Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EEG-A2V562HLE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 5600 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 350 V (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals (mechanical and electrical interface compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: 3.000" diameter and 4.625" maximum height (board layout and thermal management constraints)
• Lead Spacing: 1.252" (31.80 mm) nominal (PCB footprint compatibility)
• Polarization: Polar (electrical circuit requirement)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (installation method compatibility)

The substitute part 500C562T350DD2B from Cornell Dubilier Electronics meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, package configuration, physical dimensions, and mounting methodology, ensuring direct functional and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 500C562T350DD2B from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is a direct functional and mechanical substitute for the obsolete EEG-A2V562HLE. Both capacitors share identical electrical specifications for capacitance (5600 µF) and voltage rating (350 V), as well as matching physical dimensions and screw terminal package configuration.

The Cornell Dubilier part offers performance advantages: lower ESR (27 mOhm versus 39 mOhm), extended operational lifetime (5000 hours at 95°C versus 3000 hours at 85°C), and a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 95°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Additionally, the 500C562T350DD2B carries ROHS3 compliance status, whereas the Panasonic part is RoHS non-compliant.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance or enhanced thermal performance, the Cornell Dubilier substitute is the appropriate selection. For legacy system repairs where RoHS compliance is not mandated, both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 500C562T350DD2B directly replace the EEG-A2V562HLE without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both capacitors share identical physical dimensions (3.000" diameter, 4.625" height), lead spacing (1.252" / 31.80 mm nominal), and screw terminal package configuration. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±20% and -10%, +50%?

A: Tolerance defines the acceptable deviation of actual capacitance from the nominal 5600 µF value. The Cornell Dubilier part permits a wider positive tolerance (+50%) but tighter negative tolerance (-10%), compared to the symmetric ±20% tolerance of the Panasonic part. Both tolerances are acceptable for general-purpose applications where the circuit design accommodates capacitance variation within these ranges.

Q: Does the lower ESR of the 500C562T350DD2B affect circuit performance?

A: Lower ESR (27 mOhm versus 39 mOhm) reduces resistive losses and heat generation within the capacitor. This is a performance improvement that does not negatively impact circuit compatibility. Applications sensitive to ESR specifications will benefit from the substitute part's lower resistance.

Q: Is the extended lifetime rating of the Cornell Dubilier part a requirement for substitution?

A: No. The extended lifetime (5000 hours at 95°C versus 3000 hours at 85°C) is an additional benefit but not a substitution requirement. Both parts meet the electrical and mechanical criteria for direct interchange. The longer lifetime provides enhanced reliability margin in thermal environments.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance status on part selection?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not an electrical performance factor. The Cornell Dubilier part is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS directives. The Panasonic part is RoHS non-compliant and may be restricted in certain markets or applications. Select based on your regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any mechanical installation differences between these two capacitors?

A: No. Both capacitors use identical screw terminal connections and chassis mount configuration. Installation procedures, torque specifications, and mounting hardware compatibility remain unchanged between the two parts.
