MVH10VC331MJ10TP Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The MVH10VC331MJ10TP is a 330 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in surface mount radial can package manufactured by Chemi-Con. This part operates across -40°C to 125°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 125°C and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active product lines are necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:
Direct Substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications: 330 µF capacitance, 10 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, and identical physical dimensions (0.394" diameter, 0.394" height, 10.30mm x 10.30mm land size). These parts are pin-compatible and require no circuit modifications.
Upgrade Substitutes increase voltage rating to 16 V or 25 V while maintaining 330 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, and compatible package dimensions. These provide enhanced voltage margin and are mechanically compatible with the original footprint. Height may vary slightly (up to 0.413" / 10.50mm) but remains within surface mount assembly tolerances.
Similar Substitutes match the original 10 V rating and 330 µF capacitance with compatible package dimensions but may differ in ESR characteristics or series designation. These maintain electrical compatibility for the specified voltage and capacitance requirements.
Substitution is not permitted across different capacitance values, tolerance grades, or incompatible package footprints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
For Direct Replacement (10 V, 330 µF):
EMVH100ARA331MJA0G is the preferred direct substitute from Chemi-Con's active product line. It maintains identical voltage and capacitance ratings with matching case diameter and height. ROHS3 compliance and active product status ensure long-term availability. EMHJ100ARA331MJA0G offers superior ESR performance (120mOhm vs. 700mOhm) with ROHS3 compliance but has a slightly increased height (0.406" vs. 0.394"). UCJ1A331MCL1GS from Nichicon provides an alternative from a different manufacturer with ROHS3 compliance and active status, though ESR is higher at 1.5Ohm.
For Voltage Upgrade (16 V or 25 V, 330 µF):
EMHJ160ARA331MJA0G (16 V) and EMHJ250ARA331MJA0G (25 V) from Chemi-Con's Alchip™ MHJ series provide upgraded voltage ratings with superior ESR (120mOhm @ 100kHz) and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are ROHS3 compliant with active product status. Rubycon alternatives (16THV330M10X10.5, 25TGV330M10X10.5, 25THV330M10X10.5) offer extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 125°C vs. 2000 Hrs) with AEC-Q200 qualification and ROHS3 compliance.
Compliance Considerations:
All active substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing the non-compliant status of the obsolete MVH10VC331MJ10TP. Selection should prioritize active product status and ROHS3 compliance for new designs and long-term procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can EMHJ100ARA331MJA0G directly replace MVH10VC331MJ10TP?
A: Yes. Both are 330 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitors with compatible surface mount radial can packages and 10.30mm x 10.30mm land sizes. Height increases from 0.394" to 0.406", which remains within standard surface mount assembly tolerances. EMHJ100ARA331MJA0G is ROHS3 compliant and active.
Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and upgrade substitutes?
A: Direct substitutes maintain the original 10 V voltage rating. Upgrade substitutes increase voltage to 16 V or 25 V while preserving 330 µF capacitance and package compatibility. Upgrade substitutes provide higher voltage margin and are mechanically compatible with the original footprint.
Q: Are 16 V and 25 V rated parts compatible with a 10 V circuit?
A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are electrically compatible in lower voltage applications. A 16 V or 25 V capacitor operates safely in a 10 V circuit and provides additional voltage headroom.
Q: Does the height difference between 0.394" and 0.413" affect PCB assembly?
A: No. The height variation of 0.019" (0.5mm) is within standard surface mount component tolerances and does not require PCB redesign. Assembly equipment accommodates this variation.
Q: Why do some substitutes have different ESR values?
A: ESR varies by manufacturer design and series. Lower ESR values (120mOhm vs. 700mOhm) indicate improved performance characteristics. ESR is measured at different frequencies depending on the part series; direct comparison requires matching measurement conditions.
Q: Are Rubycon parts equivalent to Chemi-Con parts?
A: Yes, for the specified electrical parameters. Rubycon 25TGV330M10X10.5 and 25THV330M10X10.5 match Chemi-Con specifications for 330 µF, 25 V, ±20% tolerance with compatible packages. Rubycon parts offer extended lifetime (3000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs @ 125°C) and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.
Q: Is RoHS compliance required for my application?
A: The original MVH10VC331MJ10TP is RoHS non-compliant. All active substitutes listed are ROHS3 compliant. If RoHS compliance is mandatory for your design or market, select only ROHS3 compliant alternatives.
Q: Can I use UCJ1A331MCL1GS from Nichicon instead of Chemi-Con parts?
A: Yes. UCJ1A331MCL1GS is a 330 µF, 10 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor with compatible surface mount package, ROHS3 compliance, and active product status. It is electrically and mechanically compatible with the original part.
