MVA16VC22RMD55TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MVA16VC22RMD55TP is a 22 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Chemi-Con in the MVA series. This surface mount component is rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance) and compatible physical dimensions to ensure direct board-level replacement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), case diameter (4.00mm), surface mount land size (4.30mm x 4.30mm), and mounting type (surface mount). Height variation is acceptable within the constraint that substitute parts do not exceed the maximum seated height of the original component or create clearance conflicts in the target application. All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical ratings and physical footprints compatible with the original PCB design.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Same Thermal Rating)

EDK226M016A9BAA and EDK226M016S9BAA from KEMET are active production parts with identical electrical specifications and thermal performance (2000 Hrs @ 85°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant. EDK226M016S9BAA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are preferred for direct replacement in non-automotive applications requiring equivalent thermal characteristics.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives

16SEV22M4X5.5 (Rubycon) and EDK226M016S9BAA (KEMET) carry AEC-Q200 ratings. Both maintain 2000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime and are ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these depends on supply chain availability and existing qualification documentation.

Enhanced Thermal Performance Options

EDH226M016A9BAA, EDH226M016S9BAA, EEV226M016A9BAA, and EEV226M016S9BAA from KEMET provide extended thermal ratings (2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and expanded operating temperature ranges. EDH226M016S9BAA and EEV226M016S9BAA include AEC-Q200 certification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher temperature margin or extended operational life. EEV series offers the widest operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C).

Obsolete Part Alternatives

UWR1C220MCL1GB (Nichicon) and AVS226M16B12T-F (CDE) are classified as obsolete or not for new designs. These are suitable only for legacy system maintenance where original part sourcing is exhausted. Both are ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDK226M016A9BAA replace MVA16VC22RMD55TP directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), case diameter (4.00mm), and surface mount land size (4.30mm x 4.30mm). EDK226M016A9BAA is active production and ROHS3 compliant, making it a suitable direct replacement. The height difference (5.65mm vs 5.20mm) is acceptable provided PCB clearance permits.

Q: What is the difference between EDK226M016A9BAA and EDK226M016S9BAA?

A: Both are KEMET EDK series parts with identical electrical and thermal specifications. EDK226M016S9BAA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification; EDK226M016A9BAA does not. Selection depends on application requirements and automotive compliance needs.

Q: Are the EEV series parts (EEV226M016A9BAA, EEV226M016S9BAA) compatible?

A: Yes. EEV series parts maintain the same 22 µF, 16 V specifications and physical footprint. They offer enhanced thermal performance (2000 Hrs @ 105°C vs 85°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). These are upgrades suitable for applications requiring higher temperature margin.

Q: Why is height variation acceptable among substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain the same case diameter (4.00mm) and surface mount land size (4.30mm x 4.30mm). Height variations (5.20mm to 5.65mm) do not affect electrical performance or PCB footprint compatibility. Clearance verification is required only if the application has height-constrained assembly areas.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best long-term availability?

A: KEMET EDK226M016A9BAA and EDK226M016S9BAA are active production parts with the highest availability assurance. Rubycon 16SEV22M4X5.5 is classified as Last Time Buy, indicating limited future availability.

Q: Is RoHS compliance required for my application?

A: The original MVA16VC22RMD55TP is RoHS non-compliant. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. If RoHS compliance is mandatory for your application, any substitute part listed is acceptable. If legacy non-compliant parts are required, alternative sourcing outside this list is necessary.
