ESH106M350AH2AA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ESH106M350AH2AA is a 10 µF, 350 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by KEMET. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified to address application requirements where voltage rating or inventory availability necessitate alternative component selection within the same electrical and mechanical parameter envelope.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ESH106M350AH2AA is permissible with the ESH106M400AH2AA based on the following criteria:

Identical Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 105°C (exact match)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match)
• Ripple Current @ 120 Hz: 80 mA (exact match)
• Ripple Current @ 100 kHz: 128 mA (exact match)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match)
• Diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.669" (17.00 mm) (exact match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match)

Differing Parameter (Upgrade Characteristic):

• Voltage - Rated: 350 V (main part) vs. 400 V (substitute part)

The substitute part provides a higher voltage rating while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. This relationship permits direct substitution in applications where the original 350 V rating is sufficient, as the 400 V rated component operates within the same physical footprint and electrical performance envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ESH106M350AH2AA Selection Criteria:

• Primary selection for applications with circuit design specifications requiring exactly 350 V rated voltage
• Suitable for general-purpose applications where voltage margin is not a design constraint
• Active product status with full regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH unaffected)

ESH106M400AH2AA Selection Criteria:

• Direct substitute where higher voltage margin is beneficial for circuit reliability
• Identical physical footprint and electrical performance characteristics enable direct PCB mounting without layout modification
• Active product status with full regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH unaffected)
• Higher inventory availability (6847 pcs vs. 3108 pcs) supports supply chain continuity

Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, thermal ratings, ripple current specifications, and regulatory compliance status. Selection between these parts is determined by circuit voltage requirements and supply availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ESH106M400AH2AA replace ESH106M350AH2AA in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ESH106M400AH2AA is a direct substitute with identical capacitance (10 µF), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions (0.394" diameter, 0.669" height, 0.197" lead spacing), operating temperature range (-25°C to 105°C), thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), and ripple current ratings (80 mA @ 120 Hz, 128 mA @ 100 kHz). The only difference is the higher voltage rating (400 V vs. 350 V), which does not affect compatibility in applications designed for 350 V operation.

Q: Are there any PCB layout changes required when substituting ESH106M400AH2AA for ESH106M350AH2AA?

A: No. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm), and height (0.669" / 17.00 mm). Through-hole mounting footprints are identical, requiring no PCB modification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both ESH106M350AH2AA and ESH106M400AH2AA are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both maintain Active product status with identical compliance designations (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8532.22.0020).

Q: What is the difference in ripple current handling between these parts?

A: Both parts have identical ripple current specifications: 80 mA @ 120 Hz and 128 mA @ 100 kHz. Ripple current capacity does not vary between the two parts.

Q: Can ESH106M350AH2AA be used where ESH106M400AH2AA is specified?

A: No. The ESH106M350AH2AA has a lower voltage rating (350 V vs. 400 V). Use only where the circuit design explicitly specifies 350 V or lower voltage rating. Using a lower-rated component in a higher-voltage application violates electrical safety specifications.

Q: Are the thermal characteristics identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-25°C to 105°C) and maintain identical thermal lifetime ratings (2000 Hrs @ 105°C).
