Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MALREKA00JS368L00K is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 680 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.630" Dia (16.00mm) and height compatibility (33.00mm to 34.60mm acceptable)

The substitute part 100PX680MEFC16X31.5 from Rubycon meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Physical height variance of 0.020" (0.50mm) remains within acceptable PCB layout tolerances for radial can capacitors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 100PX680MEFC16X31.5 from Rubycon is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MALREKA00JS368L00K. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection. The Rubycon substitute offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C) and active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Physical dimensions remain compatible with existing PCB layouts, with height difference of 0.020" (0.50mm) within standard manufacturing tolerances for radial can capacitors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 100PX680MEFC16X31.5 be used as a direct replacement for MALREKA00JS368L00K?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (680 µF), voltage rating (100 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization, package type (radial can), mounting method (through hole), and lead spacing (7.50mm). Physical height difference of 0.50mm is within acceptable tolerance for PCB assembly.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The MALREKA00JS368L00K is classified as obsolete. The Rubycon 100PX680MEFC16X31.5 maintains active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute's extended range (-55°C to 105°C) encompasses the original part's range (-40°C to 85°C). This provides additional operational margin without affecting electrical performance within the original specification window.

Q: Are there any physical installation considerations?

A: The substitute is 0.020" (0.50mm) shorter in seated height. Verify PCB clearance above the component location. Lead spacing and diameter remain identical, requiring no PCB layout modifications.
