Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MLP383M016EB0C is limited to part numbers within the same electrical and mechanical specifications. A valid substitute maintains identical parameters across all critical selection criteria:

Key Substitution Parameters:

• Capacitance: 38000 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR: 31 mOhm @ 120 Hz (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Package/Case: FlatPack (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 1.000" (25.40 mm) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 3.000" L × 1.750" W × 0.500" H max (exact match required)

The substitute part MLP383M016EB1C meets all electrical and mechanical requirements, differing only in manufacturer inventory bin designation. Both parts are produced from the same CDE MLP series and are fully interchangeable in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MLP383M016EB0C and MLP383M016EB1C are active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics, suitable for direct component substitution. Selection between these two part numbers is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical differences.

The MLP383M016EB0C variant carries an inventory of 711 units, while the MLP383M016EB1C variant has 759 units available. Both parts share identical electrical performance, physical packaging, and regulatory compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected). Applications requiring these specifications can safely employ either part number as a direct substitute without circuit redesign or re-qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MLP383M016EB0C and MLP383M016EB1C electrically identical? A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured from the same CDE MLP series with identical capacitance (38000 µF), voltage rating (16 V), ESR (31 mOhm @ 120 Hz), temperature performance (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), and ripple current ratings. The part number suffix designates only the manufacturer's internal inventory bin.

Q: Can I substitute one part for the other in my design? A: Yes, both parts are fully interchangeable. They share identical electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and through-hole mounting configuration.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of these capacitors? A: Both capacitors feature FlatPack geometry with dimensions of 3.000" L × 1.750" W, a maximum seated height of 0.500", and 1.000" (25.40 mm) lead spacing for through-hole mounting.

Q: What is the tolerance on the capacitance value? A: Both parts carry a ±20% tolerance on the 38000 µF nominal capacitance, allowing operational values between 30400 µF and 45600 µF.

Q: Are there RoHS compliant versions of this capacitor? A: Based on the provided data, both MLP383M016EB0C and MLP383M016EB1C are RoHS non-compliant. No alternative part numbers with RoHS compliance status are available in the substitute list.

Q: What temperature range is this capacitor rated for? A: Both capacitors operate across -55°C to 85°C. The specified lifetime rating is 2000 hours at the maximum temperature of 85°C.

Q: Which ripple current rating applies to my application? A: Use the ripple current specification that matches your circuit frequency. At 120 Hz (low frequency), the rating is 9 A. At 20 kHz (high frequency), the rating is 9.6 A.
