Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Core Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance: 68 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.492" Dia (12.50mm) minimum; height tolerance within PCB assembly constraints
• Surface Mount Land Size: Compatible with 0.512" × 0.512" (13.00mm × 13.00mm) footprint
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)

Acceptable Parameter Variations:

• Operating Temperature Range: May exceed -40°C ~ 85°C (higher upper limit acceptable)
• Lifetime Rating: May exceed 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (longer lifetime acceptable)
• ESR: Lower values acceptable; higher values require verification
• Ripple Current: Higher values acceptable
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant substitutes acceptable for RoHS non-compliant original

All substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are electrically and mechanically compatible with the MVA100VC68RMK14TP.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher operating temperature range? A: Yes. All listed substitutes operate to 105°C or higher, exceeding the original part's 85°C maximum. This provides improved thermal margin and is electrically compatible.

Q: What is the impact of different surface mount land sizes? A: AFK686M2AH32T-F (0.531" L × 0.590" W) and MAL215099906E3 (0.492" L × 0.492" W) have different land sizes than the original (0.512" L × 0.512" W). PCB layout verification is required before substitution. EMVE101ARA680MKE0S and EMVY101ARA680MKE0S maintain identical land sizes.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original MVA100VC68RMK14TP is RoHS non-compliant. This is acceptable for new designs and upgrades.

Q: What is the difference between the Chemi-Con MVE and MVY series? A: EMVE101ARA680MKE0S (MVE) provides 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime. EMVY101ARA680MKE0S (MVY) extends this to 5000 Hrs @ 105°C. Both maintain identical physical dimensions and land sizes.

Q: Which substitute is best for automotive applications? A: 100SGV68M12.5X13.5, AFK686M2AH32T-F, and MAL215099906E3 all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. AFK686M2AH32T-F offers the widest temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and highest inventory availability.

Q: Can I use these substitutes interchangeably on the same PCB? A: EMVE101ARA680MKE0S and EMVY101ARA680MKE0S are direct substitutes with identical dimensions and land sizes. 100SGV68M12.5X13.5, AFK686M2AH32T-F, and MAL215099906E3 require PCB layout verification due to height and land size variations.

Q: What does ESR mean and why does it matter? A: Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) affects ripple current handling and heat generation. The original part specifies 2.438 Ohm @ 120Hz. Lower ESR values in substitutes improve performance. Specific ESR values are not provided for most substitutes; verify against application requirements if ESR is critical.
