Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EKXG161ELL470MJ20S is the direct parametric equivalent for the obsolete KXG160VB47RM10X20LL. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute part is active and currently in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete original part.

Electrical Equivalence: All electrical specifications are identical, including capacitance (47 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (8000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and ripple current ratings (300 mA @ 120 Hz, 750 mA @ 100 kHz).

Mechanical Compatibility: Physical dimensions and lead spacing are identical, enabling direct board-level replacement without PCB modification. Both parts use through-hole radial can packaging with 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing, 0.394" (10.00 mm) diameter, and 0.787" (20.00 mm) maximum seated height.

Compliance Enhancement: The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This provides improved regulatory compliance for new designs and manufacturing environments with RoHS requirements.

Manufacturer Consistency: Both parts are manufactured by Chemi-Con within the same KXG series, ensuring consistent performance characteristics and reliability profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EKXG161ELL470MJ20S be used as a direct replacement for KXG160VB47RM10X20LL?

A: Yes. The EKXG161ELL470MJ20S is a direct parametric equivalent. All electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage, tolerance, lifetime, temperature range, ripple current) and mechanical dimensions (lead spacing, diameter, height, mounting type, package style) are identical. No circuit modifications or PCB changes are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The KXG160VB47RM10X20LL is obsolete and no longer in production. The EKXG161ELL470MJ20S is an active equivalent that provides identical performance with improved RoHS3 compliance and assured supply availability.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm), and maximum seated height (0.787" / 20.00 mm). They are fully interchangeable at the board level.

Q: Do the ripple current ratings match?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 300 mA ripple current at 120 Hz and 750 mA ripple current at 100 kHz. Thermal and electrical performance under ripple conditions is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance?

A: The original part (KXG160VB47RM10X20LL) is RoHS non-compliant. The substitute (EKXG161ELL470MJ20S) is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

Q: Is the operating temperature range the same?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 8000 hours at 105°C.

Q: Can this substitute be used in existing designs without re-qualification?

A: The substitute meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Design re-qualification requirements depend on your organization's change control procedures and regulatory environment. Verify compliance with your internal engineering standards.
