MVE6.3VC221MF80TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MVE6.3VC221MF80TP is a 220 µF, 6.3 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in surface mount radial can package manufactured by Chemi-Con. This component is classified as obsolete, with 1075 units currently in stock. 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 non-RoHS compliant.

Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active product lines are necessary for new designs and long-term supply chain continuity. The substitute parts listed maintain the same capacitance and voltage rating while offering improved specifications, active product status, and RoHS3 compliance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MVE6.3VC221MF80TP is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Requirements:

Capacitance: 220 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 6.3 V minimum (equal or higher voltage ratings are acceptable)
Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (identical form factor)
Case Diameter: 0.248" (6.30 mm)
Land Size: 0.260" L x 0.260" W (6.60 mm x 6.60 mm)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount
Polarization: Polar

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C minimum
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
Maximum Height: Physical clearance constraints may limit acceptable heights

Substitute parts are grouped by voltage rating (6.3 V, 10 V, and 16 V) and product series. All listed substitutes maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, case diameter, and land size. Voltage ratings above 6.3 V are electrically compatible for applications designed for 6.3 V operation. Height variations and lifetime specifications differ among series and are noted in the comparison table.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Voltage, Same Height): EMVE100ARA221MF80G and EMVE160ARA221MF80G from the Alchip™- MVE series are direct mechanical and electrical equivalents. Both maintain the original 0.303" (7.70 mm) height, identical land size, and same operating temperature range. These parts are active products with RoHS3 compliance and are recommended for designs requiring minimal PCB layout changes.

Voltage-Upgraded Equivalents (Same Height): EMVY100ARA221MF80G and EMVY160ARA221MF80G from the Alchip™- MVY series provide higher voltage ratings (10 V and 16 V respectively) while maintaining the original 0.303" (7.70 mm) height. These parts are suitable for applications where higher voltage margin is beneficial. The MVY series extends the operating temperature range to -55°C to 105°C.

Extended Lifetime Equivalents (Increased Height): EMLA6R3ARA221MF80G, EMLA100ARA221MF80G, and EMLA160ARA221MF80G from the Alchip™- MLA series offer 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C compared to 1000 hours. These parts have a maximum height of 0.315" (8.00 mm), requiring verification of PCB clearance. The MLA series is available in Tape & Reel packaging.

Automotive-Grade Equivalents: EMZA100ARA221MF80G and EMZA160ARA221MF80G from the Alchip™- MZA series are AEC-Q200 rated for automotive applications. These parts offer 2000-hour lifetime and extended temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) with 0.315" (8.00 mm) height.

Selection Criteria:

For direct replacement with minimal design changes: Select EMVE series (same height as original)
For extended reliability: Select MLA or MVL series (3000-hour lifetime)
For automotive applications: Select MZA series (AEC-Q200 compliance)
For extended temperature range: Select MVY or MZA series (-55°C to 105°C)
All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and suitable for new designs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 10 V or 16 V rated capacitor in place of the 6.3 V original part? A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are electrically compatible with circuits designed for lower voltages. A 10 V or 16 V capacitor will function correctly in a 6.3 V application. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not affect circuit operation.

Q: What is the impact of the increased height (0.315" vs. 0.303") on PCB layout? A: The 0.012" (0.30 mm) height increase must be verified against PCB clearance constraints, including component stacking, enclosure height, and adjacent component placement. If clearance is limited, select EMVE or MVY series parts that maintain the original 0.303" height.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original MVE6.3VC221MF80TP? A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical case diameter (0.248" / 6.30 mm), land size (0.260" L x 0.260" W / 6.60 mm x 6.60 mm), and surface mount radial can package configuration. PCB footprints are directly compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the MLA, MVE, MVL, MVY, and MZA series? A: These series differ in lifetime rating, temperature range, and application focus. MVE and MVY maintain 1000-hour lifetime; MLA and MVL offer 3000-hour lifetime; MZA provides 2000-hour lifetime with automotive qualification. MVY and MZA extend the operating temperature range to -55°C. MZA is specifically rated for automotive applications (AEC-Q200).

Q: Why is the original MVE6.3VC221MF80TP marked as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. All listed substitute parts are from active product lines and are recommended for new designs and long-term supply chain reliability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are RoHS3 compliant, whereas the original MVE6.3VC221MF80TP is non-compliant. This compliance is required for many applications and regulatory environments.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts? A: Most substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. EMVL6R3ARA221MF80G is available without specified packaging. EMZA160ARA221MF80G is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly requirements.

Q: Can I mix different substitute part series in the same design? A: Yes, provided all parts meet the circuit's voltage, capacitance, and temperature requirements. However, using a single part number across the design simplifies procurement, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.
