LLS2C222MELB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LLS2C222MELB is a 2200 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in a radial, can snap-in package. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high capacitance and voltage ratings with a 3000-hour lifetime at 85°C. The part is currently active in production and widely available. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, manage inventory across multiple suppliers, and maintain design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LLS2C222MELB are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Capacitance (2200 µF), rated voltage (160 V), and tolerance (±20%) must match exactly
• Thermal Performance: Lifetime rating of 3000 hours at 85°C must be maintained
• Operating Temperature: Range of -40°C to 85°C must be supported
• Package Configuration: Radial, can snap-in package with through-hole mounting and 10.00mm lead spacing
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status required
• Polarization: Polar configuration mandatory

The SLPX222M160H7P3 from Cornell Dubilier Electronics meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LLS2C222MELB and SLPX222M160H7P3 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: The LLS2C222MELB has 273,982 units in stock, while the SLPX222M160H7P3 has 948 units available
• Physical Dimensions: The LLS2C222MELB has a diameter of 1.181" (30.00mm) and height of 1.969" (50.00mm), while the SLPX222M160H7P3 has a diameter of 1.378" (35.00mm) and height of 1.575" (40.00mm). PCB layout constraints may dictate which part is suitable
• ESR Characteristics: The SLPX222M160H7P3 specifies 90mOhm ESR at 120Hz, providing additional performance data for applications sensitive to equivalent series resistance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SLPX222M160H7P3 be used as a direct replacement for the LLS2C222MELB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2200 µF, 160 V, ±20% tolerance), thermal performance (3000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), and package configuration (radial, can snap-in, through-hole, 10.00mm lead spacing). Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Are there physical size differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The LLS2C222MELB measures 1.181" diameter × 1.969" height, while the SLPX222M160H7P3 measures 1.378" diameter × 1.575" height. PCB layout and available mounting space must be verified before substitution.

Q: Do both parts have the same ripple current rating at 120 Hz?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 4.96 A ripple current at 120 Hz, meeting identical low-frequency performance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the ESR specification on the SLPX222M160H7P3?

A: The SLPX222M160H7P3 specifies 90mOhm ESR at 120Hz. This parameter is not provided for the LLS2C222MELB but represents the internal resistance of the capacitor. Applications with strict ESR requirements should reference the complete datasheet for the LLS2C222MELB to confirm compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for general-purpose applications and share identical electrical and thermal specifications, making them functionally equivalent for standard circuit designs.
