EEU-TA1C331 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EEU-TA1C331 is a 330 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This through-hole component is rated for 2000 hours at 125°C and is designed for general-purpose applications. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent capacitance and tolerance values are maintained while voltage rating, thermal performance, or operational temperature range may be upgraded to meet enhanced application requirements.
