Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MAL214856472E3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Match: Capacitance value of 4700 µF, voltage rating of 25 V, and tolerance of ±20% must be identical
Mechanical Compatibility: Lead spacing of 0.295" (7.50 mm), case diameter of 0.630" (16.00 mm), and through-hole mounting configuration must align with PCB layout requirements
Polarization: Polar configuration must be maintained for correct circuit operation
Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status ensure regulatory alignment
Package Configuration: Radial, can-style package ensures footprint compatibility

Three substitute parts meet these criteria: 25YXJ4700M16X31.5 (Rubycon), EKYB250ELL472MLN3S (Chemi-Con), and UHW1E472MHD (Nichicon). All substitutes maintain identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, lead spacing, case diameter, and mounting type specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the MAL214856472E3 based on matching capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, lead spacing, case diameter, and through-hole mounting configuration.

For Active Product Status: The 25YXJ4700M16X31.5 (Rubycon) and EKYB250ELL472MLN3S (Chemi-Con) are both classified as Active products and are suitable for new designs and ongoing production applications.

For Legacy or Existing Designs: The UHW1E472MHD (Nichicon) is classified as Not For New Designs but remains available for replacement in existing applications where the original MAL214856472E3 is no longer obtainable.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 25YXJ4700M16X31.5 directly replace the MAL214856472E3?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (4700 µF), voltage rating (25 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50 mm), case diameter (0.630" / 16.00 mm), and through-hole radial can package configuration. The 25YXJ4700M16X31.5 offers extended lifetime (10000 hours at 105°C versus 3000 hours) and lower impedance, making it a direct functional replacement.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All three substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The primary differences are manufacturer (Rubycon, Chemi-Con, Nichicon), series designation, impedance values (ranging from 11 to 19 mOhms), and product status. The EKYB250ELL472MLN3S has a slightly reduced maximum height (1.299" versus 1.319"), which may be relevant for space-constrained applications.

Q: Why is the UHW1E472MHD marked as Not For New Designs?

A: The UHW1E472MHD is classified as Not For New Designs by Nichicon, indicating it is in the mature or end-of-life phase of its product lifecycle. It remains available for replacement in existing applications but should not be selected for new circuit designs where active alternatives are available.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The MAL214856472E3 and all three substitute parts (25YXJ4700M16X31.5, EKYB250ELL472MLN3S, UHW1E472MHD) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, ensuring regulatory compliance across all options.

Q: Will the substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the same lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50 mm) and case diameter (0.630" / 16.00 mm). The EKYB250ELL472MLN3S has a maximum height of 1.299" (33.00 mm) compared to 1.319" (34.60 mm) for the other parts, which provides additional clearance in height-constrained layouts but does not affect footprint compatibility.
