Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MVH50VC22RMF80TP is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Capacitance: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package/Case: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.248" Dia (6.30mm) with compatible height
• Surface Mount Land Size: 0.260" L × 0.260" W (6.60mm × 6.60mm) (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in ESR, ripple current ratings, lifetime specifications, and compliance certifications are secondary differentiators that do not preclude substitution but indicate performance or regulatory enhancements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EMVH500ARA220MF80G (Chemi-Con, Active Status)

This part is the direct equivalent from the same manufacturer. It maintains identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions to the MVH50VC22RMF80TP while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The ESR specification differs in measurement frequency (100 kHz vs. 120 Hz) but represents the same component family. This part is suitable for direct replacement in existing designs and new production.

50THV22M6.3X8 (Rubycon, Active Status, AEC-Q200 Rated)

This part meets all core substitution parameters with enhanced performance characteristics. It features reduced ESR (900 mΩ @ 100 kHz), doubled lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 125°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Physical height is 0.315" (8.00mm) compared to 0.303" (7.70mm) for the main part; this 0.012" difference must be evaluated for PCB layout clearance. ROHS3 compliance is provided. This part is suitable for applications requiring improved reliability and automotive-grade specifications.

UCZ1H220MCS1GS (Nichicon, Not For New Designs)

This part meets all core substitution parameters with the lowest ESR rating (500 mΩ @ 100 kHz) and highest ripple current capacity (197 mA @ 100 kHz). Lifetime rating is 2000 Hrs @ 125°C. Physical height is 0.315" (8.00mm). ROHS3 compliance is provided. Product status is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating this part is available for legacy support and repair applications but should not be selected for new product development.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EMVH500ARA220MF80G be used as a direct replacement for MVH50VC22RMF80TP?

A: Yes. EMVH500ARA220MF80G meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 22 µF capacitance, 50 V rating, ±20% tolerance, identical package type, surface mount configuration, and matching physical dimensions and land size. It is manufactured by the same company (Chemi-Con) and represents the active equivalent product.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between the main part (0.303") and the upgrade parts (0.315")?

A: The 0.012" (0.30mm) height increase for 50THV22M6.3X8 and UCZ1H220MCS1GS must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints, component clearance requirements, and enclosure dimensions. If vertical space is limited, this difference may require design modification. Horizontal dimensions and land size remain identical across all parts.

Q: Why does the ESR specification differ in measurement frequency between parts?

A: ESR values are frequency-dependent. The main part specifies ESR at 120 Hz, while substitute parts specify ESR at 100 kHz. These measurements reflect different operating conditions. Lower ESR values at higher frequencies (as shown in substitute parts) generally indicate improved performance in high-frequency ripple current applications.

Q: Is the UCZ1H220MCS1GS suitable for new product designs?

A: No. UCZ1H220MCS1GS carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it is available for legacy support, repair, and replacement applications only. For new product development, EMVH500ARA220MF80G or 50THV22M6.3X8 are appropriate selections.

Q: What compliance certifications should be considered for substitution?

A: The main part (MVH50VC22RMF80TP) is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. If the application or market requires RoHS compliance, any of the three substitute parts satisfy this requirement. The 50THV22M6.3X8 additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, suitable for automotive applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. EMVH500ARA220MF80G, 50THV22M6.3X8, and UCZ1H220MCS1GS are all supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the impact of doubled lifetime rating (2000 Hrs vs. 1000 Hrs) on component selection?

A: Extended lifetime rating indicates longer operational reliability at elevated temperature (125°C). Parts with 2000 Hrs lifetime (50THV22M6.3X8 and UCZ1H220MCS1GS) provide enhanced durability for applications requiring extended service life or operating in high-temperature environments. This is a performance enhancement, not a substitution requirement.
