Engineering Selection Recommendations

ELXZ160ELL561MH20D (Chemi-Con LXZ Series)

This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the LXZ16VB561M8X20LL while offering active product status. The ELXZ160ELL561MH20D is ROHS3 compliant and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. It is suitable for applications requiring the same 16 V rating and 560 µF capacitance. Selection of this part is appropriate when maintaining the original voltage specification is a design requirement.

UPA1E561MPD (Nichicon UPA Series)

This substitute provides a higher voltage rating of 25 V while maintaining the same 560 µF capacitance and mechanical form factor. The UPA1E561MPD offers superior ripple current handling (915 mA @ 120 Hz and 1.22 A @ 100 kHz versus 405 mA and 810 mA respectively) and lower impedance (44 mOhms versus 80 mOhms). This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries active product status. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications where higher voltage margin or improved ripple current performance provides system benefit.

Both substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the original LXZ16VB561M8X20LL in terms of form factor, lead spacing, and mounting requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELXZ160ELL561MH20D be used as a direct replacement for LXZ16VB561M8X20LL?

A: Yes. The ELXZ160ELL561MH20D maintains identical capacitance (560 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), lifetime rating (3000 Hrs @ 105°C), and mechanical dimensions. Lead spacing, case size, and height are identical. Through-hole mounting and radial can package are unchanged.

Q: What is the advantage of using UPA1E561MPD over ELXZ160ELL561MH20D?

A: The UPA1E561MPD provides a 25 V voltage rating compared to 16 V, offering increased voltage margin in the circuit. It also delivers higher ripple current capacity (915 mA @ 120 Hz and 1.22 A @ 100 kHz versus 405 mA and 810 mA) and lower impedance (44 mOhms versus 80 mOhms). These characteristics may benefit applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or higher current handling.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical mechanical specifications: 0.315" diameter (8.00mm), 0.787" maximum seated height (20.00mm), 0.138" lead spacing (3.50mm), through-hole mounting, and radial can package. PCB footprints and mounting holes are interchangeable.

Q: Does voltage rating affect substitution compatibility?

A: Voltage rating does not prevent substitution when the substitute rating is equal to or greater than the original. The UPA1E561MPD at 25 V is compatible with circuits designed for 16 V operation. The ELXZ160ELL561MH20D at 16 V matches the original specification exactly.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status?

A: The original LXZ16VB561M8X20LL is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts (ELXZ160ELL561MH20D and UPA1E561MPD) are ROHS3 compliant. This status is relevant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: The ELXZ160ELL561MH20D carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is designated for automotive applications. The UPA1E561MPD and original LXZ16VB561M8X20LL are designated for general-purpose applications. Selection should align with application requirements and any automotive qualification mandates.
