Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 827LBA100M2BC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 820 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Case diameter: 0.866" (22.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Height (seated max): 1.063" (27.00 mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The substitute part LLS2A821MELZ manufactured by Nichicon meets all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution in applications currently using the 827LBA100M2BC.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 827LBA100M2BC and LLS2A821MELZ are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance in industrial and commercial environments.

The LLS2A821MELZ offers an extended lifetime rating of 3000 hours at 85°C compared to the 2000-hour rating of the 827LBA100M2BC. This extended operational life may provide additional margin in applications subject to sustained thermal stress or extended service intervals.

Both parts share identical electrical specifications (820 µF, 100 V, ±20% tolerance), mechanical dimensions, and mounting characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on manufacturer availability, inventory levels, and application-specific lifetime requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LLS2A821MELZ be used as a direct replacement for the 827LBA100M2BC?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical capacitance (820 µF), voltage rating (100 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), lead spacing (10.00 mm), and physical dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the manufacturer (Cornell Dubilier vs. Nichicon) and the rated lifetime at 85°C. The LLS2A821MELZ has a 3000-hour lifetime rating compared to the 2000-hour rating of the 827LBA100M2BC. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are through-hole mounted with identical lead spacing (10.00 mm) and physical dimensions (0.866" diameter, 1.063" height). They are pin-compatible and require no circuit board modifications.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on manufacturer preference, supply chain availability, and application lifetime requirements. The LLS2A821MELZ offers extended lifetime (3000 hours at 85°C), which may be advantageous for applications requiring long service intervals or operating in elevated temperature environments.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the 827LBA100M2BC and LLS2A821MELZ are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
