LP182M160E9P3

Part Overview

The LP182M160E9P3 is a 1800 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can snap-in configuration manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is rated for general purpose applications with an operational lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The part is currently active in product status and ROHS3 compliant. Alternative models become necessary when system requirements demand extended operational lifetime, higher voltage ratings, or improved ripple current handling capabilities.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LP182M160E9P3 must maintain identical capacitance (1800 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00mm), physical dimensions (1.181" Dia × 1.969" Max Height), mounting type (Through Hole), and package configuration (Radial, Can - Snap-In). The substitute part LAR2D182MELB50 satisfies these core mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements while offering additional performance advantages. Voltage rating may be exceeded in substitute parts, as this provides backward compatibility with lower-voltage applications. Extended lifetime ratings are permissible as they represent improved operational characteristics without affecting electrical interface requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LP182M160E9P3 and LAR2D182MELB50 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements. The LAR2D182MELB50 represents an upgrade path with doubled operational lifetime (2000 hours versus 1000 hours at 105°C) and elevated voltage rating (200 V versus 160 V). The substitute part is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct replacement, with identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, and physical footprint. Selection between these components depends on application requirements for operational lifetime and voltage margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the LAR2D182MELB50 directly replace the LP182M160E9P3? Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (1800 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00mm), and physical dimensions (1.181" Dia × 1.969" Max Height). The radial, can snap-in package configuration and through-hole mounting type are identical. No circuit board modification is required.

What are the electrical differences between these parts? The primary electrical differences are voltage rating and lifetime specification. The LAR2D182MELB50 is rated for 200 V compared to the LP182M160E9P3 at 160 V, providing additional voltage margin. The substitute part is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C versus 1000 hours for the main part, indicating extended operational life in thermal conditions.

Are both parts compliant with current regulations? Both the LP182M160E9P3 and LAR2D182MELB50 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current electronics manufacturing regulatory requirements.

Does the higher voltage rating affect compatibility? No. The higher voltage rating of the LAR2D182MELB50 (200 V) is compatible with applications designed for the 160 V rated LP182M160E9P3. Voltage ratings exceeding the application requirement do not introduce electrical incompatibility.

What is the operating temperature range for both parts? Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent environmental conditions.
