Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LXZ35VB331M10X16LL is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 35 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Diameter: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Height - Seated (Max): Variation permitted within physical board space constraints
• Ripple Current: Variation permitted if equal to or greater than original specification
• Impedance: Variation permitted if equal to or less than original specification
• Lifetime @ Temperature: Variation permitted if equal to or greater than original specification

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories: Direct Manufacturer (same manufacturer, active status), Similar Manufacturer (same manufacturer, alternative series), and Parametric Equivalent (different manufacturer, matching electrical parameters).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Ongoing Support of Existing Systems:

ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S is the primary direct substitute. This Chemi-Con component maintains identical electrical parameters and physical dimensions to the original LXZ35VB331M10X16LL. The part is active in production, ROHS3 compliant, and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Height increase from 16.00mm to 17.50mm is minimal and accommodates standard PCB layouts. This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs without modification.

For New Designs Requiring Compliance:

ELXY350ELL331MJ20S provides an alternative from Chemi-Con's LXY series. This part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and AEC-Q200 qualified. Electrical parameters remain equivalent with impedance improvement (62 mOhms versus 68 mOhms). Height increases to 21.50mm, requiring verification of available board space. This part is suitable for new designs where increased height can be accommodated.

For General Purpose Applications with Extended Inventory:

UPW1V331MPD from Nichicon provides parametric equivalence with identical electrical specifications and original height dimension (16.00mm). This part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains 5000 hour lifetime rating. Product status is "Not For New Designs," limiting use to legacy system support where existing inventory is available. Ripple current capability is enhanced at 682.5 mA @ 120 Hz.

Compliance Consideration:

The original LXZ35VB331M10X16LL is RoHS non-compliant. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new production and system updates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S be used as a direct replacement for LXZ35VB331M10X16LL?

A: Yes. ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Height increases from 16.00mm to 17.50mm, a 1.50mm difference that accommodates standard PCB layouts. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S and ELXY350ELL331MJ20S?

A: Both parts are Chemi-Con products with identical capacitance, voltage, and tolerance. ELXY350ELL331MJ20S belongs to the LXY series and has a taller profile (21.50mm versus 17.50mm). Impedance is lower (62 mOhms versus 68 mOhms), providing improved performance. Selection depends on available PCB height clearance.

Q: Is UPW1V331MPD suitable for new designs?

A: UPW1V331MPD is designated "Not For New Designs" by Nichicon. This part is suitable only for ongoing support of existing systems where inventory is available. For new designs, ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S or ELXY350ELL331MJ20S are recommended.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S, ELXY350ELL331MJ20S, and UPW1V331MPD are all ROHS3 compliant. The original LXZ35VB331M10X16LL is RoHS non-compliant, making substitution necessary for new production meeting current regulatory standards.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S and ELXY350ELL331MJ20S carry this certification, indicating suitability for automotive applications. The original part and UPW1V331MPD do not carry this designation.

Q: Can height variation affect PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Height differences must be evaluated against available board space and component clearance requirements. ELXZ350ELL331MJ16S adds 1.50mm, ELXY350ELL331MJ20S adds 5.50mm compared to the original. UPW1V331MPD maintains original height. Verify clearance before selection.

Q: Are ripple current differences significant?

A: Ripple current specifications indicate thermal performance under AC conditions. All substitutes meet or exceed the original 525 mA @ 120 Hz specification. UPW1V331MPD provides enhanced ripple current capability at 682.5 mA @ 120 Hz, beneficial for high-ripple applications.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for UPW1V331MPD?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer is not recommending this part for new product development. It remains available for legacy system support and repair. For new designs, active-status alternatives are preferred.
