MVE16VC151MF80TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MVE16VC151MF80TP is a 150 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Chemi-Con in surface mount radial can package. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C and is suitable for general-purpose applications including bypass and decoupling functions.

Due to its obsolete status, direct replacement with active production equivalents is necessary for new designs and ongoing procurement. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MVE16VC151MF80TP is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

Capacitance: 150 µF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 16 V minimum (equal or higher voltage rating acceptable)
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C minimum (equal or wider range acceptable)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
Size / Dimension: 0.248" Dia (6.30mm) (exact match required)
Surface Mount Land Size: 0.260" L x 0.260" W (6.60mm x 6.60mm) (exact match required)

Performance Parameters (Secondary Considerations):

Lifetime @ 105°C: 1000 hours minimum (equal or longer acceptable)
Ripple Current @ 120 Hz: 100 mA minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
ESR: Lower values indicate improved performance (not a limiting factor for substitution)

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on their relationship to the original specification:

Parametric Equivalent: Parts that match all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with identical lifetime ratings and performance characteristics.

Direct Equivalent: Parts that match all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with equal or improved performance characteristics and active product status.

Upgrade: Parts that exceed the original specification in one or more performance parameters (higher lifetime, lower ESR, higher ripple current capacity) while maintaining mechanical compatibility and meeting or exceeding electrical requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent Selection:

The EMVE160ARA151MF80G from Chemi-Con provides a direct parametric equivalent to the MVE16VC151MF80TP. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (150 µF, 16 V, ±20% tolerance) and mechanical dimensions (6.30mm diameter, 7.70mm height). The EMVE160ARA151MF80G is in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for designs requiring exact specification matching with modern manufacturing standards.

Direct Equivalent Selection:

The UWT1C151MCL1GS from Nichicon and AVEZ157M16X16T-F from Cornell Dubilier Electronics serve as direct equivalents with active product status. Both parts maintain the required 150 µF capacitance, 16 V rating, and ±20% tolerance. These parts feature extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 105°C) compared to the original specification, providing improved performance margin in low-temperature applications. Both are ROHS3 compliant.

Upgrade Selection for Enhanced Performance:

For applications requiring improved reliability and performance characteristics, the following upgrades are available:

AFK157M16X16T-F (Cornell Dubilier Electronics): Provides 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C (double the original 1000 hours), AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and 340 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz. Height increases to 8.20mm and land size expands to 6.60mm x 7.80mm.
EEE-FK1C151XP (Panasonic Electronic Components): Delivers 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Maintains standard 6.60mm x 6.60mm land size with 8.00mm height. Suitable for automotive and general-purpose applications.
EEV157M016A9HAA and EEV157M016S9HAA (KEMET): Both provide 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C with 340 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz. The EEV157M016S9HAA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Standard land size with 8.00mm height.

Voltage Upgrade Consideration:

The UCM1E151MCL1GS (Nichicon) and EEE-FKE151XSP (Panasonic) provide 150 µF capacitance at 25 V rating instead of 16 V. These parts are mechanically compatible and offer higher voltage margin. The UCM1E151MCL1GS is in active production with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and 2000-hour lifetime. The EEE-FKE151XSP is marked "Not For New Designs" and should not be selected for new applications.

Compliance and Production Status:

All recommended substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, addressing the non-compliance status of the original MVE16VC151MF80TP. Parts with active production status are preferred for new designs. The EEE-FKE151XSP should be avoided due to its "Not For New Designs" status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EMVE160ARA151MF80G directly replace the MVE16VC151MF80TP without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The EMVE160ARA151MF80G maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions (6.30mm diameter, 7.70mm height, 6.60mm x 6.60mm land size). No PCB layout changes are required. The part is a parametric equivalent with active production status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the EMLA160ARA151MF80G and EMVE160ARA151MF80G?

A: Both are Chemi-Con products with 150 µF, 16 V specifications. The EMLA160ARA151MF80G (Alchip™-MLA series) provides 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C with 8.00mm height. The EMVE160ARA151MF80G (Alchip™-MVE series) provides 1000-hour lifetime at 105°C with 7.70mm height matching the original part. Selection depends on required lifetime and available PCB height clearance.

Q: Are the AFK157M16X16T-F and EEE-FK1C151XP suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The AFK157M16X16T-F is rated for automotive, bypass, and decoupling applications. The EEE-FK1C151XP is rated for automotive applications. Both provide 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C and are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have different heights (8.00mm or 8.20mm) compared to the original 7.70mm?

A: Height variations result from different internal construction and performance characteristics. Parts with 8.00mm or 8.20mm heights typically offer improved performance (higher lifetime, lower ESR, higher ripple current capacity). PCB layout must accommodate the maximum height. Verify available clearance before selection.

Q: Can the UCM1E151MCL1GS (25 V rating) be used in place of the MVE16VC151MF80TP (16 V rating)?

A: Yes. The UCM1E151MCL1GS is mechanically compatible with identical 6.30mm diameter and 6.60mm x 6.60mm land size. The higher 25 V rating provides additional voltage margin and is acceptable in 16 V applications. The part offers 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. REACH status is affected; verify compliance requirements for your application.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard indicating the part meets stringent reliability and performance requirements for automotive applications. Parts with this rating (AFK157M16X16T-F, EEE-FK1C151XP, EEV157M016S9HAA, UCM1E151MCL1GS) are suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Non-automotive-rated parts are suitable for general-purpose applications.

Q: Why is the EEE-FKE151XSP marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in end-of-life status and should not be selected for new product designs. While the part is currently available in inventory, future availability is not guaranteed. Select active production alternatives such as EEE-FK1C151XP or UCM1E151MCL1GS instead.

Q: What is the difference between the AVEZ157M16X16T-F and UWT1C151MCL1GS?

A: Both are direct equivalents with 150 µF, 16 V specifications and 1000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The AVEZ157M16X16T-F (Cornell Dubilier) features 204 mA ripple current at 120 Hz and 500 mOhm impedance. The UWT1C151MCL1GS (Nichicon) features 95 mA ripple current at 120 Hz. Selection depends on ripple current requirements and preferred manufacturer.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant except the original MVE16VC151MF80TP, which is RoHS non-compliant. The UCM1E151MCL1GS has affected REACH status; verify REACH compliance requirements for your specific application before selection.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts listed have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Parts can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures.
