Equivalent & Substitute Parts for VEU331M2ATR-1816S

Part Overview

The VEU331M2ATR-1816S is a 330 µF, 100 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by SURGE in radial, can-style surface mount packaging. This component is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The part maintains Active product status with RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity. Substitute components must maintain electrical equivalence across capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, lifetime rating, and physical dimensions while meeting the same environmental and compliance standards.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the VEU331M2ATR-1816S are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical equivalence. The substitution logic is governed by the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance: 330 µF (exact match)
• Voltage Rating: 100 V (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
• Lifetime: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Size / Dimension: 0.709" Dia (18.00mm) (exact match)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.669" (17.00mm) (exact match)
• Surface Mount Land Size: 0.748" L x 0.748" W (19.00mm x 19.00mm) (exact match)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match)

The identified substitute parts meet all critical parameters and are therefore direct functional and mechanical equivalents suitable for component replacement in applications originally specified for the VEU331M2ATR-1816S.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts, EEE-FK2A331AM and EEV-FK2A331M, manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components, are direct equivalents to the VEU331M2ATR-1816S. All three components share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications.

EEE-FK2A331AM carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is rated for automotive and high-temperature reflow applications. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

EEV-FK2A331M carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is rated for automotive applications. This part is suitable for automotive-grade applications.

Both Panasonic substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). All three parts are Active products with continuous manufacturer support.

Selection between the main part and substitutes should be based on supply availability, lead time, and application-specific requirements. All three components are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEE-FK2A331AM or EEV-FK2A331M be used as direct replacements for VEU331M2ATR-1816S?

A: Yes. Both Panasonic parts are direct functional and mechanical equivalents. They match all critical electrical parameters (330 µF, 100 V, ±20% tolerance, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C), physical dimensions (18.00mm diameter, 17.00mm height, 19.00mm x 19.00mm land size), and compliance standards (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Q: Are there differences in ripple current ratings between these parts?

A: The Panasonic substitutes (EEE-FK2A331AM and EEV-FK2A331M) specify higher ripple current ratings at high frequency (917 mA @ 100 kHz) compared to the SURGE part (756 mA @ 10 kHz). This represents improved performance capability and does not restrict substitution.

Q: What is the difference between EEE-FK2A331AM and EEV-FK2A331M?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. EEE-FK2A331AM is specified for automotive and high-temperature reflow applications. EEV-FK2A331M is specified for automotive applications. Both carry AEC-Q200 qualification.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. VEU331M2ATR-1816S, EEE-FK2A331AM, and EEV-FK2A331M are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these capacitors?

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical surface mount land size (0.748" L x 0.748" W / 19.00mm x 19.00mm), diameter (0.709" / 18.00mm), and height (0.669" / 17.00mm). They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these capacitors?

A: All three parts operate across -55°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C.
