Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EEE-FTH101XAL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance: 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR @ 100 kHz: 340 mOhm (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ 105°C: 2000 Hrs (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Size / Dimension: 0.248" Dia (6.30 mm) (exact match required)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.315" (8.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Surface Mount Land Size: 0.260" L x 0.260" W (6.60 mm x 6.60 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• AEC-Q200 Rating: Required for automotive applications
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)

Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution eligibility. Manufacturer differences are acceptable provided all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts meet the complete electrical and mechanical specification requirements for direct replacement of the EEE-FTH101XAL in automotive applications.

EEE-FTH101XAP (Panasonic): This part is a parametric equivalent manufactured by the same supplier as the primary part. It maintains identical electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel). This part is suitable for applications where packaging format flexibility is acceptable and high inventory availability is beneficial.

EMZR500ARA101MF80G (Chemi-Con): This part is a parametric equivalent from an alternative manufacturer. It maintains identical electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, AEC-Q200 qualification, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring multi-source qualification or where supply chain diversification is a design requirement.

All three parts are Active products with current manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and support for production applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-FTH101XAP be used as a direct replacement for EEE-FTH101XAL?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically identical across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) does not affect circuit performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Can EMZR500ARA101MF80G be used as a direct replacement for EEE-FTH101XAL?

A: Yes. This Chemi-Con part is parametrically identical to the Panasonic part across all electrical and mechanical specifications. It carries the same AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and RoHS3 compliance status.

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

A: Packaging format affects handling and assembly logistics but not electrical or mechanical performance. Tape & Reel (TR) is continuous reel packaging for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® provides flexibility for lower-volume or mixed-component orders. Both formats are compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All three parts carry AEC-Q200 qualification, which certifies suitability for automotive-grade applications. This rating confirms compliance with automotive reliability and performance standards.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. Components with this rating have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture-control handling or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided your design documentation and supply chain procedures permit multi-source qualification. All three parts meet identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Verify that your manufacturing and quality procedures support the use of multiple manufacturers for this component position.

Q: What is the ripple current specification, and does it differ between parts?

A: Ripple current capacity at low frequency (120 Hz) differs between EEE-FTH101XAL/EEE-FTH101XAP (227.5 mA) and EMZR500ARA101MF80G (140 mA). At high frequency (100 kHz), all parts support 350 mA. For applications requiring maximum low-frequency ripple current handling, EEE-FTH101XAL or EEE-FTH101XAP are specified.
