Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 227KXM035MLN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance: 220 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 35 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C to 105°C (minimum range requirement)
• Lifetime: 4000 hours at 105°C or greater

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the 227KXM035MLN in through-hole PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAL215050221E3 be used as a direct replacement for 227KXM035MLN?

A: Yes. The MAL215050221E3 meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, operating temperature range, lead spacing, and package type are identical. The height difference of 0.020" (0.50 mm) is within standard PCB layout tolerances for radial through-hole components.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: All three substitutes are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 227KXM035MLN. The primary differences are: MAL215050221E3 maintains the 4000-hour lifetime specification; B41858C7227M000 and ELXZ350ELL221MJC5S both offer extended 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C. Height specifications vary slightly: MAL215050221E3 and B41858C7227M000 are 0.531" (13.50 mm); ELXZ350ELL221MJC5S matches the original at 0.551" (14.00 mm).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the compliance status of the 227KXM035MLN.

Q: Can these substitutes be used in automotive applications?

A: MAL215050221E3, B41858C7227M000, and ELXZ350ELL221MJC5S all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification or are designated for automotive applications. The original 227KXM035MLN is specified for general purpose applications. Automotive-qualified substitutes may be used in automotive designs.

Q: What is the impact of height differences on PCB layout?

A: Height variations of 0.020" (0.50 mm) between substitute parts are within standard tolerances for through-hole component placement. PCB designs accommodating the original 0.551" (14.00 mm) height specification will accept all substitutes. Designs with height constraints should verify clearance with the specific substitute part selected.

Q: Are the impedance and ESR specifications critical for substitution?

A: Impedance and ESR values are provided for reference but are not substitution-limiting parameters. All parts meet the core electrical requirements of 220 µF capacitance at 35 V with ±20% tolerance across the -55°C to 105°C operating range.
