LLS2C561MELY Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LLS2C561MELY is a 560 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 stable capacitance performance across industrial temperature ranges. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, supply chain disruptions occur, or design flexibility permits alternative manufacturers meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LLS2C561MELY is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 560 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 160 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) LPX561M160C3P3 meets all mandatory substitution criteria. Physical dimensions vary within acceptable tolerance for snap-in mounting applications. Electrical performance characteristics (ESR, ripple current, lifetime rating) differ but do not disqualify the substitute part from functional equivalence in general-purpose applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LLS2C561MELY and LPX561M160C3P3 are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and supply availability.

The LLS2C561MELY (Nichicon) provides extended lifetime rating of 3000 hours at 85°C and higher ripple current capacity at both low and high frequencies. This part is suitable for applications requiring maximum operational longevity and higher current handling.

The LPX561M160C3P3 (CDE) is functionally equivalent for general-purpose applications and offers compact physical dimensions (smaller diameter and height). This part is suitable for space-constrained designs where the reduced footprint is advantageous.

Both parts share identical electrical specifications (capacitance, voltage, tolerance, temperature range) and mechanical compatibility (lead spacing, snap-in mounting). Physical dimension differences do not affect PCB mounting compatibility for through-hole snap-in applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LPX561M160C3P3 be used as a direct replacement for the LLS2C561MELY?

A: Yes. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications (560 µF, 160 V, ±20% tolerance) and mechanical requirements (lead spacing 10.00mm, radial snap-in package, through-hole mounting). Physical dimensions differ but do not prevent PCB mounting compatibility.

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

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Nichicon vs. CDE), physical dimensions (diameter and height), lifetime rating (3000 hrs vs. 1000 hrs @ 85°C), and ripple current capacity. Electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 export control category.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-ripple-current applications?

A: The LLS2C561MELY provides higher ripple current capacity (2.14 A @ 120 Hz, 3.21 A @ 50 kHz) compared to the LPX561M160C3P3 (1.8 A @ 120 Hz, 1.98 A @ 50 kHz).

Q: Which part should be selected for space-constrained designs?

A: The LPX561M160C3P3 offers a smaller physical footprint (0.984" diameter, 1.181" height) compared to the LLS2C561MELY (0.787" diameter, 1.378" height).

Q: Are lead spacing and mounting compatibility identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have 0.394" (10.00mm) lead spacing and are mounted as through-hole radial snap-in components on identical PCB footprints.
