EEV-FC1C100R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EEV-FC1C100R is a 10 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in surface mount radial can package manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components. This part is classified as Obsolete and is no longer recommended for new designs. The FC series represents an earlier generation of automotive-grade capacitors with a 1000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability in new production, equivalent and substitute parts from current product lines are necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Performance): Select EEE-FC1C100R (Tape & Reel) or EEE-FC1C100AR for applications requiring identical 16 V, 10 µF specifications with 1000-hour lifetime. Both parts maintain the original case height of 5.40mm and are suitable for legacy system repairs where PCB layout constraints are critical.

For New Designs and Active Product Lines: EEE-FP1C100AR is the recommended primary substitute. It provides identical 16 V, 10 µF electrical specifications with doubled lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The increased height of 5.80mm must be verified against PCB clearance requirements.

For Voltage-Margin Applications: EEE-HAE100WAR (25 V) or EEE-HAV100WAR (35 V) provide higher voltage ratings while maintaining the original 5.40mm height and 1000-hour lifetime. These parts are Active status with ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications where voltage margin improvement is acceptable without PCB redesign.

For Enhanced Reliability Requirements: EEE-HB1C100AR offers 2000-hour lifetime at 16 V with Active status and ROHS3 compliance. The increased height of 5.80mm requires PCB layout verification.

For Highest Performance and Compliance: EEE-FP1E100AR (25 V) or EEE-FPV100UAR (35 V) deliver the most advanced specifications: 2000-hour lifetime, extended temperature range, improved ripple current handling, and full ROHS3 compliance. These are suitable for new automotive designs and applications with demanding reliability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-FP1E100AR (25 V) be used as a direct replacement for EEV-FC1C100R (16 V)? A: Yes. The higher voltage rating (25 V vs. 16 V) is electrically compatible in circuits designed for 16 V operation. The capacitance (10 µF) and tolerance (±20%) are identical. Physical compatibility requires verification of the increased height (5.80mm vs. 5.40mm) against PCB clearance.

Q: What is the difference between EEE-FC1C100AR and EEE-FP1C100AR? A: Both are 10 µF, 16 V parts with identical electrical ratings. EEE-FP1C100AR offers doubled lifetime (2000 Hrs vs. 1000 Hrs @ 105°C), extended operating temperature range (-55°C vs. -40°C minimum), and improved ripple current capability. EEE-FP1C100AR has Active product status compared to Not For New Designs for EEE-FC1C100AR.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 rated? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, ensuring suitability for automotive applications.

Q: What is the impact of increased case height on PCB design? A: FP and HB series parts have 5.80mm height versus 5.40mm for FC and HA series. This 0.40mm increase may affect PCB clearance to adjacent components or enclosure constraints. PCB layout verification is required before substitution.

Q: Which substitute offers the best compliance status? A: EEE-FP1C100AR, EEE-FP1E100AR, EEE-FPV100UAR, EEE-HAE100WAR, EEE-HAV100WAR, and EEE-HB1C100AR all carry ROHS3 compliance status. The original EEV-FC1C100R is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can I use a 35 V rated part (EEE-HAV100WAR or EEE-FPV100UAR) in place of the 16 V original? A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings are electrically compatible in 16 V circuits. The 35 V rating provides additional voltage margin. Physical compatibility requires verification of case height (5.40mm for HA series, 5.80mm for FP series) against PCB constraints.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and other packaging options? A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for automated assembly processes. The EEV-FC1C100R original part is available in standard packaging, while substitute parts are listed in Tape & Reel format for high-volume production compatibility.

Q: Is EEE-HB1C100AR suitable for legacy system repairs? A: Yes. EEE-HB1C100AR maintains the 16 V rating and 10 µF capacitance of the original. It offers improved lifetime (2000 Hrs vs. 1000 Hrs), Active product status, and ROHS3 compliance. The increased height (5.80mm) must be verified against PCB clearance.
