UCD1J100MCL1GS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UCD1J100MCL1GS is a 10 µF, 63 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in surface mount radial can package. This component is rated for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 certification and operates across -55°C to 105°C with a 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The part is active and in production. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the same application category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UCD1J100MCL1GS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 63 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ 105°C: 2000 Hrs (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.248" Dia (6.30mm), Height 0.240" (6.10mm) (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• AEC-Q200 Certification: Required for automotive applications
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in ESR specifications, ripple current ratings at specific frequencies, and MSL classifications do not disqualify substitution when core electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the UCD1J100MCL1GS based on provided specifications. Selection among these alternatives should be based on:

Compliance and Certifications: All parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification and ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for automotive applications.

Product Status: All parts are active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Manufacturer Availability: The Panasonic EEE-FK1J100L and EEE-FN1J100L series offer higher inventory levels (6259 and 2977 units respectively) compared to the original Nichicon part (754 units). The Cornell Dubilier AFK106M63D16T-F offers the highest inventory availability at 7075 units.

Halogen-Free Designation: The Panasonic EEE-FK1J100L and EEE-FN1J100L are explicitly marked as halogen-free, which may be required for specific environmental or customer specifications.

Surface Mount Land Size Variation: The Cornell Dubilier AFK106M63D16T-F specifies a surface mount land size of 0.260" L x 0.307" W (6.60mm x 7.80mm), which differs from the standard 0.260" L x 0.260" W (6.60mm x 6.60mm) used by all other parts. This variation requires PCB layout verification before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-FK1J100L be used as a direct replacement for UCD1J100MCL1GS?

A: Yes. The EEE-FK1J100L meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the UCD1J100MCL1GS, including capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, operating temperature range, lifetime rating, package type, physical dimensions, and AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: What is the difference between EEE-FK1J100L and EEE-FN1J100L?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, temperature range, and lifetime specifications. The EEE-FN1J100L is designated as halogen-free and specifies ESR at 100 kHz (1.5 Ohm @ 100kHz), while the EEE-FK1J100L does not provide ESR specification. Ripple current at 120 Hz differs slightly: EEE-FK1J100L at 60 mA versus EEE-FN1J100L at 52 mA.

Q: Is the AFK106M63D16T-F compatible with the same PCB layout as the UCD1J100MCL1GS?

A: The AFK106M63D16T-F has identical physical dimensions and mounting type. However, the surface mount land size is 0.260" L x 0.307" W (6.60mm x 7.80mm) compared to the standard 0.260" L x 0.260" W (6.60mm x 6.60mm). PCB layout verification is required before substitution to confirm pad compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 certification?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts—AFK106M63D16T-F, EEE-FK1J100L, EEE-FK1J100P, and EEE-FN1J100L—carry AEC-Q200 certification for automotive applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the halogen-free designation on Panasonic parts?

A: Halogen-free designation indicates the absence of halogens (chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine, astatine) in the component materials. This may be required by specific customer specifications, environmental regulations, or manufacturing standards. The halogen-free variants (EEE-FK1J100L and EEE-FN1J100L) are suitable for applications with such requirements.

Q: Can EEE-FK1J100P be used instead of EEE-FK1J100L?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is inventory availability: EEE-FK1J100P has 822 units in stock compared to 6259 units for EEE-FK1J100L.
