximum lifetime rating with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Third-Party Manufacturer Equivalents:

EMVE350ARA4R7MD55G (Chemi-Con, Active) matches electrical specifications with slightly reduced height (0.205" / 5.20mm), offering potential space savings. TYEH1V475D55MTR (TE Connectivity, Active) provides equivalent performance with 1000-hour lifetime rating. EMZA350ARA4R7MD61G (Chemi-Con, Active) offers extended 2000-hour lifetime with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification but requires height clearance verification (0.240" / 6.10mm).

Obsolete Part Status:

EEV-FC1V4R7R carries Obsolete status and RoHS non-compliance. Use only for legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-HB1V4R7AR or EEE-HC1V4R7R be used as direct replacements for EEE-FC1V4R7AR?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Both parts maintain 4.7 µF capacitance, 35 V rating, ±20% tolerance, and identical land size (0.169" L x 0.169" W). However, height increases from 0.213" to 0.228" (5.80mm) require PCB layout verification to confirm vertical clearance. If clearance is available, these parts are suitable replacements with improved reliability (2000 Hrs and 3000 Hrs respectively versus 1000 Hrs).

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging?

A: Both packaging formats contain identical components. Tape & Reel is supplied on continuous carrier tape suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel is supplied in shorter tape segments with reel options, suitable for lower-volume or mixed-component assembly. Selection depends on assembly equipment and order volume requirements.

Q: Is EMVE350ARA4R7MD55G (Chemi-Con) a suitable alternative to the Panasonic part?

A: Yes. EMVE350ARA4R7MD55G matches all critical electrical parameters (4.7 µF, 35 V, ±20%, 1000 Hrs @ 105°C) and physical dimensions (0.157" Dia, land size 0.169" L x 0.169" W). Height is slightly reduced (0.205" versus 0.213"), providing additional clearance margin. The part is ROHS3 compliant and Active status. Qualification for specific applications should be verified against design requirements.

Q: Why does EEE-HD1V4R7AR have a higher impedance (12 Ohms) compared to EEE-FC1V4R7AR (3 Ohms)?

A: Impedance variation reflects internal construction differences between series. EEE-HD series is designed for extended lifetime (5000 Hrs) with different internal electrode geometry. For applications sensitive to impedance characteristics (high-frequency ripple current filtering), impedance values must be evaluated against circuit requirements. Both parts meet the specified 4.7 µF, 35 V electrical requirements.

Q: Can EMZA350ARA4R7MD61G be used if PCB height clearance is limited?

A: EMZA350ARA4R7MD61G has maximum height of 0.240" (6.10mm), which exceeds the original part height of 0.213" (5.40mm) by 0.027" (0.70mm). Use only if PCB layout provides sufficient vertical clearance above the component. If clearance is constrained, select EEE-HC1V4R7R (0.228" max height) or EMVE350ARA4R7MD55G (0.205" max height) instead.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: No. Panasonic FC, HA, and HB series carry AEC-Q200 ratings. Panasonic HC series and Chemi-Con EMVE series do not list AEC-Q200 certification in provided specifications. Chemi-Con EMZA series and TE Connectivity TYEH series do not specify AEC-Q200 ratings. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, verify certification status against application requirements.

Q: What is the recommended substitute if RoHS3 compliance is required?

A: EEE-HB1V4R7AR, EEE-HC1V4R7R, EEE-HD1V4R7AR (Panasonic), EMVE350ARA4R7MD55G, and EMZA350ARA4R7MD61G (Chemi-Con) all carry ROHS3 compliance. The original EEE-FC1V4R7AR is RoHS Compliant but not ROHS3. Select based on lifetime requirements, height constraints, and availability.
