Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LXZ10VB331M6X15LL is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 10 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Ripple Current Ratings: 200 mA @ 120 Hz and 400 mA @ 100 kHz (exact match required)
• Impedance: 180 mOhms (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Radial (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50 mm) (exact match required)
• Case Diameter: 0.248" (6.30 mm) (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

A substitute part must satisfy all electrical and mechanical criteria to be considered a direct equivalent. Variations in height, packaging format, or product status do not disqualify a part from substitution if all core parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is the direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to LXZ10VB331M6X15LL. All critical electrical parameters—capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ripple current specifications, impedance, and thermal lifetime—are identical. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching lead spacing, case diameter, and mounting type.

The primary distinctions between the main part and its substitute are:

1. Product Status: The LXZ10VB331M6X15LL is obsolete, while ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is active and currently in production.

2. Regulatory Compliance: ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

3. Application Rating: ELXZ100ELL331MF15D carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating suitability for automotive environments. The original part is designated for general-purpose applications.

4. Physical Height: ELXZ100ELL331MF15D has a maximum seated height of 0.650" (16.50 mm) compared to 0.591" (15.00 mm) for the original. This 0.059" (1.50 mm) difference must be verified against PCB layout constraints and enclosure clearances.

5. Inventory Status: ELXZ100ELL331MF15D has 1384 units in stock versus 841 units for the original part.

For applications where RoHS compliance is required or where long-term component availability is a concern, ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is the recommended selection. For applications with strict height constraints, the physical dimension difference must be evaluated against available PCB space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELXZ100ELL331MF15D be used as a direct replacement for LXZ10VB331M6X15LL?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters—capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ripple current, impedance, and thermal lifetime—are identical. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50 mm), case diameter (0.248" / 6.30 mm), and through-hole radial mounting. The height difference of 0.059" (1.50 mm) must be verified against PCB layout and enclosure clearances.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: LXZ10VB331M6X15LL is RoHS non-compliant, while ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is ROHS3 compliant. If your application or supply chain requires RoHS compliance, ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is the appropriate selection. RoHS compliance restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: Why does ELXZ100ELL331MF15D have AEC-Q200 rating while the original does not?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is qualified for automotive applications, indicating it has undergone additional reliability and environmental testing. The original LXZ10VB331M6X15LL is designated for general-purpose use. If your application is automotive, ELXZ100ELL331MF15D provides additional assurance of suitability.

Q: Does the 0.059" (1.50 mm) height difference affect compatibility?

A: The height difference must be evaluated against your specific PCB layout and enclosure design. If the original part fits with minimal clearance to components or enclosure walls, the taller substitute may create interference. Verify available vertical space before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical?

A: Yes. Capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (10 V), tolerance (±20%), ripple current specifications (200 mA @ 120 Hz, 400 mA @ 100 kHz), impedance (180 mOhms), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C) are identical between both parts.

Q: What is the lead spacing and how does it affect PCB design?

A: Both parts have a lead spacing of 0.098" (2.50 mm). This dimension determines the distance between the two leads on the PCB footprint. Since both parts share identical lead spacing, no PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: Is the packaging format different between the two parts?

A: The original part is listed with packaging designation "-" while ELXZ100ELL331MF15D is packaged in Bulk format. Both are through-hole radial components with identical mechanical interfaces. The packaging designation refers to the distribution format, not the component form factor.
