Rubycon uses multiple MPN formats depending on the series:
Format 1: Letter-prefix series (ZLH, YXF, MCZ)

| | | | +-- Tolerance (M=20%)
| | | +-- 3-digit capacitance code
| | +-- Optional suffix (B, etc.)
| +-- Voltage in V
+-- Series code (ZLH, YXF, YXG, MCZ, etc.)
Format 2: Voltage-prefix series (PK, PL)
[VOLTAGE][SERIES][CAP][TOL][SUFFIX][PACKAGE]
| | | | | |
| | | | | +-- Dimensions (10X20)
| | | | +-- Suffix (EFC, etc.)
| | | +-- Tolerance (M=20%)
| | +-- Capacitance value (direct or code)
| +-- Series (PK, PL)
+-- Voltage in V

| | | | | |
| | | | | +-- Package: 8x12mm
| | | | +-- M = +/-20% tolerance

16PK1000MEFC10X20
| | | | |
| | | | +-- Package: 10x20mm
| | | +-- EFC suffix
| | +-- M = +/-20% tolerance
| +-- PK = Small Size series
| 1000 = 1000uF (direct value)
+-- 16V
MCZ1V471MNN08F12
| | | | |
| | | | +-- Package: 8x12mm (F separator)
| | | +-- MNN suffix
| | +-- 471 = 470uF (47 x 10^1)

Voltage Codes
Standard Format (letter-prefix series)
Voltage appears directly after series code: ZLH35VB = 35V
EIA Voltage Codes (MCZ, MBZ series)
| Code | Voltage | Code | Voltage | |------|---------|------|---------| | 0E | 2.5V | 1H | 50V | | 0G | 4V | 1J | 63V | | 0J | 6.3V | 2A | 100V | | 1A | 10V | 2C | 160V | | 1C | 16V | 2D | 200V | | 1E | 25V | 2E | 250V | | 1V | 35V | 2G | 400V | | | | 2W | 450V |
Prefix Format (PK, PL series)
Voltage is the number prefix: 16PK = 16V, 25PL = 25V
Capacitance Codes
Uses standard EIA 3-digit code followed by tolerance letter:
| Code | Value | Calculation | |------|-------|-------------| | 100M | 10uF | 10 x 10^0, +/-20% | | 101M | 100uF | 10 x 10^1, +/-20% | | 221M | 220uF | 22 x 10^1, +/-20% | | 471M | 470uF | 47 x 10^1, +/-20% | | 102M | 1000uF | 10 x 10^2, +/-20% |
Tolerance Codes
| Code | Tolerance | |------|-----------| | M | +/-20% | | K | +/-10% | | J | +/-5% |
Package Codes
Rubycon uses dimension notation: DDxHH or DDXHH format.
| Notation | Dimensions | |----------|------------| | 05X11 | 5x11mm | | 06X07 | 6x7mm | | 08X12 | 8x12mm | | 10X16 | 10x16mm | | 10X20 | 10x20mm | | 12X20 | 12x20mm |
Some polymer series use F separator: 08F12 = 8x12mm
Handler Implementation Notes
Pattern Recognition
// ZLH/ZL series - voltage follows series code
"^ZLH[0-9]+.*" // ZLH35VB...
"^ZL[0-9]+.*" // ZL25V... (not ZLH)
// YX- series - letter after YX indicates type
"^YX[FG][0-9]+.*" // YXF, YXG
"^YX[AHJL][0-9]+.*" // YXA, YXH, YXJ, YXL
// MCZ/MBZ series - voltage code after series
"^MCZ[0-9][A-Z].*" // MCZ1V...
"^MBZ[0-9][A-Z].*" // MBZ0J...
// PK/PL series - voltage prefix
"^[0-9]+P[KL][0-9]+.*" // 16PK1000...
// US- series - ultra small SMD
"^US[RTP][0-9]+.*" // USR, UST, USP
Voltage Extraction
// ZLH/YX series: extract digits between series and V
// ZLH35VB -> 35V
Pattern.compile("^(?:ZLH|ZL|YX[FGAHJL])([0-9]+)V");
// MCZ/MBZ series: decode voltage code
// MCZ1V -> 35V (1V code)
Pattern.compile("^(?:MCZ|MBZ)([0-9])([A-Z])");
// PK/PL series: extract prefix voltage
// 16PK -> 16V
Pattern.compile("^([0-9]+)P[KL]");
Package Extraction
// Dimension pattern at end of MPN
// 08X12 or 08F12 format
Pattern.compile("([0-9]{2})X([0-9]{2})$");
Pattern.compile("([0-9]{2})F([0-9]{2})$");
Replacement Rules
The handler supports these replacement scenarios:
- YXG can replace YXF: Wide temp can replace standard temp (same specs)
- PL can replace PK: Long life can replace standard (same specs)
- ZLH can replace ZL: Low impedance ZLH is higher grade than ZL
All replacements require matching voltage, capacitance, and package.

Learnings & Edge Cases
- Voltage format varies by series: ZLH/YX use direct voltage (35V), MCZ uses code (1V=35V), PK uses prefix (16PK)
- Series detection order: Check ZLH before ZL (ZLH starts with ZL)
- Package separator: Most use X (08X12), polymer may use F (08F12)
- PK/PL direct values: May use direct uF value (1000) instead of code (102)
- YX series differentiation: Single letter after YX determines series (F, G, A, H, J, L)
