Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the ECE-T2EP222EX is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2200 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 250 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR: 90 mOhm @ 120 Hz (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 3000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The substitute part 380LX222M250A082 from Cornell Dubilier Electronics meets all critical electrical specifications and package requirements, qualifying it as a direct equivalent for the obsolete Panasonic part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 380LX222M250A082 be used as a direct replacement for the ECE-T2EP222EX?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution, including capacitance, voltage rating, ESR, lifetime, and package type.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer and product status. The ECE-T2EP222EX is obsolete, while the 380LX222M250A082 is in active production. Minor variations exist in ripple current ratings at different frequencies and physical height, but these do not affect functional equivalence.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The substitute part includes ROHS3 compliance certification, while the original part is REACH Affected. The substitute is REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the lead spacing difference, and does it matter?

A: The ECE-T2EP222EX has a lead spacing of 0.886" (22.50 mm), while the 380LX222M250A082 has 0.394" (10.00 mm). Lead spacing must be verified against PCB design specifications to ensure mechanical fit.

Q: Are there height differences that could affect board layout?

A: Yes. The ECE-T2EP222EX has a maximum seated height of 2.480" (63.00 mm), while the 380LX222M250A082 is 3.228" (82.00 mm). Height clearance must be confirmed for the target application.

Q: What inventory status should I expect?

A: The ECE-T2EP222EX has 1010 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 380LX222M250A082 has 725 pieces in stock as new original inventory.
