Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPS2C010MED1TD from Nichicon is a direct electrical equivalent to the SH010M160ST. Both components are obsolete products, indicating limited future availability through standard distribution channels.

Selection Basis:

1. Electrical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters match exactly, including capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ripple current specifications, and thermal lifetime rating.

2. Mechanical Compatibility: Both components are through-hole radial can packages. Physical dimensions differ slightly; the Nichicon part is marginally larger. PCB layout verification is required to confirm clearance compatibility.

3. Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory consistency in applications subject to environmental standards.

4. Temperature Performance: The Nichicon substitute provides an extended lower operating temperature limit (-40°C versus -25°C), offering broader environmental tolerance without compromising upper temperature performance.

5. Availability: The Nichicon UPS2C010MED1TD maintains higher inventory levels (6881 pcs) compared to the CDE original (1032 pcs), supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPS2C010MED1TD replace the SH010M160ST in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided PCB layout accommodates the slightly larger physical dimensions (0.248" diameter versus 0.197" diameter, and 0.492" height versus 0.433" height). Lead spacing differs (0.098" versus 0.079"), requiring footprint verification.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics identical?

A: All specified electrical parameters are identical: 1 µF capacitance, 160 V rating, ±20% tolerance, 17 mA ripple current at 120 Hz, 27.2 mA ripple current at 10 kHz, and 2000 hours lifetime at 105°C.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in the Nichicon part?

A: The UPS2C010MED1TD operates from -40°C to 105°C, compared to -25°C to 105°C for the original. This provides additional margin for low-temperature applications without affecting high-temperature performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the SH010M160ST and UPS2C010MED1TD are ROHS3 compliant, ensuring compatibility with environmental regulations.

Q: Why are both parts classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates these components are no longer in active production. Substitution planning is necessary for long-term supply chain management.

Q: What should be verified before implementing this substitution?

A: PCB layout compatibility must be confirmed due to dimensional differences. Lead spacing and overall package size require clearance verification against existing circuit board designs and component placement constraints.
