Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Capacitance value: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 10 V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 125°C (minimum requirement)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.315" Dia (8.00mm) and height ≤ 0.413" (10.50mm)
• Surface mount land size: 0.327" L x 0.327" W (8.30mm x 8.30mm)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

Compliance & Certification:

• AEC-Q200 qualification required for automotive applications
• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited) acceptable

Performance Parameters:

• ESR and ripple current specifications are application-dependent and do not restrict substitution eligibility when other parameters align

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EMHL100ARA331MHA0G (Chemi-Con)

This direct substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part. The EMHL100ARA331MHA0G offers extended lifetime performance at 4000 hours versus 2000 hours at 125°C, providing enhanced reliability margin. Both parts are Chemi-Con products within the Alchip™ series family and carry AEC-Q200 qualification. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in automotive applications where extended operational life is beneficial.

EEE-TG1A331UP (Panasonic Electronic Components)

This direct substitute provides equivalent capacitance, voltage, and tolerance specifications. The EEE-TG1A331UP is qualified to AEC-Q200 and maintains the same operating temperature range and physical footprint. The higher ESR specification (500 mOhm @ 100kHz versus 300 mOhm @ 400kHz) and lower ripple current ratings should be evaluated against application requirements. This substitute is suitable when Panasonic sourcing is preferred or when supply from Chemi-Con is constrained.

EDT337M016S9MAA (KEMET)

This upgrade substitute increases the voltage rating from 10 V to 16 V while maintaining the 330 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. The EDT337M016S9MAA is qualified to AEC-Q200 and maintains mechanical compatibility. The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin and is suitable for applications where voltage stress reduction is desired. This part is recommended when circuit design permits the higher voltage rating and when KEMET sourcing is preferred.

All three substitutes comply with RoHS3 requirements, carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and are active products in production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EMHL100ARA331MHA0G be used as a direct replacement for EMHB100ARA331MHA0G?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (10 V), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions (0.315" Dia, 0.413" height), and surface mount land size (0.327" x 0.327"). Both are Chemi-Con Alchip™ series products with AEC-Q200 qualification. The EMHL variant offers extended lifetime (4000 hours versus 2000 hours at 125°C).

Q: What are the differences between the 10 V and 16 V rated parts?

A: The EDT337M016S9MAA operates at 16 V rated voltage compared to 10 V for the main part and direct substitutes. All other electrical parameters (capacitance, tolerance, temperature range) and mechanical specifications remain equivalent. The 16 V rating provides additional voltage margin and is suitable for applications where circuit design permits higher voltage operation.

Q: Are all substitute parts automotive qualified?

A: Yes. EMHL100ARA331MHA0G, EEE-TG1A331UP, and EDT337M016S9MAA all carry AEC-Q200 qualification, meeting automotive industry standards for reliability and performance.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the same diameter (0.315" / 8.00mm), compatible height specifications (≤ 0.413" / 10.50mm), and surface mount land size (0.327" L x 0.327" W / 8.30mm x 8.30mm). The EEE-TG1A331UP has a slightly lower seated height (0.402" / 10.20mm), which is within acceptable tolerance for the same PCB footprint.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging provides continuous reel format suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging from Panasonic provides flexibility for lower-volume or mixed-component orders. Both packaging formats are compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment.

Q: Can I use EDT337M016S9MAA in a circuit designed for 10 V operation?

A: Yes. The EDT337M016S9MAA is rated for 16 V operation, which exceeds the 10 V requirement. Operating a 16 V rated capacitor in a 10 V circuit reduces voltage stress and is electrically compatible. No circuit modification is required.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. EMHL100ARA331MHA0G, EEE-TG1A331UP, and EDT337M016S9MAA are all ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All parts, including the main part and substitutes, carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
