Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Equivalent Performance):

Select EDK226M035A9DAA or UWR1V220MCL1GB when the design requires electrical and thermal characteristics identical to the MVA35VC22RME55TP. Both parts maintain the 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C and operate within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range. EDK226M035A9DAA is preferred due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment for new designs.

For Automotive Applications:

Select EDK226M035S9DAA when the application requires automotive-grade qualification. This part carries AEC-Q200 certification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability standards. It maintains electrical equivalence while providing active product status and ROHS3 compliance.

For Enhanced Thermal Performance:

Select EEV226M035A9DAA or EEV226M035S9DAA when the design operates in elevated temperature environments or requires extended service life. These parts extend the operating temperature range to -55°C to 105°C and provide 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C (versus 85°C for the original part). The significantly lower ESR (1 Ohm @ 100kHz) and higher ripple current ratings (112 mA @ 120 Hz, 160 mA @ 100 kHz) improve performance in high-frequency applications.

For Maximum Reliability in Automotive Applications:

Select EXV226M035S9DAA for automotive designs requiring the highest reliability margin. This part combines AEC-Q200 certification, extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and the longest lifetime specification (3000 hours at 105°C). The low ESR and high ripple current ratings provide superior performance in demanding automotive power management circuits.

Height Consideration:

All substitute parts except UWR1V220MCL1GB have a maximum seated height of 0.222" (5.65mm), compared to the original part's 0.205" (5.20mm). Verify PCB clearance and component placement constraints before selection. UWR1V220MCL1GB offers intermediate height of 0.217" (5.50mm) for space-constrained applications.

Regulatory Compliance:

All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new product designs. The original MVA35VC22RME55TP is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in new designs subject to RoHS directives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EDK226M035A9DAA directly replace MVA35VC22RME55TP without circuit modification?

A: Yes. EDK226M035A9DAA is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (35 V), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and lifetime specification (2000 Hrs @ 85°C). The surface mount land size (0.209" L x 0.209" W) is identical. Height difference (0.222" versus 0.205") requires verification of PCB clearance but does not affect electrical function.

Q: What is the difference between EDK226M035A9DAA and EDK226M035S9DAA?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with 22 µF capacitance, 35 V rating, and 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C. The primary difference is application focus: EDK226M035A9DAA is rated for general-purpose applications, while EDK226M035S9DAA carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Select the S9DAA variant for automotive designs requiring qualification compliance.

Q: Why do EEV226M035A9DAA and EEV226M035S9DAA have significantly higher ripple current ratings?

A: The EEV series features lower ESR (1 Ohm @ 100kHz versus 10.548 Ohm @ 120Hz for the original part) and extended thermal rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 2000 Hrs @ 85°C). These improvements result in higher ripple current capacity and better performance in high-frequency switching applications. The extended temperature rating also provides thermal margin in elevated-temperature environments.

Q: Is UWR1V220MCL1GB a suitable substitute despite obsolete status?

A: UWR1V220MCL1GB is electrically equivalent but shares obsolete product status with the original MVA35VC22RME55TP. While currently in stock (2625 Pcs), it offers no long-term supply assurance. Active alternatives (EDK226M035A9DAA, EEV226M035A9DAA, EXV226M035S9DAA) are preferred for new designs and production continuity.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.222" (5.65mm) height in substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts from KEMET (EDK and EEV series) have maximum seated height of 0.222" (5.65mm), exceeding the original part's 0.205" (5.20mm) by 0.017" (0.45mm). This difference requires verification against PCB component placement drawings and clearance constraints. If height is critical, UWR1V220MCL1GB at 0.217" (5.50mm) offers a compromise, though with obsolete status.

Q: Can EXV226M035S9DAA be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. EXV226M035S9DAA exceeds the electrical and thermal requirements of the original MVA35VC22RME55TP and is suitable for any application within its specified operating parameters. The AEC-Q200 automotive certification indicates enhanced reliability but does not restrict use to automotive circuits. The 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C and low ESR provide performance benefits for general-purpose applications as well.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All recommended substitute parts (EDK226M035A9DAA, EDK226M035S9DAA, UWR1V220MCL1GB, EEV226M035A9DAA, EEV226M035S9DAA, EXV226M035S9DAA) are ROHS3 compliant. The original MVA35VC22RME55TP is RoHS non-compliant and should not be used in new designs subject to RoHS directives.

Q: What is the difference between 120 Hz and 100 kHz ripple current specifications?

A: Ripple current ratings at different frequencies reflect capacitor performance under different operating conditions. Low-frequency ripple (120 Hz) is typical in linear power supplies and rectifier circuits. High-frequency ripple (10 kHz to 100 kHz) is relevant in switching power supplies and high-frequency switching applications. The EEV and EXV series provide significantly higher ripple current at both frequencies, indicating superior performance across a broader range of applications.

Q: Is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited) the same across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts listed, including the original MVA35VC22RME55TP and all substitutes, have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and are suitable for standard warehouse and manufacturing environments.
