Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MLS561M250EB0A is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part MLS561M250EB1A maintains identical specifications in the following categories:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Capacitance: 560 µF
• Voltage Rating: 250 V
• Tolerance: ±20%
• ESR: 240 mOhm @ 120 Hz
• Lifetime: 10000 Hrs @ 85°C
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 125°C
• Ripple Current @ 120 Hz: 6.5 A
• Ripple Current @ 20 kHz: 8.1 A

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Lead Spacing: 1.000" (25.40 mm)
• Physical Dimensions: 3.000" L × 1.750" W (76.20 mm × 44.45 mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.500" (12.70 mm)
• Package Type: FlatPack, Tabbed
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Polarization: Polar

The only variation between the main part and substitute is the packaging configuration (tape and reel versus bulk) and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MLS561M250EB0A and MLS561M250EB1A are active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements rather than technical performance.

MLS561M250EB0A is supplied in tape and reel packaging configuration with 856 units in current inventory. This configuration is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.

MLS561M250EB1A is supplied in bulk packaging configuration with 779 units in current inventory. This configuration is suitable for manual assembly, repair, and lower-volume applications.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Both operate across the full temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with equivalent series resistance of 240 mOhm at 120 Hz and rated lifetime of 10000 hours at 85°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MLS561M250EB1A be used as a direct replacement for MLS561M250EB0A?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging configuration (tape and reel versus bulk). Direct substitution is valid for all applications where the MLS561M250EB0A is specified.

Q: What is the difference between tape and reel packaging and bulk packaging?

A: Tape and reel packaging (MLS561M250EB0A) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging (MLS561M250EB1A) consists of loose components suitable for manual assembly or repair applications. Both contain the same component.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts have identical capacitance (560 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (240 mOhm @ 120 Hz), ripple current ratings, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Do these parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both parts are 3.000" L × 1.750" W (76.20 mm × 44.45 mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.500" (12.70 mm) and lead spacing of 1.000" (25.40 mm).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these capacitors?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both MLS561M250EB0A and MLS561M250EB1A are RoHS non-compliant. Both are REACH affected.

Q: What is the rated lifetime of these capacitors?

A: Both parts have a rated lifetime of 10000 hours at 85°C operating temperature.
