Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LGR2D331MELZ30 (Nichicon) is a direct substitute for the ELXM201VSN331MP30S (Chemi-Con) based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are active products with current manufacturing status and full regulatory compliance.

Compliance Alignment:

Both parts are RoHS compliant (ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard)
Both parts maintain REACH unaffected status
Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.22.0040) classifications

Performance Characteristics: The substitute part demonstrates equivalent or superior performance in all measured parameters. The LGR2D331MELZ30 provides extended thermal lifetime (10000 hours versus 7000 hours at 105°C) and an expanded operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 105°C), while maintaining identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions.

Inventory Availability: Both parts are available in production quantities. The ELXM201VSN331MP30S has 660 pieces in stock; the LGR2D331MELZ30 has 853 pieces in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LGR2D331MELZ30 be used as a direct replacement for the ELXM201VSN331MP30S in existing designs?

A: Yes. The LGR2D331MELZ30 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), lead spacing (10.00 mm), diameter (22.00 mm), and height (32.00 mm). No circuit modifications or PCB layout changes are required.

Q: Are there any differences in thermal performance between these parts?

A: The LGR2D331MELZ30 provides extended thermal lifetime at 105°C (10000 hours versus 7000 hours). The substitute part also supports a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 105°C). These represent performance enhancements rather than limitations.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The ROHS3 designation on the substitute part represents an updated compliance standard and does not indicate incompatibility.

Q: Are the ripple current ratings equivalent?

A: The ripple current ratings are functionally equivalent. The LGR2D331MELZ30 provides slightly higher ripple current capacity at both 120 Hz (1.2 A versus 1.16 A) and 50 kHz (1.8 A versus 1.74 A), representing a minor performance advantage.

Q: What is the lead spacing and how does it affect PCB compatibility?

A: Both parts have identical lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00 mm). This dimension determines the distance between through-hole pads on the PCB. No PCB modifications are necessary when substituting between these parts.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both the ELXM201VSN331MP30S and LGR2D331MELZ30 are active products with current manufacturing status and available inventory.
