Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage and capacitance ratings does the EEA-GA1C101B carry, and what body size does it occupy?
The EEA-GA1C101B is rated at 16 V working voltage with a 100 µF capacitance value. It measures 8 mm in diameter and 7 mm in height with a 5.0 mm lead pitch, placing it in a standard radial package that fits widely used PCB footprints for automated radial-lead insertion equipment in consumer electronics and power supply manufacturing.
How does the EEA-GA1C101B perform as an output filter capacitor in a 12 V to 5 V buck converter?
At 100 µF and 16 V rating, the EEA-GA1C101B provides adequate bulk capacitance for the output filter of a 5 V buck converter switching at 100 kHz or higher. Its ESR in the range of 0.3 Ω to 0.6 Ω at 100 kHz limits ripple voltage to below 30 mV at typical load currents of 500 mA, making it suitable for digital logic supply filtering where ≤50 mV ripple is acceptable.
Why does the ammo crimp tape packaging of EEA-GA1C101B matter for PCB production efficiency?
Ammo crimp tape format positions each 100 µF radial capacitor at a fixed 5.0 mm lead spacing with consistent orientation, enabling automated radial lead insertion (ALI) machines to place the components at speeds exceeding 10,000 parts per hour. This eliminates manual placement, reduces placement error rates, and lowers labor cost in high-volume production runs of power supply boards and LED driver PCBs compared to loose bulk packaging.
Is the EEA-GA1C101B rated for operation up to 105°C, and does that affect its service life in industrial power supplies?
Yes. The Panasonic GA series, which includes the EEA-GA1C101B, is rated for a maximum ambient temperature of 105°C with a standard endurance rating of 2,000 hours at rated voltage and temperature. When derated to 85°C operating conditions, service life extends significantly—often exceeding 10,000 hours—making it suitable for industrial power supplies, LED lighting drivers, and motor control boards where long-term reliability at elevated temperatures is required.
