Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the MLS561M250EB0D and MLS561M250EB1A are Active product status components manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics within the MLS series. The parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, ripple current ratings, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions.

Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations. The MLS561M250EB0D has 731 units in stock, while the MLS561M250EB1A has 779 units in stock. Both parts carry identical compliance certifications: RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected designation, and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity).

For applications requiring 560 µF, 250 V aluminum electrolytic capacitors in FlatPack, Tabbed chassis mount configuration, either part number provides equivalent electrical performance and physical compatibility. Component selection should be based on procurement lead times and inventory allocation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are MLS561M250EB0D and MLS561M250EB1A directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specifications (560 µF, 250 V, ±20% tolerance, 240 mOhm ESR @ 120Hz, 10000 Hrs @ 85°C) and mechanical configuration (FlatPack, Tabbed, 1.000" lead spacing, 3.000" L x 1.750" W dimensions). Direct substitution is valid for circuit and board layout applications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this capacitor?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by exact equivalence across capacitance value, voltage rating, tolerance, ESR, lifetime rating, operating temperature range, ripple current specifications, package type, mounting configuration, and physical dimensions. All parameters must match precisely.

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

A: No. Both MLS561M250EB0D and MLS561M250EB1A are designated as RoHS non-compliant. Applications with RoHS compliance requirements must use alternative components meeting RoHS standards.

Q: What is the significance of the FlatPack, Tabbed package configuration?

A: The FlatPack, Tabbed configuration specifies the physical form factor and terminal design. This package type is specific to chassis mount applications with 1.000" lead spacing and 0.500" maximum seated height. Substitutes must maintain this exact package configuration for mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in the part numbers MLS561M250EB0D and MLS561M250EB1A?

A: The part numbers differ in the suffix characters (0D versus 1A), which typically indicate manufacturing batch or revision designation. However, all electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, making them functionally equivalent for engineering purposes.

Q: What is the ripple current rating significance?

A: The ripple current ratings (6.5 A @ 120 Hz and 8.1 A @ 20 kHz) define the maximum AC current the capacitor can handle at specified frequencies without exceeding thermal limits. Both parts have identical ripple current specifications, ensuring equivalent thermal performance in power supply and filtering applications.

Q: How does the 10000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime rating affect component selection?

A: The lifetime rating specifies the expected operational duration under maximum temperature conditions. Both parts have identical 10000-hour lifetime at 85°C, indicating equivalent reliability and aging characteristics for long-term applications.
