MVA16VC221MF80TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MVA16VC221MF80TP is a 220 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in SMD radial can package manufactured by Chemi-Con. This part operates across -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for ongoing production and design continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MVA16VC221MF80TP is determined by the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Capacitance and Voltage: All substitute parts maintain 220 µF at 16 V rating
Tolerance: All parts maintain ±20% tolerance
Package and Mounting: All parts use identical SMD radial can package with 0.260" L x 0.260" W land size
Physical Compatibility: Diameter of 0.248" (6.30mm) is consistent across all parts; height variations up to 0.315" (8.00mm) remain within typical PCB assembly tolerances
Polarization: All parts are polar aluminum electrolytic capacitors
Operating Temperature: Substitute parts extend to 105°C operation, providing enhanced thermal margin over the original -40°C ~ 85°C range
Lifetime and Reliability: Substitute parts offer 2000 to 3000 hours at elevated temperatures, meeting or exceeding the original specification

Substitutes are grouped into upgrade and direct replacement categories based on product status and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS3 Compliant Designs: EMLA160ARA221MF80G, EMZA160ARA221MF80G, 16SEV220M6.3X8, 227AXZ016M, EDK227M016A9HAA, EDK227M016S9HAA, 16JZV220M6.3X8, and 16TKV220M6.3X8 all meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The original MVA16VC221MF80TP is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for new designs requiring regulatory compliance.

For Active Product Status: EMLA160ARA221MF80G, EMZA160ARA221MF80G, 16SEV220M6.3X8, 227AXZ016M, EDK227M016A9HAA, EDK227M016S9HAA, 16JZV220M6.3X8, and 16TKV220M6.3X8 are all active products with ongoing manufacturer support. AVE227M16X16T-F and EEE-1CA221XP are obsolete or not recommended for new designs.

For Extended Temperature Operation: Parts rated to -55°C ~ 105°C (EMZA160ARA221MF80G, 227AXZ016M, 16JZV220M6.3X8, 16TKV220M6.3X8) provide wider thermal margins than the original -40°C ~ 85°C specification.

For Automotive Applications: EMZA160ARA221MF80G, 16SEV220M6.3X8, EDK227M016S9HAA, 16JZV220M6.3X8, and 16TKV220M6.3X8 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace MVA16VC221MF80TP with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (220 µF, 16 V, ±20% tolerance) and compatible SMD radial can packaging with matching land sizes (0.260" L x 0.260" W). Physical height variations (0.303" to 0.315") are within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute this part?

A: The MVA16VC221MF80TP is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. Active substitute parts from Chemi-Con, Rubycon, KEMET, Cornell Dubilier, and Panasonic provide equivalent functionality with current manufacturing support and regulatory compliance.

Q: Which substitute offers the best thermal performance?

A: EMLA160ARA221MF80G provides 3000 hours lifetime at 105°C, the highest rating among all listed parts. 16TKV220M6.3X8 offers the lowest ESR (160 mOhm @ 100 kHz) and highest ripple current handling (360 mA @ 120 Hz, 600 mA @ 100 kHz).

Q: Are there packaging differences I should consider?

A: Yes. EMLA160ARA221MF80G uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. EMZA160ARA221MF80G uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. EEE-1CA221XP uses Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Most other substitutes use Tape & Reel (TR). Verify packaging compatibility with your assembly process.

Q: Which parts are suitable for automotive applications?

A: EMZA160ARA221MF80G, 16SEV220M6.3X8, EDK227M016S9HAA, 16JZV220M6.3X8, and 16TKV220M6.3X8 all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings.

Q: What is the difference between EMLA160ARA221MF80G and EMZA160ARA221MF80G?

A: Both are Chemi-Con Alchip™ series parts with identical electrical ratings. EMLA160ARA221MF80G offers 3000 hours at 105°C with general-purpose applications. EMZA160ARA221MF80G offers 2000 hours at 105°C with automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C).

Q: Can I use EEE-1CA221XP as a direct replacement?

A: EEE-1CA221XP is marked "Not For New Designs" by Panasonic. While electrically compatible, it is not recommended for new production. Use active alternatives such as EDK227M016A9HAA or 16SEV220M6.3X8 instead.
