The substitute part B41231B8228M000 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Physical dimensions show minor variation within acceptable mechanical tolerances for snap-in mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 228LBA063M2CC and B41231B8228M000 are Active status products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements:

• 228LBA063M2CC (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor LBA series): 948 units in stock. Specified ESR of 226.07 mOhm @ 120 Hz and ripple current of 2.3 A @ 120 Hz.

• B41231B8228M000 (EPCOS - TDK B41231 series): 1312 units in stock. Ripple current specification of 2.58 A @ 120 Hz exceeds the main part rating, providing additional margin in high-ripple applications.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for general-purpose aluminum electrolytic capacitor applications with 2200 µF capacitance at 63 V rated voltage. Physical dimension variation (0.016" diameter difference) remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for snap-in mounting on standard PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B41231B8228M000 directly replace 228LBA063M2CC in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (2200 µF), voltage rating (63 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00mm), and mounting configuration (Through Hole). The 0.016" diameter difference (25.00mm vs. 25.40mm) is within mechanical tolerance for snap-in applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by exact matching of: capacitance value, rated voltage, tolerance, lifetime rating at temperature, operating temperature range, polarization type, package style, mounting type, lead spacing, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH, ECCN, HTSUS).

Q: Does the higher ripple current rating of B41231B8228M000 affect compatibility?

A: No. The B41231B8228M000 ripple current specification (2.58 A @ 120 Hz) exceeds the 228LBA063M2CC specification (2.3 A @ 120 Hz). This provides additional performance margin and does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the lower rating.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and share the same HTSUS code (8532.22.0040).

Q: What is the significance of the ESR specification?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) affects ripple current handling and thermal performance. The 228LBA063M2CC specifies 226.07 mOhm @ 120 Hz. The B41231B8228M000 does not provide ESR data in available specifications but demonstrates higher ripple current capability, indicating comparable or superior ESR performance.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-ripple current applications?

A: Both parts are rated for 2000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime. The B41231B8228M000 ripple current rating (2.58 A @ 120 Hz) provides additional margin above the 228LBA063M2CC specification (2.3 A @ 120 Hz), making it suitable for applications approaching ripple current limits.
