EEF-SX0J181ER Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EEF-SX0J181ER is a 180 µF, 6.3 V aluminum polymer capacitor manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components in the SP-Cap SX series. This surface mount component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C with an ESR of 9 mOhm and is designed for general purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance. The part is currently active in production. Substitute parts may be required due to supply chain constraints, regional availability, or procurement preferences while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the EEF-SX0J181ER are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

• Capacitance value: 180 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
• Capacitor type: Aluminum Polymer (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR: 9 mOhm (exact match required)
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Package: 2917 (7343 Metric) (exact match required)
• Mounting: Surface Mount, Tape & Reel (exact match required)
• Ripple current capability: 6.3 A @ 100 kHz (exact match required)

Only components meeting all of these specifications are considered parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EEF-SX0J181ER and 875035119002 are active production components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on:

• Procurement availability and lead times from respective manufacturers
• Regional supply chain preferences
• Inventory status at component distributors
• Compliance certifications: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Export classification: Both parts carry EAR99 classification

The Würth Elektronik part includes a specified Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 3 (168 Hours), which provides additional handling and storage guidance for manufacturing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 875035119002 be used as a direct replacement for the EEF-SX0J181ER?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical capacitance (180 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), ESR (9 mOhm), lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), package (2917/7343 Metric), and ripple current capability (6.3 A @ 100 kHz). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.287" L x 0.169" W x 0.079" H (7.30mm x 4.30mm x 2.00mm) and use the same 2917 (7343 Metric) package. They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for either part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the EEF-SX0J181ER and 875035119002 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. Both carry the same HTSUS code (8532.22.0020).

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for the Panasonic part?

A: The MSL rating is not specified in the provided data for the EEF-SX0J181ER. The Würth Elektronik 875035119002 is rated MSL 3 (168 Hours). Consult Panasonic datasheets for the EEF-SX0J181ER MSL specification if moisture sensitivity is a critical factor in your manufacturing process.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-ripple-current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 6.3 A ripple current at 100 kHz and share identical ESR characteristics (9 mOhm), making them suitable for equivalent performance in high-frequency ripple current applications.
