TE1213 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE1213 is a 200 µF, 25 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in axial configuration, manufactured by Vishay Sprague. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C. The part maintains active product status and is available in bulk packaging with substantial inventory levels. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and mounting characteristics to ensure direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TE1213 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 200 µF (exact match required)
• Rated Voltage: 25 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance Range: -10%, +75% (exact match required)
• Thermal Characteristics: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Axial, Can (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.354" Dia x 1.496" L / 9.00mm x 38.00mm (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The TE1213-E3 meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent part, differing only in RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both TE1213 and TE1213-E3 are functionally equivalent aluminum electrolytic capacitors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

• TE1213: Select for applications where RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable or required by design specifications.
• TE1213-E3: Select for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or where regulatory standards mandate lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Both parts maintain active product status with adequate inventory availability. The choice between them does not affect circuit performance, thermal characteristics, or mechanical fit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE1213-E3 be used as a direct replacement for TE1213?

A: Yes. The TE1213-E3 is a direct functional equivalent with identical capacitance (200 µF), voltage rating (25 V), tolerance (-10%, +75%), thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), physical dimensions (0.354" Dia x 1.496" L), and mounting configuration (through-hole axial). The only difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution requires exact matching of capacitance value, rated voltage, tolerance, thermal characteristics, operating temperature range, package type, physical dimensions, and mounting method. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part as a direct substitute.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material composition but does not alter the electrical or thermal performance characteristics of the capacitor.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between TE1213 and TE1213-E3?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.354" diameter by 1.496" length (9.00mm x 38.00mm), ensuring identical PCB footprint and mounting compatibility.

Q: What applications are these capacitors suitable for?

A: Both TE1213 and TE1213-E3 are rated for general-purpose applications. Specific application suitability must be determined by circuit design requirements and operating conditions.
