SH101M200ST Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SH101M200ST is a 100 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as obsolete product status. The SH series has been superseded by active production alternatives within the CDE portfolio and equivalent offerings from other manufacturers. Identifying suitable substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility with the SH101M200ST:

Category 1: Direct Voltage Class Substitutes (200 V Rating) These parts maintain the exact 200 V voltage rating and 100 µF capacitance. They are mechanically compatible with identical lead spacing (7.50 mm) and can diameter (16.00 mm). Substitutes in this category include SEK101M200ST (CDE), ESH107M200AM7AA (KEMET), and UPW2D101MHD (Nichicon). Height variations exist within acceptable PCB clearance limits.

Category 2: Elevated Voltage Class Substitutes (250 V and 400 V Ratings) These parts exceed the 200 V requirement and provide enhanced voltage margin. They maintain 100 µF capacitance, identical lead spacing, and can diameter. Voltage ratings of 250 V and 400 V are electrically compatible in applications designed for 200 V operation. Substitutes include SEK101M250ST (CDE), EEU-EB2E101 and EEU-ED2E101 (Panasonic), 400BXW100MEFR16X30 and 400KXW100MEFC16X30 (Rubycon), EKXL401ELL101ML30S and EPAG401ELL101ML30S (Chemi-Con).

Substitution Logic: All substitute parts share the following mandatory parameters with the main part:

Capacitance: 100 µF (exact match)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
Package: Radial, Can (exact match)
Lead Spacing: 0.295" / 7.50 mm (exact match)
Can Diameter: 0.630" / 16.00 mm (exact match)
Polarization: Polar (exact match)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match)

Voltage rating substitution follows the principle that higher-rated capacitors are electrically compatible in lower-voltage applications. Height variations are acceptable provided they do not exceed available PCB clearance in the target application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: SEK101M200ST (CDE) The SEK101M200ST is the direct active-production successor to the SH101M200ST within the same manufacturer portfolio. It maintains identical electrical specifications (100 µF, 200 V, ±20%, 1.99 Ω ESR, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical compatibility (lead spacing 7.50 mm, can diameter 16.00 mm). The SEK series offers an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 105°C) and improved height profile (0.984" versus 1.260"), reducing PCB clearance requirements. Product status is Active with 1119 units in stock. RoHS3 compliance is maintained.

Secondary Recommendation: ESH107M200AM7AA (KEMET) The ESH107M200AM7AA provides equivalent electrical performance at 100 µF, 200 V with 2000 Hrs lifetime @ 105°C. KEMET is an established manufacturer with high inventory availability (15223 units). Height is 1.063", offering moderate PCB clearance advantage. Operating temperature range matches the original part (-25°C to 105°C). RoHS3 compliant. This option is suitable when CDE supply is constrained.

Elevated Voltage Alternatives (250 V and 400 V Classes) For applications permitting higher voltage ratings, SEK101M250ST (CDE), EEU-EB2E101 or EEU-ED2E101 (Panasonic), 400BXW100MEFR16X30 (Rubycon), EKXL401ELL101ML30S or EPAG401ELL101ML30S (Chemi-Con) provide enhanced voltage margin and extended lifetime specifications. The 400 V class parts (Rubycon BXW series, Chemi-Con KXL series) offer 12000 Hrs lifetime, significantly exceeding the 2000 Hrs baseline. These are appropriate for designs with voltage headroom and extended service life requirements.

Obsolete Status Consideration: UPW2D101MHD (Nichicon) is also classified as obsolete and should not be selected for new designs despite adequate electrical specifications. Prioritize active-status parts to ensure long-term supply continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I substitute a 250 V or 400 V rated capacitor in place of the 200 V SH101M200ST?

A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are electrically compatible in applications designed for lower voltage operation. A 250 V or 400 V capacitor will function correctly in a 200 V circuit. This substitution provides additional voltage margin and is a standard engineering practice. All mechanical parameters (lead spacing, can diameter, polarization) must remain identical.

Q2: What is the significance of the height difference between substitute parts?

A: Height variations affect PCB clearance and component density. The SH101M200ST has a maximum seated height of 1.260" (32.00 mm). The SEK101M200ST is shorter at 0.984" (25.00 mm), reducing clearance requirements. Conversely, EEU-EB2E101 is taller at 1.319" (33.50 mm). Verify available PCB clearance before selecting a substitute with different height specifications.

Q3: Why do some substitute parts have different ESR values or no ESR specification listed?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is a performance parameter that varies by manufacturer design and series. The SH101M200ST specifies 1.99 Ω @ 120 Hz. Substitute parts from different manufacturers may not publish identical ESR values in standard datasheets. If ESR is critical to circuit performance (e.g., in power supply filtering), consult detailed manufacturer datasheets or request ESR specifications from suppliers before final selection.

Q4: What does "Product Status: Obsolete" mean for the SH101M200ST?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. Existing inventory may be available from distributors, but long-term supply cannot be guaranteed. For new designs or production runs, select parts with Active product status (SEK101M200ST, ESH107M200AM7AA, etc.) to ensure reliable component sourcing throughout the product lifecycle.

Q5: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference are RoHS3 compliant, matching the regulatory status of the original SH101M200ST. This ensures compatibility with RoHS-regulated markets and procurement requirements.

Q6: Can I use a substitute part with a longer lifetime specification (e.g., 12000 Hrs instead of 2000 Hrs)?

A: Yes. Extended lifetime specifications indicate improved reliability and longer operational life under rated conditions. Parts such as 400BXW100MEFR16X30 (12000 Hrs) and EKXL401ELL101ML30S (12000 Hrs) are direct upgrades in terms of longevity. This substitution is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced reliability or extended service intervals.

Q7: What is the difference between the CDE SEK101M200ST and SEK101M250ST?

A: Both are active CDE products with identical capacitance (100 µF) and tolerance (±20%). The primary difference is voltage rating: SEK101M200ST is rated 200 V, while SEK101M250ST is rated 250 V. The 250 V version provides higher voltage margin and is suitable if circuit design permits. Both maintain identical lead spacing (7.50 mm) and can diameter (16.00 mm). Height is identical at 1.260" (32.00 mm) for the 250 V version.

Q8: Which substitute should I select for maximum inventory availability?

A: ESH107M200AM7AA (KEMET) has the highest inventory level at 15223 units. If immediate availability is critical, this part offers the best supply position while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility with the SH101M200ST.

Q9: Are there any temperature range limitations I should consider when substituting?

A: The SH101M200ST operates from -25°C to 105°C. Most substitutes maintain this range or extend it to -40°C to 105°C (SEK101M200ST, SEK101M250ST, 400BXW100MEFR16X30, EKXL401ELL101ML30S, EPAG401ELL101ML30S). Extended low-temperature range (-40°C) is beneficial for applications in harsh environments. Verify your application's temperature requirements before final selection.

Q10: What does "Last Time Buy" status mean for the 400KXW100MEFC16X30?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates the manufacturer has announced end-of-life for this product. Existing inventory is available for purchase, but production will cease. This part should be avoided for new designs. Select Active-status alternatives such as 400BXW100MEFR16X30 or EKXL401ELL101ML30S instead.
