Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LLS2C471MELY is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value must be exactly 470 µF with ±20% tolerance. Rated voltage must be 160 V or higher. Operating temperature range must encompass -40°C to 85°C minimum. Lifetime specification must meet or exceed 3000 hours at 85°C. Package configuration must be radial, can snap-in with through-hole mounting. Lead spacing must be 0.394" (10.00mm) to ensure PCB compatibility. Polarization must remain polar. All parts must maintain RoHS3 and REACH compliance status.

The SLPX471M160C1P3 from Cornell Dubilier Electronics satisfies all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LLS2C471MELY and SLPX471M160C1P3 are active production components with identical electrical ratings and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts may be based on availability, lead time, or specific application requirements related to ripple current performance. The SLPX471M160C1P3 provides documented ESR specification of 423 mOhm at 120 Hz, which may be advantageous for applications requiring precise impedance characterization. Both parts maintain full RoHS3 and REACH compliance, ensuring regulatory compatibility across all markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SLPX471M160C1P3 be used as a direct replacement for the LLS2C471MELY?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (470 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), lifetime specification (3000 hours at 85°C), and mechanical package configuration (radial, can snap-in, through-hole, 10.00mm lead spacing). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The LLS2C471MELY has a diameter of 0.787" (20.00mm) and height of 1.181" (30.00mm). The SLPX471M160C1P3 has a diameter of 0.984" (25.00mm) and height of 0.984" (25.00mm). Despite these dimensional differences, both maintain the same 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing, which is the critical PCB compatibility parameter. Physical space constraints in the application must be evaluated before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the ESR specification provided for the SLPX471M160C1P3?

A: ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 423 mOhm at 120 Hz characterizes the internal resistance of the capacitor at low frequency operation. This specification is provided for the CDE part but not documented for the Nichicon part. Applications sensitive to impedance characteristics or ripple current filtering performance may benefit from this additional technical data.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the LLS2C471MELY and SLPX471M160C1P3 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
