Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MLP201M420EA1C be used as a direct replacement for MLP201M420EA0C?

A: Yes. The MLP201M420EA1C is a direct parametric equivalent. All electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and package configuration are identical. No circuit redesign or board layout modification is required.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certifications between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH-affected classification, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Both maintain active product status from Cornell Dubilier Electronics.

Q: What determines substitutability for this capacitor?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching capacitance (200 µF), voltage rating (420 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (882 mOhm @ 120 Hz), lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), ripple current specifications (1.4 A @ 120 Hz and 1.6 A @ 20 kHz), lead spacing (1.000"), physical dimensions (2.000" L × 1.750" W × 0.500" H), and package type (FlatPack through-hole).

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. Both MLP201M420EA0C and MLP201M420EA1C are RoHS non-compliant and are not suitable for applications with RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the different inventory levels?

A: The MLP201M420EA1C has higher current inventory (1113 units versus 726 units). This difference reflects current stock availability and may influence procurement decisions for applications with extended production runs or bulk requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical FlatPack dimensions of 2.000" L × 1.750" W with a maximum seated height of 0.500". Lead spacing is 1.000" for both parts, ensuring identical through-hole board layout compatibility.
