Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the T520V107M010ASE045 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 10 V (exact match required)
• ESR Specification: 45 mOhm @ 100 kHz (exact match required)
• Package Footprint: 2917 (7343 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.287" L × 0.169" W × 0.075" H maximum (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Dielectric Type: Molded Tantalum Polymer (exact match required)

Substitute parts must satisfy all parameters listed above without deviation. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status and packaging configuration, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The T520V107M010ATE045 is the direct substitute for the obsolete T520V107M010ASE045. Both components are manufactured by KEMET within the same KO-CAP® T520 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The primary advantages of selecting the T520V107M010ATE045 are:

• Active Product Status: The substitute part is currently in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• RoHS3 Compliance: The substitute meets RoHS3 regulatory requirements, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to environmental compliance mandates.
• Tape & Reel Packaging: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel configuration, which is standard for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.

All electrical performance parameters, thermal characteristics, and physical dimensions remain identical between the two parts. No circuit redesign or board layout modification is required for substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the T520V107M010ATE045 be used as a direct replacement for the T520V107M010ASE045?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The T520V107M010ATE045 is the active production equivalent of the obsolete T520V107M010ASE045. No design changes are necessary.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The difference lies in product status and packaging configuration. The T520V107M010ASE045 is obsolete and supplied in standard packaging. The T520V107M010ATE045 is in active production and supplied in Tape & Reel format. Additionally, the substitute meets RoHS3 compliance, while the original does not.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2917 (7343 Metric) package with identical dimensions: 0.287" L × 0.169" W × 0.075" H maximum. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: Do the electrical specifications match exactly?

A: Yes. Capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (10 V), ESR (45 mOhm @ 100 kHz), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and lifetime rating (2000 Hours @ 105°C) are identical across both parts.

Q: Is the Tape & Reel packaging compatible with my assembly process?

A: Tape & Reel packaging is the standard format for automated surface mount assembly. If your manufacturing process uses automated pick-and-place equipment, Tape & Reel packaging is compatible. For manual assembly or reel-to-tube conversion, consult your packaging supplier.

Q: Does RoHS3 compliance affect circuit performance?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. The substitute part delivers identical electrical characteristics to the original.

Q: What is the MSL rating, and does it affect storage?

A: Both parts carry MSL 3 (168 Hours) rating. This indicates the component can be exposed to ambient conditions of 30°C / 85% RH for a maximum of 168 hours before soldering. Store components in dry conditions and follow standard moisture control procedures during assembly.
