Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 228RSS016M

Part Overview

The Cornell Dubilier 228RSS016M is a 2200 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package configuration. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance. The part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental standards.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same voltage rating, capacitance value, and mounting configuration. Alternative sources provide extended operational lifetimes, enhanced temperature ranges, or improved ripple current handling characteristics while preserving core functional parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 228RSS016M is determined by strict adherence to the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Requirements:

• Capacitance: 2200 µF (exact match)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Lead Spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) nominal
• Operating Temperature: Minimum -40°C, maximum 85°C or higher
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required
• REACH Status: Unaffected (required)

Substitution Categories:

Upgrade Substitutes provide enhanced performance characteristics while maintaining all primary compatibility requirements:

• URS1C222MHD (Nichicon): Extended lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C vs. 1000 Hrs @ 85°C), improved ripple current handling
• URZ1C222MHD (Nichicon): Extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), elevated temperature lifetime rating (1000 Hrs @ 105°C)

Similar Substitute maintains electrical specifications with dimensional variation:

• ECA-1CM222 (Panasonic): Extended lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), different physical dimensions (0.492" Dia, 0.866" Height), reduced lead spacing (0.197" vs. 0.295")

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (Same Footprint):

URS1C222MHD and URZ1C222MHD maintain identical lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm) and compatible physical dimensions with the original 228RSS016M. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection between these two Nichicon alternatives depends on application thermal requirements:

• URS1C222MHD: Suitable for standard operating conditions within -40°C to 85°C range with doubled operational lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C)
• URZ1C222MHD: Required for applications requiring extended temperature operation (-55°C to 105°C) or elevated temperature reliability

Footprint-Modified Substitution:

ECA-1CM222 requires PCB layout modification due to reduced lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm vs. 0.295" / 7.50mm) and increased height (0.866" / 22.00mm). This part is suitable only when PCB redesign is feasible. The Panasonic component provides extended lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C) and superior high-frequency ripple current rating (1.7 A @ 10 kHz).

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can URS1C222MHD be used as a direct replacement for 228RSS016M without PCB modification?

A: Yes. URS1C222MHD maintains identical lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm), compatible can diameter (0.630" / 16.00mm), and equivalent through-hole mounting configuration. Height difference (0.650" vs. 0.630") is within typical PCB clearance tolerances for radial capacitors.

Q: What is the primary advantage of URZ1C222MHD over URS1C222MHD?

A: URZ1C222MHD extends the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 105°C and provides lifetime rating at elevated temperature (1000 Hrs @ 105°C). Selection depends on whether the application requires operation beyond the standard -40°C to 85°C range.

Q: Why does ECA-1CM222 have different lead spacing?

A: ECA-1CM222 is manufactured by Panasonic with different mechanical design specifications. Lead spacing is 0.197" (5.00mm) versus 0.295" (7.50mm) for the original part. This requires PCB layout modification and cannot be used as a direct drop-in replacement.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. URS1C222MHD, URZ1C222MHD, and ECA-1CM222 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the capacitance tolerance for all listed parts?

A: All parts, including the original 228RSS016M and all substitutes, maintain ±20% capacitance tolerance at 16 V rated voltage.

Q: Can ripple current ratings be used to select between substitute parts?

A: Ripple current ratings vary between manufacturers and measurement frequencies. URS1C222MHD provides 1.16 A @ 120 Hz, URZ1C222MHD provides 830 mA @ 120 Hz, and ECA-1CM222 provides 1 A @ 120 Hz. Selection should be based on application ripple current requirements at the specific operating frequency.

Q: What inventory availability exists for substitute parts?

A: URS1C222MHD has 2277 pcs in stock, URZ1C222MHD has 1438 pcs in stock, and ECA-1CM222 has 3886 pcs in stock. Original 228RSS016M has 795 pcs in stock.
