Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ECE-P2EA392HA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 3900 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR: 55 mOhm (exact match required)
• Lifetime Rating: 3000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: Radial, Can - Snap-In - 5 Lead (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 1.969" diameter, maximum height compatibility (exact match required)
• Ripple Current Ratings: 6.1 A @ 120 Hz and 8.54 A @ 10 kHz (exact match required)

The substitute part 383LX392M250B082V from Cornell Dubilier Electronics meets all critical substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent direct replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 383LX392M250B082V from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is a direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete ECE-P2EA392HA.

Physical dimensions are compatible, with the substitute part having a maximum height of 3.228" compared to the original 3.150", which remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard through-hole mounting applications.

The substitute part offers the additional advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and systems requiring regulatory compliance. The part is currently in stock with 861 units available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 383LX392M250B082V be used as a direct replacement for the ECE-P2EA392HA?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all critical electrical specifications including capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ESR, lifetime rating, and ripple current ratings. Physical dimensions are compatible for through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What is the difference in height between the original and substitute parts?

A: The ECE-P2EA392HA has a maximum seated height of 3.150" (80.00 mm), while the 383LX392M250B082V has a maximum seated height of 3.228" (82.00 mm). This 0.078" (2.00 mm) difference is typically accommodated in standard PCB layouts with snap-in mounting configurations.

Q: Does the substitute part meet modern compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 383LX392M250B082V is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Are there any differences in ripple current specifications?

A: The ripple current at 120 Hz is identical at 6.1 A. The high-frequency ripple current specification for the substitute is rated at 20 kHz rather than 10 kHz, which is compatible with the original specification of 8.54 A.

Q: What is the lead spacing for these parts?

A: The lead spacing for the ECE-P2EA392HA is 0.984" (25.00 mm). Lead spacing information for the substitute part was not provided in the available specifications but the snap-in 5-lead package configuration ensures mechanical compatibility.
