EEU-FC1C822 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EEU-FC1C822 is an 8200 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This capacitor is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C and meets AEC-Q200 automotive specifications. The part is currently active in production. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design requirements shift toward enhanced reliability specifications, or when alternative manufacturer sourcing is required for supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EEU-FC1C822 is determined by strict electrical and mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts must match the following core parameters:

• Capacitance: 8200 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.709" Dia (18.00mm) (exact match required)

Secondary parameters including lifetime rating, ripple current specifications, impedance, and operating temperature range may vary within acceptable engineering tolerances. All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original EEU-FC1C822 specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EEU-FC1C822 is the primary specification part with active production status and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. For new designs, the EEU-FC1C822 remains the preferred selection.

UPM1C822MHD (Nichicon) provides an equivalent substitute with matching AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and identical core electrical parameters. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability despite its "Not For New Designs" status.

UPW1C822MHD (Nichicon) offers enhanced lifetime performance at 8000 hours versus 5000 hours at 105°C, with identical ripple current and impedance specifications to the primary part. This part is suitable for applications where extended operational life is beneficial, though it lacks automotive qualification.

UPJ1C822MHD (Nichicon) provides mechanical compatibility with slightly reduced ripple current and increased impedance specifications. This part is suitable for general-purpose applications where the performance variation is acceptable.

All substitute parts maintain full mechanical compatibility with the original specification, including identical lead spacing, diameter, and through-hole mounting configuration. Height variations in UPJ1C822MHD and UPM1C822MHD must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPW1C822MHD replace EEU-FC1C822 in automotive applications?

A: UPW1C822MHD maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with EEU-FC1C822. However, UPW1C822MHD is not rated for automotive applications (no AEC-Q200 qualification). For automotive designs, UPM1C822MHD is the appropriate Nichicon substitute, as it carries AEC-Q200 qualification matching the original part.

Q: What is the impact of height differences between substitute parts?

A: EEU-FC1C822 has a maximum seated height of 1.398" (35.50mm). UPJ1C822MHD and UPM1C822MHD have maximum seated heights of 1.634" (41.50mm) and 1.654" (42.00mm) respectively. These height variations must be evaluated against PCB layout, component clearance, and enclosure constraints before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. EEU-FC1C822, UPW1C822MHD, UPJ1C822MHD, and UPM1C822MHD are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: How do ripple current specifications differ between parts?

A: EEU-FC1C822 and UPW1C822MHD both specify 3.128 A @ 120 Hz and 3.68 A @ 100 kHz. UPJ1C822MHD specifies 2.73 A @ 120 Hz and 3.04 A @ 10 kHz. UPM1C822MHD specifies 2.97 A @ 120 Hz and 3.3 A @ 10 kHz. Applications with high ripple current requirements should prioritize EEU-FC1C822 or UPW1C822MHD.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean for substitute parts?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates that the manufacturer is not recommending these parts for new product development. These parts remain functionally equivalent and may be used in existing designs or where supply constraints require substitution. For new designs, EEU-FC1C822 is the recommended primary selection.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Electrical interchangeability is confirmed for all listed parts. Mechanical interchangeability requires verification of height clearance, as UPJ1C822MHD and UPM1C822MHD exceed the height of EEU-FC1C822 by approximately 0.236" to 0.256" (6.00mm to 6.50mm).
