Upgraded functional alternative with higher voltage and longer life, but requires board redesign (Through-Hole vs. SMD).
UD2C100M0810 is a 10µF 160V surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor. While no direct pin-compatible replacements are available, several through-hole functional alternatives exist that require board layout changes.
All candidates are Through-Hole while the target is Surface Mount, requiring board redesign or manual rework.
Candidates have matching capacitance and equal or higher voltage ratings, which is generally safe.
No direct, pin-compatible replacement has been identified. All current candidates have a different package mounting style (Through-Hole vs. Surface Mount).
Search for a 10µF, >=160V SMD aluminum capacitor in a compatible 8mm diameter package.
The primary risk is the package mismatch. All candidates are through-hole parts and cannot be directly substituted onto a PCB designed for the surface-mount target.
