Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EEU-FS2A680L and 100ZLJ68M8X20 are active production components with full regulatory compliance. The Panasonic EEU-FS2A680L is the primary specification. The Rubycon 100ZLJ68M8X20 is a direct parametric equivalent suitable for substitution in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical parameters are the controlling factors. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, lead time, or procurement requirements, as all critical parameters are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Rubycon 100ZLJ68M8X20 be used as a direct replacement for the Panasonic EEU-FS2A680L?

A: Yes. The 100ZLJ68M8X20 meets all specified electrical parameters (68 µF, 100 V, ±20% tolerance, 9000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical parameters (lead spacing, case diameter, height, through-hole mounting, radial can package). Both parts are identical in these critical specifications.

Q: Are there any differences in ripple current handling between these parts?

A: Ripple current specifications differ between manufacturers. The EEU-FS2A680L specifies 567 mA @ 120 Hz and 810 mA @ 100 kHz. The 100ZLJ68M8X20 specifies 520 mA @ 120 Hz and 1.04 A @ 100 kHz. Application-specific ripple current requirements must be evaluated against these values.

Q: Do both parts have the same impedance characteristics?

A: No. The EEU-FS2A680L has an impedance of 96 mOhms, while the 100ZLJ68M8X20 has an impedance of 160 mOhms. Applications sensitive to impedance performance must account for this difference.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm), case diameter (0.315" / 8.00mm), and seated height (0.866" / 22.00mm). PCB layout and through-hole drilling patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the regulatory status of both parts?

A: Both the EEU-FS2A680L and 100ZLJ68M8X20 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes.
