MAL212366229 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MAL212366229 is a 22 µF, 25 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 rated for general-purpose applications with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and a lifetime specification of 20,000 hours at 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MAL212366229 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25 V (minimum acceptable rating)
• Package Configuration: Axial, Can through-hole mounting
• Tolerance: ±20% (standard tolerance class)
• Polarization: Polar (electrolytic type)

The substitute part 226TMA025M meets all primary electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and through-hole axial package configuration, enabling direct functional substitution in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 226TMA025M from Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete MAL212366229. Both components are electrically and mechanically compatible for through-hole axial mounting applications requiring 22 µF at 25 V with ±20% tolerance.

The 226TMA025M offers the advantage of active product status with ROHS3 compliance, supporting modern procurement and regulatory requirements. The substitute part exhibits comparable ESR characteristics and is suitable for bypass and decoupling applications.

Selection of the 226TMA025M is appropriate for applications where the original MAL212366229 is no longer available. The operating temperature range of the substitute (-40°C to 105°C) is narrower than the original part; applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C require evaluation of alternative solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 226TMA025M be used as a direct replacement for the MAL212366229?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (25 V), tolerance (±20%), and through-hole axial package configuration. They are electrically and mechanically compatible for direct substitution in circuit board designs.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 105°C), lifetime rating (20,000 hours at 125°C vs. 2,000 hours at 105°C), and RoHS compliance status. The 226TMA025M is ROHS3 compliant, while the MAL212366229 is non-compliant.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences?

A: Yes. The MAL212366229 measures 0.299" diameter × 0.803" length (7.60 mm × 20.40 mm), while the 226TMA025M measures 0.197" diameter × 0.512" length (5.00 mm × 13.00 mm). The substitute is physically smaller and may require PCB layout verification for fit.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: The 226TMA025M is the appropriate choice for new designs. It is an active product with modern compliance certifications and is readily available in production quantities.

Q: Are there temperature limitations I should consider?

A: The 226TMA025M operates from -40°C to 105°C. If your application requires operation below -40°C or sustained operation above 105°C, alternative components must be evaluated.
