Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key electrical specifications of the EEA-GA1C101 for power supply filtering designs?
The EEA-GA1C101 provides 100 µF capacitance rated at 16 V DC, making it suitable for output filtering in 5 V to 12 V power supplies, audio amplifier power rails, and industrial sensor supply decoupling. Its compact 8×7 mm radial body fits standard PCB through-hole layouts with 2.5 mm lead pitch.
What physical dimensions and lead spacing does the EEA-GA1C101 use, and how do they affect PCB design?
The EEA-GA1C101 has an 8 mm diameter, 7 mm height body with 2.5 mm lead spacing, which matches common PCB land patterns for radial electrolytic capacitors. This standard footprint simplifies PCB layout for consumer electronics and industrial boards and allows direct substitution with other 2.5 mm lead-pitch capacitors of the same value.
In which consumer and industrial applications is the EEA-GA1C101 a cost-effective capacitor choice?
The EEA-GA1C101 suits through-hole PCB designs in LED driver modules, audio amplifier stages, DC-DC converter outputs, and industrial sensor power rails where 100 µF at 16 V is sufficient. Its bulk packaging and Panasonic GA series reliability make it a cost-effective option for medium-volume production of general-purpose electronics.
How does the EEA-GA1C101 compare to a 25 V rated 100 µF radial capacitor for 12 V rail applications?
For a 12 V rail, a 16 V rated capacitor like EEA-GA1C101 provides only a 1.33x voltage headroom, which is below the recommended 1.5x to 2x derating factor. A 25 V rated 100 µF capacitor would offer better reliability on 12 V rails, while EEA-GA1C101 is better suited for 5 V or lower supply rails where the 16 V rating provides adequate derating.
