Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the LLS2C222MELC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2200 µF (exact match required)
• Rated voltage: 160 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime specification: 3000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mechanical compatibility: Lead spacing 10.00mm, diameter 35.00mm, height 40.00mm maximum, radial can snap-in package (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The SLPX222M160H7P3 manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LLS2C222MELC and SLPX222M160H7P3 are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on availability, procurement lead time, and supply chain requirements. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical specifications for through-hole PCB assembly applications requiring 2200 µF capacitance at 160 V rated voltage with 3000-hour lifetime at 85°C operating temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SLPX222M160H7P3 be used as a direct replacement for LLS2C222MELC?

A: Yes. The SLPX222M160H7P3 is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, lifetime specification, operating temperature range, and mechanical dimensions. Direct PCB substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: Are there differences in ripple current ratings between these parts?

A: Ripple current specifications differ slightly. The LLS2C222MELC is rated at 4.96 A @ 120 Hz and 7.44 A @ 50 kHz. The SLPX222M160H7P3 is rated at 4.96 A @ 120 Hz and 7.29 A @ 20 kHz. Both parts meet the same low-frequency ripple current requirement; high-frequency ripple current specifications vary by measurement frequency.

Q: Do both parts use the same snap-in mounting mechanism?

A: Yes. Both components feature radial, can snap-in package design with identical lead spacing of 10.00mm and mechanical dimensions of 35.00mm diameter and 40.00mm maximum height. Snap-in mounting compatibility is maintained across both parts.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical?

A: Yes. Both LLS2C222MELC and SLPX222M160H7P3 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting equivalent regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
