Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ELXM201VSN221MP25S is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 220 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage Rating: 200 V
• Polarization: Polar
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.866" Dia × 1.063" Height (Max)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Lifetime @ 105°C: Equal or greater than 7000 hours
• Ripple Current Ratings: Equal or greater than specified values
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal or wider than -25°C ~ 105°C
• Compliance Status: RoHS and REACH compliance maintained

The substitute part LGR2D221MELZ25 meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds acceptable variation thresholds, qualifying it as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: ELXM201VSN221MP25S

Use the original Chemi-Con ELXM201VSN221MP25S when:

• Design specifications explicitly require the LXM series
• Chemi-Con supply chain is established and preferred
• Inventory availability is confirmed (773 units in stock)
• Cost optimization favors the primary source

Substitute Part: LGR2D221MELZ25

Use the Nichicon LGR2D221MELZ25 when:

• ELXM201VSN221MP25S is unavailable from primary sources
• Extended component lifetime is beneficial (10000 Hrs @ 105°C vs. 7000 Hrs)
• Wider operating temperature range is required (-40°C vs. -25°C minimum)
• Higher ripple current capacity provides design margin
• ROHS3 compliance is required over RoHS compliance
• Nichicon supply chain is established

Both parts are active products with full regulatory compliance. Physical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. PCB layout and circuit design require no modification when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGR2D221MELZ25 be used as a direct replacement for ELXM201VSN221MP25S on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical physical dimensions (0.866" diameter, 1.063" maximum height), lead spacing (0.394"), and mounting type (through-hole radial snap-in). No PCB layout modifications are required.

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

A: The substitute part (LGR2D221MELZ25) provides superior performance specifications: 10000-hour lifetime versus 7000 hours, extended low-temperature operation to -40°C versus -25°C, and higher ripple current ratings (1 A @ 120 Hz and 1.5 A @ 50 kHz versus 900 mA and 1.35 A respectively).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. ELXM201VSN221MP25S is RoHS Compliant. LGR2D221MELZ25 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: Do these parts have the same electrical specifications?

A: Electrical specifications are identical for capacitance (220 µF), tolerance (±20%), and voltage rating (200 V). The substitute part meets or exceeds all performance parameters including ripple current and operational lifetime.

Q: What is the lead spacing for both parts?

A: Both parts have 0.394" (10.00 mm) lead spacing, ensuring compatibility with existing through-hole PCB footprints.

Q: Can I use LGR2D221MELZ25 in applications requiring -25°C minimum temperature?

A: Yes. LGR2D221MELZ25 operates from -40°C to 105°C, which encompasses the -25°C to 105°C range of the original part.

Q: Are there any circuit design considerations when substituting these parts?

A: No circuit design modifications are required. Both parts are functionally equivalent for general-purpose applications. The substitute part's higher ripple current ratings and extended lifetime provide additional design margin without requiring circuit changes.
