Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SLPX682M035E1P3 be used as a direct replacement for 688LBB035M2DC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (6800 µF), voltage rating (35 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), lead spacing (10.00 mm), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The primary difference is reduced height (0.984" vs. 1.063"), which is advantageous for space-constrained designs. ESR is slightly higher (78 mOhm vs. 60.9509 mOhm), which is acceptable for general-purpose applications.

Q: What is the advantage of Nichicon LGU1V682MELB over the Cornell Dubilier 688LBB035M2DC?

A: The LGU1V682MELB extends the operating temperature range to 105°C and provides 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C, compared to 85°C for the 688LBB035M2DC. This upgrade is beneficial for applications subject to sustained elevated temperatures or requiring enhanced thermal margin.

Q: What is the advantage of Nichicon LGY1V682MELB25 over other options?

A: The LGY1V682MELB25 provides the longest component lifetime: 5000 hours at 105°C. Combined with the extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), this part is optimal for long-life applications or environments with sustained thermal stress.

Q: Are all substitute parts mechanically compatible with the original 688LBB035M2DC?

A: All substitute parts use identical lead spacing (10.00 mm) and diameter (30.00 mm). Height variations exist: SLPX682M035E1P3 is 0.984" (25.00 mm) versus 1.063" (27.00 mm) for the other parts. Verify available vertical clearance on the PCB before selecting SLPX682M035E1P3.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. All parts listed—688LBB035M2DC, SLPX682M035E1P3, LGU1V682MELB, and LGY1V682MELB25—are ROHS3 compliant.
