Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDK336M016S9DAA replace MVA16VC33RME55TP in automotive applications?

A: Yes. EDK336M016S9DAA maintains identical electrical specifications (33 µF, 16 V, ±20%, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C) and mechanical compatibility (5.00 mm diameter, 5.30 mm x 5.30 mm land size). The part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is ROHS3 compliant. Height is 5.65 mm versus original 5.20 mm; PCB layout must accommodate this difference.

Q: What is the difference between EDK and EEV series substitutes?

A: EDK series maintains the original 2000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime with operating temperature to 85°C. EEV series extends lifetime to 2000 Hrs @ 105°C with operating temperature range -55°C to 105°C. EEV series also provides significantly higher ripple current capability (112 mA @ 120 Hz vs. 45 mA for EDK) and lower impedance (1 Ohm). Selection depends on thermal environment and ripple current requirements.

Q: Why is the height different between MVA16VC33RME55TP (5.20 mm) and KEMET substitutes (5.65 mm)?

A: Height variation reflects different internal construction and performance characteristics. KEMET EDK and EDH series at 5.65 mm accommodate enhanced electrical performance. EMVA250ADA330ME55G from Chemi-Con maintains 5.20 mm height. PCB layout clearance must be verified before substitution.

Q: Can I use a 25 V rated part instead of 16 V?

A: Yes. Higher voltage rating provides design margin and is electrically compatible. EMVA250ADA330ME55G, EDK336M025A9DAA, EDK336M025S9DAA, and EEV336M025A9DAA all maintain 33 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance while providing 25 V rating. Mechanical compatibility (5.00 mm diameter, 5.30 mm x 5.30 mm land size) is maintained. Height varies by manufacturer.

Q: Is RoHS compliance required for my application?

A: MVA16VC33RME55TP is RoHS non-compliant. All KEMET substitutes (EDK, EDH, EEV series) are ROHS3 compliant. EMVA250ADA330ME55G is also ROHS3 compliant. If RoHS compliance is mandatory, select from KEMET or EMVA250ADA330ME55G options.

Q: What is the difference between EDH336M016A9DAA and EEV336M016A9DAA?

A: Both provide 2000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime and 16 V rating. EDH336M016A9DAA operates -40°C to 105°C. EEV336M016A9DAA operates -55°C to 105°C with significantly higher ripple current (112 mA @ 120 Hz vs. 40 mA) and lower impedance (1 Ohm). EEV series is preferred for high-ripple-current or wide-temperature applications.

Q: Are all substitutes available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: KEMET substitutes (EDK, EDH, EEV series) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. EMVA250ADA330ME55G is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Original MVA16VC33RME55TP packaging format is not specified in available data. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement.

Q: What inventory status should I consider for long-term supply?

A: MVA16VC33RME55TP is obsolete. EMVA250ADA330ME55G is Last Time Buy status. All KEMET substitutes (EDK, EDH, EEV series) are in Active production status, ensuring long-term availability. For new designs or sustained production, KEMET active parts are recommended.
