MAL212364151 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAL212364151 is a 150 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in axial configuration, manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components as part of the 123 SAL-A series. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and production continuity. The part features a 2.4 Ohm equivalent series resistance at 100 Hz and is rated for 20,000 hours at 125°C, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAL212364151 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 150 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 10 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Axial, Can through-hole format
• Polarization: Polar (electrolytic)

The substitute part MAL213824151E3 meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. While differences exist in ESR characteristics, lifetime ratings, and operating temperature ranges, these variations fall within acceptable parameters for equivalent component selection in the aluminum electrolytic capacitor category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAL213824151E3 serves as the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete MAL212364151. Both components share identical core electrical specifications: 150 µF capacitance, 10 V voltage rating, and ±20% tolerance. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The MAL213824151E3 achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement is significant for applications subject to regulatory requirements. The substitute operates within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -55°C to 125°C) and has reduced lifetime rating at elevated temperature (2000 hours at 105°C versus 20,000 hours at 125°C). Circuit designs must account for these thermal performance differences when operating near temperature extremes or in high-reliability applications requiring extended service life at maximum rated temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAL213824151E3 directly replace MAL212364151 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within the substitute's temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). Designs requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C require thermal analysis to confirm suitability.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The substitute features lower ESR (2.1 Ohm at 100 kHz versus 2.4 Ohm at 100 Hz), reduced ripple current capability (140 mA versus 240 mA at 100 Hz), and higher impedance (950 mOhms versus 400 mOhms). The substitute also has a shorter lifetime rating at elevated temperature and narrower operating temperature range.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible?

A: No. The MAL212364151 measures 0.370" diameter × 0.917" length (9.40 mm × 23.30 mm), while the MAL213824151E3 measures 0.303" diameter × 0.500" length (7.70 mm × 12.70 mm). PCB layout and mechanical clearance must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The original part uses standard through-hole packaging. The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for active production components but requires different handling and placement equipment.

Q: Does the substitute meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. The MAL213824151E3 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the original MAL212364151 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected.
