Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Nichicon LNT2H331MSEFBN is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 500 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Ripple current specifications: 2.7 A @ 120 Hz and 3.78 A @ 10 kHz (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: Lead spacing 22.00 mm, diameter 51.00 mm, height 83.00 mm (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial, Can - Screw Terminals (exact match required)
• Compliance certifications: RoHS3 and REACH (exact match required)

Only parts meeting all these parameters qualify as direct substitutes. The LNT2H331MSEF meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.
