Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LGG2C222MELB45 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 2200 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 160 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)

Substitute parts may vary in the following parameters without affecting functional compatibility:

• Manufacturer and series designation
• Lifetime @ Temperature rating (2000 Hrs vs. 3000 Hrs @ 105°C)
• Physical dimensions (diameter and height) within snap-in package constraints
• Ripple current ratings
• Operating temperature lower limit (-40°C vs. -25°C)

The LGG2C222MELB45 has been grouped with four substitute parts: LGN2C222MELB45 (Nichicon), LGG2C222MELC35 (Nichicon), LGN2C222MELC35 (Nichicon), LGU2C222MELC (Nichicon), and 160MXG2200MEFCSN30X45 (Rubycon). All meet the core electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original LGG2C222MELB45 specification.

Selection between the main part and substitutes should be based on:

• Physical space constraints: The LGG2C222MELB45, LGN2C222MELB45, and 160MXG2200MEFCSN30X45 share identical footprint dimensions (30.00mm diameter, 47.00mm height). The LGG2C222MELC35 and LGN2C222MELC35 variants feature a larger diameter (35.00mm) with reduced height (37.00mm). The LGU2C222MELC offers the largest height (45.00mm) with 35.00mm diameter.

• Lifetime requirements: The LGG2C222MELB45 provides 2000 Hrs @ 105°C. Substitutes LGN2C222MELB45, LGN2C222MELC35, LGU2C222MELC, and 160MXG2200MEFCSN30X45 provide extended lifetime of 3000 Hrs @ 105°C.

• Ripple current capacity: The LGU2C222MELC variant supports higher ripple current ratings (4.6 A @ 120 Hz, 5.25 A @ 50 kHz) compared to other options (2.9 A @ 120 Hz, 4.35 A @ 50 kHz).

• Operating temperature lower limit: The 160MXG2200MEFCSN30X45 (Rubycon) operates from -25°C, while all Nichicon variants operate from -40°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGN2C222MELB45 directly replace LGG2C222MELB45?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2200 µF, 160 V, ±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), mounting configuration (Through Hole), and physical footprint (30.00mm diameter, 47.00mm height). The primary difference is extended lifetime (3000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs @ 105°C) in the LGN variant.

Q: What is the difference between LGG2C222MELB45 and LGG2C222MELC35?

A: Both are Nichicon LGG series parts with identical electrical ratings. The MELC35 variant has a larger diameter (35.00mm vs. 30.00mm) and reduced height (37.00mm vs. 47.00mm). Physical space availability on the PCB determines which variant is appropriate.

Q: Is the Rubycon 160MXG2200MEFCSN30X45 compatible with the Nichicon LGG2C222MELB45?

A: Yes, for electrical and mechanical compatibility. Both share identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, package type, and footprint dimensions. The Rubycon part offers 3000 Hrs lifetime and operates from -25°C (vs. -40°C for Nichicon). Compliance certifications (ROHS3) are equivalent.

Q: Can I use LGU2C222MELC as a substitute if ripple current capacity is a concern?

A: Yes. The LGU2C222MELC supports higher ripple current (4.6 A @ 120 Hz, 5.25 A @ 50 kHz) compared to the LGG2C222MELB45 (2.9 A @ 120 Hz, 4.35 A @ 50 kHz). Physical dimensions differ (35.00mm diameter, 45.00mm height), requiring PCB layout verification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts, including the Rubycon 160MXG2200MEFCSN30X45, maintain ROHS3 compliance status.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the LGG2C222MELB45?

A: Core electrical parameters (2200 µF capacitance, 160 V rating, ±20% tolerance) and mechanical specifications (Radial Can - Snap-In package, Through Hole mounting, 10.00mm lead spacing) must match exactly. Variations in lifetime, ripple current, physical dimensions, and manufacturer are permissible provided PCB layout accommodates dimensional differences.
