Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MLS561M250EB1A is classified as a parametric equivalent to the HVMLS561M250EB0D. This substitution is valid based on identical electrical characteristics: capacitance (560 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (240 mOhm @ 120Hz), lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), ripple current specifications (6.5 A @ 120 Hz and 8.1 A @ 20 kHz), and mechanical dimensions (3.000" L x 1.750" W, height 0.500" max, lead spacing 1.000").

The key parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

  • Capacitance: 560 µF
  • Voltage Rating: 250 V
  • Tolerance: ±20%
  • ESR: 240 mOhm @ 120Hz
  • Lifetime: 10000 Hrs @ 85°C
  • Physical Dimensions and Lead Spacing
  • Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
  • Package Type: FlatPack, Tabbed

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HVMLS561M250EB0D and MLS561M250EB1A are active production parts from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should consider regulatory compliance requirements:

The HVMLS561M250EB0D is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, making it the appropriate choice for applications subject to European Union environmental directives or where RoHS3 compliance is mandatory.

The MLS561M250EB1A is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. This part is suitable for applications without RoHS3 compliance requirements or in markets where such compliance is not mandated.

The packaging difference (Standard vs. Bulk) should be considered based on procurement and logistics requirements. Both parts maintain identical lead spacing (1.000"), physical dimensions (3.000" L x 1.750" W), and mounting characteristics required for direct board-level substitution in Chassis Mount applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these parts electrically interchangeable? A: Yes. The HVMLS561M250EB0D and MLS561M250EB1A have identical capacitance (560 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (240 mOhm @ 120Hz), ripple current specifications, and temperature characteristics.

Q: Can I substitute MLS561M250EB1A for HVMLS561M250EB0D in my circuit? A: Electrical substitution is valid. However, verify compliance requirements: HVMLS561M250EB0D is RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while MLS561M250EB1A is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Select based on your application's regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical? A: Yes. Both parts have identical physical dimensions (3.000" L x 1.750" W x 0.500" height), lead spacing (1.000"), and Chassis Mount configuration for direct PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the difference in packaging? A: HVMLS561M250EB0D is supplied in Standard packaging, while MLS561M250EB1A is supplied in Bulk packaging. This affects order quantities and logistics but does not impact component performance.

Q: Are both parts currently available? A: Yes. HVMLS561M250EB0D has 827 units in stock, and MLS561M250EB1A has 779 units in stock, both as new original parts.

Q: What are the key parameters I should verify before substitution? A: Verify the following: capacitance (560 µF), voltage rating (250 V), lead spacing (1.000"), mounting type (Chassis Mount), package type (FlatPack, Tabbed), and compliance certifications (RoHS and REACH status) required by your application or regional standards.
