LLS2D152MELC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LLS2D152MELC is a 1500 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can snap-in package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and extended operational life. The part delivers 3000 hours of rated lifetime at 85°C with operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements allow flexibility in manufacturer selection, physical dimensions within mounting constraints, or voltage ratings above the minimum circuit requirement. Substitution eligibility is determined strictly by matching capacitance value, tolerance, voltage rating, lead spacing, and package type.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the LLS2D152MELC is based on the following criteria:

Primary Substitutes (Identical Electrical Specifications): Parts matching all critical parameters—1500 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 200 V rated voltage, 10.00 mm lead spacing, radial snap-in package, and through-hole mounting—are classified as direct substitutes. Physical dimension variations (diameter and height) are acceptable provided the component fits within the PCB layout constraints.

Secondary Substitutes (Higher Voltage Rating): The LLS2E152MELC operates at 250 V rated voltage while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, and package configuration. Higher voltage ratings provide additional design margin and are electrically compatible in 200 V applications.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes: Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) parts in the 380LX, LPX, and SLPX series match the electrical and mechanical specifications of the Nichicon LLS series. These parts maintain 1500 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 200 V voltage rating, 10.00 mm lead spacing, and radial snap-in package type.

Key Parameters for Substitution Determination:

Capacitance: 1500 µF (fixed)
Tolerance: ±20% (fixed)
Voltage Rating: 200 V minimum (250 V acceptable)
Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (fixed)
Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (fixed)
Mounting: Through Hole (fixed)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Nichicon LLS Series (Primary Selection): LLS2D152MELC, LLS2D152MELB, and LLS2E152MELC maintain full Nichicon product line continuity. All three parts are Active status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. LLS2D152MELC and LLS2D152MELB are electrically identical at 200 V; selection between them depends on available PCB space for the physical footprint. LLS2E152MELC provides 250 V rating for applications requiring additional voltage margin while maintaining identical capacitance and tolerance specifications.

Cornell Dubilier Electronics 380LX Series (Cross-Manufacturer Equivalent): The 380LX152M200A032 and 380LX152M200A042 are direct electrical equivalents at 1500 µF, 200 V with 3000-hour lifetime rating. Both parts are Active status with ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions differ slightly; selection depends on PCB layout constraints. ESR specification of 144 mOhm @ 120 Hz is provided for these parts.

Cornell Dubilier Electronics SLPX Series (Extended Lifetime Equivalent): SLPX152M200H7P3 matches the LLS2D152MELC electrical and mechanical specifications with 3000-hour lifetime at 85°C. This part provides documented ESR of 133 mOhm @ 120 Hz and is Active status with ROHS3 compliance.

Cornell Dubilier Electronics LPX Series (Reduced Lifetime): LPX152M200H7P3 is electrically compatible but operates at reduced lifetime of 1000 hours @ 85°C compared to the 3000-hour rating of the main part. This part is suitable only for applications where extended operational life is not required.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original LLS2D152MELC specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LLS2D152MELB be used as a direct replacement for LLS2D152MELC?

A: Yes. Both parts are Nichicon LLS series with identical electrical specifications: 1500 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 200 V rated voltage, 10.00 mm lead spacing, and radial snap-in package. Physical dimensions differ (diameter 30.00 mm vs. 35.00 mm; height 45.00 mm vs. 35.00 mm). Substitution is valid provided the PCB layout accommodates the different footprint.

Q: Is LLS2E152MELC compatible with a 200 V circuit?

A: Yes. LLS2E152MELC is rated for 250 V, which exceeds the 200 V circuit requirement. The higher voltage rating provides additional design margin and does not affect electrical compatibility. Capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, and package type are identical to LLS2D152MELC.
