Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: SEK101M010ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics)

The SEK101M010ST is the direct upgrade path from the obsolete SH101M010ST. Both parts are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and share identical electrical specifications (100 µF, ±20%, 10 V, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C). The SEK101M010ST is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 105°C) provides additional thermal margin. Height increase from 11.00 mm to 13.00 mm requires PCB layout verification but presents no electrical incompatibility.

Secondary Recommendations (Active Status, Extended Lifetime):

EEU-FR1A101 (Panasonic) and EEU-EB1A101S (Panasonic) both offer 5000-hour lifetime ratings at 105°C, doubling the endurance of the original SH101M010ST. Both maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced reliability margins. Height dimensions (12.50 mm and 12.00 mm respectively) require PCB clearance verification.

Alternative Options (Active Status, Standard Lifetime):

EEU-FM1A101 (Panasonic) and EKZE100ELL101ME11D (Chemi-Con) provide functionally equivalent substitution with 2000-hour lifetime ratings matching the original part. Both are in active production. EEU-FM1A101 offers higher ripple current capability (280 mA @ 100 kHz) compared to the original 132 mA @ 10 kHz specification.

Obsolete Status Parts (Not Recommended for New Designs):

UHE1A101MDD (Nichicon) and UPW1A101MDD (Nichicon) are classified as obsolete. While electrically compatible, these parts should not be selected for new production designs due to discontinued status and uncertain future availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different height dimension?

A: Yes, provided the increased height does not exceed available PCB clearance. The SH101M010ST height is 11.00 mm. Substitute parts range from 11.00 mm to 13.00 mm. Verify your PCB layout accommodates the taller component before selection.

Q: What is the difference between the SEK101M010ST and other substitutes?

A: The SEK101M010ST is manufactured by the same company (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) as the original SH101M010ST, ensuring design continuity and identical electrical performance. It is the direct upgrade path. Other substitutes are from different manufacturers (Panasonic, Chemi-Con, Nichicon) and offer varying lifetime ratings and ripple current specifications, but all meet the core electrical requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original SH101M010ST.

Q: Can I use a part with a longer lifetime rating as a direct substitute?

A: Yes. Parts with equal or greater lifetime ratings (measured in hours at 105°C) are acceptable substitutes. For example, EEU-FR1A101 with 5000-hour rating exceeds the original 2000-hour specification and is fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the lead spacing specification?

A: Lead spacing (0.079" or 2.00 mm) determines PCB hole pattern compatibility. All substitute parts maintain identical lead spacing, ensuring direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modification.

Q: Should I select an active or obsolete substitute part?

A: For new production designs, select only active status parts: SEK101M010ST, EEU-FM1A101, EEU-FR1A101, EKZE100ELL101ME11D, or EEU-EB1A101S. Obsolete parts (UHE1A101MDD, UPW1A101MDD) should be used only for legacy system repairs where supply is already established.

Q: What does ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) mean for my application?

A: ESR affects ripple current handling and heat generation. The original SH101M010ST specifies 2.92 Ohm @ 120 Hz. Substitute parts with equal or lower ESR values are acceptable. Lower ESR improves performance in high-ripple-current applications.

Q: Can I substitute based on capacitance value alone?

A: No. All parameters listed in the Key Parameters section must match exactly: capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, polarization, mounting type, package type, and lead spacing. Deviation in any parameter creates incompatibility.
