CapXon
A strong alternative with matching key electricals and diameter, but is physically shorter and requires datasheet review.
Finding a substitute for the HRK 50V1000uF CD288 involves matching key electrical specs and physical size. This guide reviews several alternatives, highlighting their strengths and potential risks to aid in your selection process.
Many alternatives have different diameters or lengths, preventing a drop-in fit.
ESR, ripple current, and lifetime are critical for electrolytic capacitors and must be verified from datasheets.
1000uF/50V is a common value with many potential manufacturers.
No verified direct, pin-to-pin replacement has been identified. The closest candidate, KM102M050I250A, has a different physical length and requires datasheet review for critical parameters like ESR and ripple current before it can be considered a drop-in replacement.
The CapXon KM102M050I250A is the most promising path, matching key electricals and diameter. However, it is shorter and requires datasheet verification of dynamic parameters like ESR and ripple current.
The primary risk is a mismatch in physical dimensions (package size) or unverified dynamic electrical parameters like ESR and ripple current, which can affect circuit performance and reliability.
