Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 107LBA500M2DC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 500 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 1.181" Dia (30.00 mm) and 1.063" Height (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory compatibility)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (required for regulatory compatibility)

The substitute part LGN2H101MELB25 meets all mandatory matching parameters and compliance requirements, qualifying it as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent for the 107LBA500M2DC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LGN2H101MELB25 (Nichicon) qualifies as a direct substitute for the 107LBA500M2DC (Cornell Dubilier) based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts share identical capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (500 V), and tolerance (±20%), ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts feature identical package geometry, lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00 mm), physical dimensions (1.181" diameter, 1.063" height), and through-hole mounting configuration, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout modifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for equivalent component selection.

Product Status: Both parts are active in production with confirmed inventory availability, supporting reliable procurement and supply chain continuity.

Operational Considerations: The substitute part operates across an extended temperature range (-25°C ~ 105°C versus -25°C ~ 85°C) and provides extended lifetime rating (3000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 2000 Hrs @ 85°C), offering enhanced thermal performance characteristics within the operating envelope of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LGN2H101MELB25 be used as a direct replacement for the 107LBA500M2DC on existing circuit boards?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. They share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, package type, lead spacing, and physical dimensions. No board layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two parts?

A: Both parts meet the same electrical specifications for capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (500 V), and tolerance (±20%). The substitute part (LGN2H101MELB25) has different ESR and ripple current specifications, but these are not provided for the original part in the available data, preventing direct comparison.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 107LBA500M2DC and LGN2H101MELB25 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: The 107LBA500M2DC operates from -25°C to 85°C, while the LGN2H101MELB25 operates from -25°C to 105°C. The substitute part supports an extended upper temperature limit, providing broader thermal operating capability.

Q: Are both parts available in stock?

A: Yes. The 107LBA500M2DC has 879 pieces in stock, and the LGN2H101MELB25 has 1232 pieces in stock, both listed as new original inventory.

Q: Can I use the LGN2H101MELB25 in applications requiring the full -25°C to 85°C range of the original part?

A: Yes. The substitute part's operating range (-25°C to 105°C) fully encompasses the original part's specified range (-25°C to 85°C), ensuring compatibility for all applications within the original temperature envelope.

Q: What packaging format is the substitute part supplied in?

A: The LGN2H101MELB25 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the original part packaging format is not specified in the available data.
