Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LLG2G331MELA35 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 400 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.984" Dia × 1.457" Height (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The LGL2G331MELA35 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and package configuration. Differences in lifetime temperature rating and ripple current specifications do not preclude substitution when the application operating conditions fall within the substitute part's rated parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LLG2G331MELA35 and LGL2G331MELA35 are Active status components manufactured by Nichicon and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The LGL2G331MELA35 offers an extended operating temperature range (-25°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 85°C) and higher temperature lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 2000 Hrs @ 85°C), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance. Selection between these parts depends on the application's thermal environment and required operational temperature margins. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within their respective rated parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LGL2G331MELA35 be used as a direct replacement for the LLG2G331MELA35?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (400 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In), and physical dimensions. The LGL2G331MELA35 provides extended temperature capability and is suitable for applications operating within the LLG2G331MELA35 specifications.

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

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range and lifetime temperature rating. The LGL2G331MELA35 operates from -25°C to 105°C with 2000 Hrs lifetime @ 105°C, while the LLG2G331MELA35 operates from -25°C to 85°C with 2000 Hrs lifetime @ 85°C. Ripple current specifications also differ at low frequency (1.07 A @ 120 Hz for LGL2G331MELA35 versus 1.7 A @ 120 Hz for LLG2G331MELA35).

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00mm), diameter (0.984" / 25.00mm), and maximum seated height (1.457" / 37.00mm). Both use Through Hole mounting with snap-in can package configuration.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the LLG2G331MELA35 and LGL2G331MELA35 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.22.0040) classifications.

Q: Which part should I select for high-temperature applications?

A: The LGL2G331MELA35 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring operation above 85°C, as it maintains rated performance to 105°C. The LLG2G331MELA35 is suitable for applications with maximum operating temperatures at or below 85°C.
