Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the UBX1E101MPL are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance: 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 150°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 1000 Hrs @ 150°C (exact match required)

Both substitute parts listed below meet all these criteria and are manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components from the 160 RLA series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both MAL216056101E3 and MAL216066101E3 are direct substitutes for the obsolete UBX1E101MPL. Selection between the two Vishay alternatives should be based on product availability and procurement lead times, as both parts are active products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which aligns with the original part's automotive application designation. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance with the original component.

The substitute parts exhibit a slightly reduced seated height (0.531" versus 0.551"), which remains within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors. This dimensional difference does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard automotive circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAL216056101E3 and MAL216066101E3 be used interchangeably with UBX1E101MPL?

A: Yes. Both Vishay parts meet all electrical and mechanical parameters of the obsolete Nichicon component, including capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, package type, lead spacing, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between MAL216056101E3 and MAL216066101E3?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They are both from the Vishay 160 RLA series with the same capacitance, voltage, tolerance, and physical dimensions. Selection can be based on inventory availability.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are rated for automotive applications, matching the original part's intended use.

Q: Does the height difference affect PCB compatibility?

A: The substitute parts are 0.020" (0.50 mm) shorter than the original. This difference is within standard PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors and does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both MAL216056101E3 and MAL216066101E3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining regulatory compliance with the original UBX1E101MPL.
