• Physical Dimensions: 0.157" Dia (4.00mm), Height 0.213" (5.40mm) (exact match)
• Land Size: 0.169" L x 0.169" W (4.30mm x 4.30mm) (exact match)

Upgraded Substitutes (Higher Voltage Rating or Extended Lifetime):

• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match)
• Package: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.157" Dia (4.00mm), Height up to 0.228" (5.80mm) (minor height increase acceptable if PCB layout permits)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Performance): Select EEE-FC1V2R2AR or EEE-FC1V2R2R. Both maintain identical electrical specifications (2.2 µF, 35 V, 1000 Hrs @ 105°C) and physical dimensions as the obsolete EEV-FC1V2R2R. EEE-FC1V2R2AR and EEE-FC1V2R2R are RoHS Compliant, addressing environmental compliance requirements where applicable. These parts are classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating they remain available for legacy system support but are not recommended for new product development.

For Upgraded Performance (Higher Voltage Margin or Extended Lifetime): Select EEE-HB1H2R2AR or EEE-HB1H2R2R for new designs or applications requiring enhanced reliability. The HB series offers 50 V rating (versus 35 V) and 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime (versus 1000 Hrs), providing increased design margin and extended operational life. Both parts are Active status with ROHS3 Compliance, suitable for current production. Height increases to 0.228" (5.80mm) from 0.213" (5.40mm); verify PCB layout clearance before selection.

For Intermediate Upgrade (50 V Rating, Same Lifetime): EEE-FC1H2R2R, EEE-HA1H2R2AR, or EEE-HA1H2R2R provide 50 V rating with 1000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, offering voltage margin improvement without extended lifetime. These parts maintain 0.213" (5.40mm) height, eliminating PCB layout concerns. All are RoHS Compliant and classified as "Not For New Designs."

Compliance Considerations:

• EEV-FC1V2R2R is RoHS non-compliant; replacement with RoHS Compliant alternatives (EEE-FC1V2R2AR, EEE-FC1V2R2R, EEE-FC1H2R2R, EEE-HA series, or EEE-HB series) is required for applications subject to RoHS regulations.
• All substitute parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-FC1V2R2AR directly replace EEV-FC1V2R2R without circuit modification? A: Yes. EEE-FC1V2R2AR is electrically and mechanically identical to EEV-FC1V2R2R (2.2 µF, 35 V, ±20%, 1000 Hrs @ 105°C, same physical dimensions). No circuit modification is required. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between EEE-FC1V2R2R and EEE-FC1V2R2AR? A: Both are identical in electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The difference is packaging: EEE-FC1V2R2R is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while EEE-FC1V2R2AR is also Tape & Reel. Both are RoHS Compliant and "Not For New Designs."

Q: Can I use EEE-HB1H2R2R instead of EEV-FC1V2R2R? A: Yes, with PCB layout verification. EEE-HB1H2R2R is a direct functional upgrade: same 2.2 µF capacitance and 35 V circuit compatibility (50 V rating provides margin), but height increases from 0.213" to 0.228" (5.80mm). Confirm PCB clearance above the component. EEE-HB1H2R2R is Active status with ROHS3 Compliance and 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, making it suitable for new designs.

Q: Why is the EEV-FC1V2R2R obsolete? A: The FC series represents an earlier generation of Panasonic automotive aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Panasonic has transitioned to newer series (HA, HB) offering improved performance characteristics, extended lifetime ratings, and enhanced compliance certifications. The HB series is the current active recommendation for new designs.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean? A: Parts classified as "Not For New Designs" are available for purchase and support existing products but are not recommended for incorporation into new product development. These parts may be discontinued in the future. For new designs, select Active status parts such as EEE-HB1H2R2AR or EEE-HB1H2R2R.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (EEE-FC1V2R2AR, EEE-FC1V2R2R, EEE-FC1H2R2R, EEE-HA1H2R2AR, EEE-HA1H2R2R, EEE-HB1H2R2AR, EEE-HB1H2R2R) maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, consistent with the original EEV-FC1V2R2R.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape & Digi-Reel and Tape & Reel packaging? A: Both are surface mount packaging formats. Tape & Reel (TR) is supplied on continuous carrier tape in reel format for automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel is supplied in shorter tape segments or alternative reel configurations. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical; packaging choice depends on assembly equipment and order quantity requirements.

Q: Can I use a 50 V rated capacitor in a 35 V circuit? A: Yes. A higher voltage rating provides design margin and does not affect circuit operation. A 50 V capacitor in a 35 V circuit operates safely with reduced electrical stress, potentially extending component life. Physical dimensions must still be verified for PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the lifetime difference between 1000 Hrs and 2000 Hrs @ 105°C? A: Lifetime rating indicates the expected operational duration at maximum rated temperature (105°C) before capacitance degradation reaches specified limits. 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (EEE-HB series) provides twice the rated lifetime compared to 1000 Hrs @ 105°C (EEV-FC1V2R2R, EEE-FC series, EEE-HA series), indicating improved long-term reliability and reduced failure risk in high-temperature applications.
