PSU13035A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PSU13035A is a 130 µF, 250 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the PSU series. This radial, can-style component with QC terminals is designed for motor start applications and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 65°C. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative stock sources.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PSU13035A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 130 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: 0%, +20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Bi-Polar (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 65°C (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Radial, Can - QC Terminals (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The PSU13035 qualifies as a direct substitute for PSU13035A based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. Both parts share the same capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, polarization, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications. The primary difference is the seated height dimension: PSU13035A measures 3.435" (87.25 mm) while PSU13035 measures 4.375" (111.13 mm). This dimensional variation must be evaluated against available mounting space in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both PSU13035A and PSU13035 are active production parts from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical electrical and functional specifications. Selection between these two parts is determined solely by physical space constraints within the target application.

PSU13035A is the preferred selection when mounting space is limited to a maximum height of 3.435" (87.25 mm).

PSU13035 is the appropriate selection when the application accommodates a maximum height of 4.375" (111.13 mm) or when PSU13035A inventory is unavailable.

Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance in all applicable markets. The identical electrical characteristics, tolerance specifications, and operating temperature ranges guarantee functional interchangeability within the motor start application category, provided the physical height dimension is compatible with the circuit board layout and enclosure design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PSU13035 be used as a direct replacement for PSU13035A?

A: PSU13035 is electrically and functionally equivalent to PSU13035A. Both parts share identical capacitance (130 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (0%, +20%), polarization (Bi-Polar), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 65°C), package configuration (Radial, Can - QC Terminals), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). The only difference is the seated height: PSU13035A is 3.435" (87.25 mm) while PSU13035 is 4.375" (111.13 mm). Substitution is valid only if the application accommodates the taller dimension.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between PSU13035A and PSU13035?

A: The height difference of 0.94" (23.88 mm) is a physical dimension that affects circuit board layout and enclosure fit. PSU13035A is the shorter variant at 3.435" (87.25 mm), while PSU13035 is the taller variant at 4.375" (111.13 mm). Both maintain the same 1.813" (46.05 mm) diameter. The selection between these parts depends entirely on available vertical space in the target application.

Q: Are both parts suitable for motor start applications?

A: Yes. Both PSU13035A and PSU13035 are specified for motor start applications and share identical electrical parameters required for this function.

Q: Do both parts meet regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both PSU13035A and PSU13035 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for these parts?

A: Both parts carry a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Electrical interchangeability is confirmed. Mechanical interchangeability depends on the physical space available for the component height. If the original design uses PSU13035A (3.435" height), PSU13035 (4.375" height) can be substituted only if the additional 0.94" height does not conflict with circuit board layout or enclosure constraints.
