Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The EKXJ401ELL100MJ16S from Chemi-Con qualifies as a substitute for the MAL215263109E3 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Electrical equivalence is established through matching capacitance (10 µF) and tolerance (±20%). The substitute operates within the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and maintains polar configuration required for this application category.

Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), case diameter (0.394" / 10.00mm), and maximum seated height (0.689" / 17.50mm). Both components utilize radial, can package configuration with through-hole mounting, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Compliance alignment includes ROHS3 certification and AEC-Q200 automotive rating for both parts, supporting use in equivalent application environments.

The substitute part operates at a higher rated voltage (400 V versus 250 V) and provides extended lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 3000 Hrs @ 105°C), representing an upgrade path while maintaining all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MAL215263109E3 and EKXJ401ELL100MJ16S maintain active product status and carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification, qualifying them for equivalent application environments. The components share identical mechanical footprints and electrical specifications for capacitance and tolerance, ensuring direct interchangeability at the PCB level.

The EKXJ401ELL100MJ16S represents an upgrade option due to its higher voltage rating (400 V) and extended operational lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 105°C). Selection between these parts should be based on circuit voltage requirements and expected service life demands. Both components comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements, supporting equivalent regulatory compliance profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EKXJ401ELL100MJ16S directly replace the MAL215263109E3 on existing PCBs?
