TVX1J331MCD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TVX1J331MCD is a 330 µF, 63 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in axial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The TVX series represents a legacy product line, and active alternatives with comparable electrical characteristics are available from other manufacturers to ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TVX1J331MCD is based on matching the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 63 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Axial, Can through-hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (minimum requirement)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification

The MAL202118331E3 from Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components satisfies all substitution criteria. Physical dimensions show minor variations within acceptable tolerances for through-hole axial mounting applications. The substitute part is currently active in production, ensuring long-term availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAL202118331E3 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TVX1J331MCD. Selection is based on:

• Electrical Equivalence: Identical capacitance, voltage rating, and tolerance specifications
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both components use axial, can through-hole packaging with compatible lead spacing for PCB mounting
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying regulatory requirements
• Supply Status: The substitute part is active in production, providing assured long-term availability compared to the obsolete original

Physical dimensions show minor variations (diameter and length differences within 0.02" and 0.08" respectively). These variations are within acceptable tolerances for through-hole axial component placement and do not affect electrical performance or PCB layout compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAL202118331E3 be used as a direct replacement for the TVX1J331MCD?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (330 µF, 63 V, ±20% tolerance) and compatible through-hole axial packaging. Physical dimensions vary slightly but remain compatible with standard PCB mounting patterns for axial capacitors.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the TVX1J331MCD and MAL202118331E3 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99. Regulatory status is equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The TVX1J331MCD is obsolete. The MAL202118331E3 is an active product from Vishay, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Do the physical dimension differences affect PCB design?

A: Minor dimension variations (0.512" vs 0.492" diameter; 1.102" vs 1.181" length) are within standard tolerances for through-hole axial component placement. PCB layouts designed for standard axial capacitor spacing accommodate both parts without modification.

Q: Are the electrical performance characteristics equivalent?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and meet the same voltage and capacitance specifications required for general-purpose applications.
