227CKH100M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 227CKH100M is a 220 µF, 100 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor in the CKH series. This radial, through-hole component is rated for general-purpose applications with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and a lifetime specification of 2000 hours at 105°C. The part is currently active and ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original component becomes unavailable, when design requirements demand extended operational lifetime, when automotive-grade certifications are required, or when enhanced temperature performance is needed for specific applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 227CKH100M is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Core Electrical Parameters:

Capacitance: 220 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 100 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Core Mechanical Parameters:

Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) (exact match required)
Case Diameter: 0.630" (16.00mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

Parts that match all core electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Secondary parameters such as ESR, impedance, ripple current ratings, lifetime specifications, and operating temperature ranges may vary between substitutes and do not disqualify a part from substitution eligibility, provided all core parameters align.

Not For New Designs Substitutes (Legacy Applications Only):

The following parts carry "Not For New Designs" status and should be used only for replacement in existing systems:

100YXF220MEFC16X25 (Rubycon): Extended lifetime of 10000 hours at 105°C but marked as not suitable for new designs.
UPJ2A221MHD6 (Nichicon): 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C but marked as not suitable for new designs.
UPM2A221MHD6 (Nichicon): 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C with AEC-Q200 automotive rating but marked as not suitable for new designs.

Excluded Substitute:

UCS2C221MHD (Nichicon): This part does not qualify as a substitute because it has a voltage rating of 160 V, which exceeds the 100 V requirement of the 227CKH100M. While all other parameters match, the higher voltage rating makes this an upgrade rather than an equivalent substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different voltage rating?

A: No. The voltage rating must match exactly at 100 V. Parts with higher voltage ratings (such as 160 V) are not equivalent substitutes, even if all other parameters align. Using a higher-rated part changes the electrical characteristics and circuit behavior.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status?

A: Parts marked "Not For New Designs" are still functional and can be used as direct replacements in existing equipment or legacy systems. However, for new circuit designs, Active status parts are preferred to ensure long-term component availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: All substitute parts share the same lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm) and case diameter (0.630" / 16.00mm). However, height varies slightly between parts. The 227CKH100M has a maximum seated height of 1.043" (26.50mm), while some substitutes measure 1.063" (27.00mm). Verify PCB layout clearance before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between ESR and impedance specifications?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and impedance are related but distinct parameters. ESR is typically measured at a specific frequency (such as 120 Hz or 10 kHz), while impedance represents the total opposition to current flow at a given frequency. Both parameters affect capacitor performance in filtering and ripple current applications. Substitutes may have different ESR and impedance values; verify these specifications against circuit requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed in this reference are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the 227CKH100M.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime?

A: The Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components parts (MAL213639221E3, MAL213659221E3, and MAL213669221E3) and the Rubycon part (100YXF220MEFC16X25) all offer 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C, compared to the 2000-hour lifetime of the original 227CKH100M.

Q: Can I use a substitute with an extended operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Substitutes with expanded operating temperature ranges (such as -55°C to 105°C or -55°C to 135°C) are fully compatible with the 227CKH100M in applications requiring only the original -40°C to 105°C range. The extended range provides additional design flexibility without compromising performance in standard temperature environments.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 rating indicate?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification that certifies component reliability for automotive applications. Parts carrying this rating (ELXV101ELL221ML25S and UPM2A221MHD6) have undergone rigorous testing for automotive environments and are suitable for vehicle electronics.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for substitution?

A: The 227CKH100M is supplied in Bulk packaging. Most substitutes are also Bulk packaged, with the exception of MAL213639221E3, which is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) packaging. Packaging affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
