Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TVX1C331MAD is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Axial, Can through-hole mounting
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum
• RoHS3 compliance status

The substitute part MAL202135331E3 meets all these criteria, providing functional equivalence for the obsolete TVX1C331MAD in applications requiring these electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAL202135331E3 serves as a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete TVX1C331MAD. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, and tolerance. The substitute part offers extended lifetime (2500 hours versus 2000 hours at 85°C) and active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. Physical dimensions differ slightly (MAL202135331E3: 6.50mm diameter × 18.00mm length versus TVX1C331MAD: 8.00mm diameter × 17.00mm length), requiring verification of board layout constraints during integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAL202135331E3 replace TVX1C331MAD in all applications?

A: Yes, provided board layout accommodates the dimensional differences. The substitute maintains identical electrical specifications across capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences?

A: TVX1C331MAD measures 8.00mm diameter × 17.00mm length. MAL202135331E3 measures 6.50mm diameter × 18.00mm length. Verify PCB hole spacing and component clearance before substitution.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both TVX1C331MAD and MAL202135331E3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Why is the ripple current specification different?

A: Ripple current ratings reflect design differences between manufacturers. The substitute part's 348 mA @ 10 kHz rating must be verified against circuit requirements. The original part specifies 480 mA @ 10 kHz.

Q: What is the advantage of the substitute part?

A: MAL202135331E3 offers active product status with extended lifetime (2500 hours at 85°C versus 2000 hours), ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity for the obsolete TVX1C331MAD.
