Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE1162-E3 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 100 µF (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (identical)
• Tolerance: -10%, +75% (identical)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (identical)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C (identical)
• Package / Case: Axial, Can (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.354" Dia x 0.807" L / 9.00mm x 20.50mm (identical)
• Polarization: Polar (identical)

The TE1162-E3 represents an upgraded variant with improved RoHS compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant on the original TE1162).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE1162 and TE1162-E3 are functionally equivalent for circuit applications requiring 100 µF at 16 V with axial through-hole mounting. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements:

• TE1162: Suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. Current inventory availability is higher at 1366 units.
• TE1162-E3: Required for designs subject to ROHS3 compliance standards. This variant meets modern regulatory requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Both parts are active products from Vishay Sprague with identical performance characteristics, temperature ratings, and physical form factors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE1162-E3 replace TE1162 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The TE1162-E3 is a direct substitute with identical capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (-10%, +75%), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and physical dimensions (0.354" Dia x 0.807" L). No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between TE1162 and TE1162-E3?

A: The TE1162-E3 is ROHS3 compliant, while the TE1162 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.354" diameter by 0.807" length (9.00mm x 20.50mm) and use the same axial, can package configuration for through-hole mounting.

Q: Do both parts have the same lifetime rating?

A: Yes. Both TE1162 and TE1162-E3 are rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs subject to RoHS or ROHS3 compliance requirements, specify TE1162-E3. For applications without compliance mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.
