SH102M016ST Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SH102M016ST is a 1000 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as Obsolete and no longer in active production. The SH series represents general-purpose applications with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C and an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 240 mOhm at 120 Hz.

Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for ongoing system support, redesigns, and new production requirements. The substitute parts listed maintain the core electrical specifications while offering improved reliability characteristics, extended operational lifetimes, and compliance with current industry standards.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SH102M016ST is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Capacitance: 1000 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00 mm) (exact match required)

Compatible Parameter Ranges:

Operating Temperature: Must encompass or equal -40°C ~ 105°C minimum
Height - Seated (Max): Mechanical fit tolerance allows variation within PCB layout constraints
Lifetime @ 105°C: Substitute parts may exceed the original 2000-hour specification

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace SH102M016ST with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the SH102M016ST. They share identical capacitance (1000 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), mounting type (through-hole), package style (radial, can), lead spacing (5.00 mm), and diameter (10.00 mm). Physical height variations require PCB layout verification to ensure clearance.

Q: What is the difference between "Upgrade" and "Similar" substitute classifications?

A: "Upgrade" substitutes offer improved performance characteristics such as extended operational lifetime, lower ESR, or higher ripple current capacity while maintaining identical core electrical specifications. "Similar" substitutes maintain equivalent performance to the original part. Both classifications indicate full compatibility.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have different heights?

A: Height variation reflects different internal construction designs among manufacturers. The original SH102M016ST is 0.787" (20.00 mm) tall. Substitute parts range from 0.669" (17.00 mm) to 0.866" (22.00 mm). Verify PCB layout clearance before selection, particularly for applications with height-constrained mounting areas.

Q: Which substitute part offers the longest operational lifetime?

A: The EEU-EB1C102 (Panasonic) provides the longest rated lifetime at 10000 hours at 105°C, compared to the original SH102M016ST specification of 2000 hours. This represents a five-fold improvement in operational reliability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the original SH102M016ST compliance status. All parts are also HTSUS classified as 8532.22.0020 and carry EAR99 ECCN designation.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" product status?

A: Parts designated as "Not For New Designs" (UHE1C102MPD and UPW1C102MPD) remain available for existing system maintenance and field replacements but are not recommended for new product development. These parts are suitable for legacy system support where compatibility with existing designs is required.

Q: Can I use EEU-FC1C102S in automotive applications?

A: Yes, EEU-FC1C102S is specifically qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is recommended for automotive applications. It maintains the original 0.787" (20.00 mm) height and offers extended -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between ripple current at 120 Hz and 100 kHz?

A: Ripple current specifications at different frequencies reflect the capacitor's performance under different operating conditions. Low-frequency ripple current (120 Hz) is relevant for power supply filtering applications. High-frequency ripple current (100 kHz) is relevant for switching power supplies and high-frequency circuits. The original SH102M016ST specifies 700 mA @ 120 Hz and 840 mA @ 10 kHz.

Q: Which substitute part has the lowest ESR?

A: EKZE160ELL102MJ20S (Chemi-Con) specifies an impedance of 23 mOhms, the lowest among listed substitutes. Lower ESR improves transient response and reduces heat generation in high-ripple-current applications.

Q: Is REACH compliance important for my application?

A: REACH compliance status indicates regulatory compliance with European chemical safety regulations. EEU-EB1C102, EEU-FC1C102S, EKZE160ELL102MJ20S, UPW1C102MPD, and ECA-1CHG102B are REACH Unaffected. UHE1C102MPD is REACH Affected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for your end application and target markets.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with higher ripple current rating in a lower-ripple application?

A: Yes, substitute parts with higher ripple current ratings are fully compatible with applications requiring lower ripple current. Higher ripple current capability indicates improved performance margin and thermal stability. No derating or adjustment is required.
