Is there a pin-compatible replacement for RV101M250D060R4Z00ZZ?

No pin-compatible replacements were identified. The target is a through-hole radial capacitor, and all suitable candidates found are surface-mount (SMD) parts, which are not physically interchangeable without redesigning the PCB.

What risks should I check before replacing RV101M250D060R4Z00ZZ?

The primary risk is the package mismatch, as all alternatives are SMD and require a new PCB layout. Also, check for differences in ESR and ripple current ratings, as many alternatives have weaker performance which could affect circuit stability and reliability.

RV101M250D060R4Z00ZZ Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | Chuanghui Electronics

RV101M250D060R4Z00ZZ is a 100µF 25V through-hole aluminum polymer capacitor. Finding a direct, pin-compatible replacement is challenging, as most modern alternatives use surface-mount packages, requiring board layout changes.

AI replacement insight

Package riskhigh

Requires PCB redesign from through-hole to SMD.

Electrical riskmedium

Candidates have different ESR and ripple current ratings that must be verified for the application.

Sourcing risklow

SMD alternatives are generally more available from multiple vendors.

Can it be replaced directly?

There are no direct, pin-for-pin replacements available. All functional alternatives require a change in package from through-hole to surface-mount.

Best replacement path

Redesign the PCB to accommodate a widely available surface-mount (SMD) capacitor like MAL218297003E3.

Main risk

The package mismatch between the through-hole target and SMD candidates is the main risk, making a board redesign necessary.

Recommended alternatives

Functional alternative with matching voltage but different package and weaker electrical performance.
