Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PCR1E101MCL4GS is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.248" Dia (6.30mm) and 0.315" Height (8.00mm) (exact match required)
• Land size: 0.260" L × 0.260" W (6.60mm × 6.60mm) (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• AEC-Q200 compliance: Required for automotive applications
• RoHS3 compliance: Required for regulatory compliance

The substitute part EEH-ZC1E101XP meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, with minor variations in ESR and ripple current specifications that remain within acceptable operational limits for this application category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EEH-ZC1E101XP from Panasonic Electronic Components is a direct substitute for the obsolete PCR1E101MCL4GS. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range. Both are AEC-Q200 qualified and ROHS3 compliant, meeting automotive and regulatory requirements.

The EEH-ZC1E101XP offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing availability, whereas the PCR1E101MCL4GS is obsolete. The ESR difference of 3 mOhm (27 mOhm vs. 30 mOhm) and ripple current difference of 0.2 A (1.6 A vs. 1.4 A) are within acceptable operational tolerances for this capacitor category and do not affect functional compatibility in standard automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EEH-ZC1E101XP be used as a direct replacement for the PCR1E101MCL4GS?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (25 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - SMD), physical dimensions (0.248" Dia × 0.315" Height), land size (0.260" L × 0.260" W), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and AEC-Q200 compliance. The components are electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and manufacturer. The PCR1E101MCL4GS (Nichicon) is obsolete, while the EEH-ZC1E101XP (Panasonic) is active. The ESR specification differs by 3 mOhm (27 mOhm vs. 30 mOhm), and the ripple current at 100 kHz differs by 0.2 A (1.6 A vs. 1.4 A). These variations do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the PCR1E101MCL4GS and EEH-ZC1E101XP are AEC-Q200 qualified and rated for automotive applications across the -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Do both parts meet regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic components.

Q: What is the difference between polymer and hybrid aluminum capacitor types?

A: The PCR1E101MCL4GS is a polymer type, while the EEH-ZC1E101XP is a hybrid type. Both are aluminum capacitors with similar electrical performance characteristics. The hybrid construction of the EEH-ZC1E101XP provides equivalent functionality for this application.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both components have identical package types, physical dimensions, and land sizes (0.260" L × 0.260" W), allowing direct PCB layout compatibility without modification.
