LP152M160E9P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LP152M160E9P3 is a 1500 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in a radial, can snap-in package. This component is rated for 1000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters allow direct replacement while maintaining circuit performance and reliability requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Capacitance value: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 1.181" Dia × 1.969" Height (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Parameters Allowing Variation:

• Voltage rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher voltage ratings
• Lifetime @ temperature: Substitute parts may have equal or longer operational life
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or match the original specification

The substitute part LGU2D152MELB from Nichicon meets all critical parameters while providing enhanced voltage rating (200 V vs. 160 V) and extended lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C vs. 1000 Hrs @ 105°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LP152M160E9P3 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics)

Select this part when the original specification requires CDE sourcing or when the 160 V rating and 1000-hour lifetime are specifically mandated by circuit design constraints. This part maintains active production status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification.

LGU2D152MELB (Nichicon)

This substitute part is electrically and mechanically compatible with the LP152M160E9P3. The higher voltage rating (200 V) provides additional design margin in applications where the circuit voltage may approach the 160 V limit. The extended lifetime rating (3000 Hrs @ 105°C) offers improved reliability in continuous-duty applications. Both parts share identical physical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting characteristics, ensuring direct board-level compatibility. The substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Selection between these parts should be based on manufacturer preference, supply chain availability, and whether the enhanced voltage and lifetime specifications of the Nichicon part provide value for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGU2D152MELB replace LP152M160E9P3 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (1500 µF), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions (1.181" Dia × 1.969" Height), lead spacing (0.394"), and package type (Radial, Can - Snap-In). The substitute part is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct board-level replacement.

Q: What is the difference in voltage rating between these parts?

A: The LP152M160E9P3 is rated at 160 V, while the LGU2D152MELB is rated at 200 V. The higher voltage rating of the substitute part does not affect compatibility; it provides additional voltage margin in the circuit.

Q: How do the lifetime ratings differ?

A: The LP152M160E9P3 is rated for 1000 hours at 105°C, while the LGU2D152MELB is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C. The extended lifetime of the substitute part indicates longer operational life under thermal stress conditions.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the LP152M160E9P3 and LGU2D152MELB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Will the substitute part fit in the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00mm) and physical dimensions (1.181" Dia × 1.969" Height), ensuring compatibility with the same through-hole mounting pattern.

Q: Can I use the substitute part in applications requiring the original CDE part?

A: Substitution should be evaluated based on circuit requirements and design specifications. Both parts meet the same electrical and mechanical parameters, but manufacturer preference or specific design constraints may require the original part.
