LP221M200A3P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LP221M200A3P3 is a 220 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the LP series. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring polar electrolytic capacitance in through-hole configurations. The part is currently active in production status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align within the allowed specifications for this capacitor category, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without functional degradation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LP221M200A3P3 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 220 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage Rating: 200 V
• Polarization: Polar

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lead Spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm)
• Diameter: 0.866" (22.00mm)

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 381LX221M200H012 meets all mandatory electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria. Variations in height, ESR specifications, ripple current ratings, and lifetime characteristics do not disqualify substitution when the core parameters align. These secondary parameters reflect design improvements or different application profiles within the same functional category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LP221M200A3P3 and 381LX221M200H012 are active production parts from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and availability:

LP221M200A3P3 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when original part specification is required
• Suitable for applications with standard height constraints up to 1.181" (30.00mm)
• Current inventory: 961 pieces

381LX221M200H012 Selection Criteria:

• Direct substitute when space-constrained applications require reduced height of 1.063" (27.00mm)
• Suitable for applications where extended lifetime at elevated temperature (3000 Hrs @ 105°C) provides design margin
• Current inventory: 40,456 pieces

Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications (220 µF, ±20%, 200 V) and mechanical mounting requirements (through-hole, snap-in, 10.00mm lead spacing, 22.00mm diameter). The height differential of 0.118" (3.00mm) is the primary physical distinction. Compliance certifications are equivalent across both parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 381LX221M200H012 directly replace the LP221M200A3P3 in existing circuit boards?

A: Yes, the 381LX221M200H012 is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. Both parts share identical capacitance (220 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00mm), and diameter (22.00mm). The 381LX series is 3.00mm shorter in height, which may provide advantages in space-constrained designs. Verify PCB clearance for the reduced height before implementation.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: capacitance value (220 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), package type (radial snap-in), mounting method (through-hole), lead spacing (10.00mm), and diameter (22.00mm). Both parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Variations in height, ESR, ripple current, and lifetime do not prevent substitution when core parameters align.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both LP221M200A3P3 and 381LX221M200H012 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under identical HTSUS code 8532.22.0040. Both are manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics and carry active production status. Compliance profiles are equivalent.

Q: What is the physical height difference, and does it affect PCB layout?

A: The LP221M200A3P3 has a maximum seated height of 1.181" (30.00mm), while the 381LX221M200H012 measures 1.063" (27.00mm). The 381LX series is 0.118" (3.00mm) shorter. This difference may be significant in applications with tight vertical clearance constraints. Verify available PCB height before selecting the taller LP series part.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in high-ripple-current applications?

A: Both parts are rated for ripple current at specified frequencies. The LP221M200A3P3 is rated 660 mA @ 120 Hz and 924 mA @ 100 kHz. The 381LX221M200H012 is rated 1 A @ 120 Hz and 1.4 A @ 20 kHz. Application-specific ripple current requirements must be evaluated against the respective part ratings. Consult detailed datasheets for frequency-dependent ripple current performance.

Q: What is the difference in lifetime specifications?

A: The LP221M200A3P3 is rated for 1000 hours at 105°C, while the 381LX221M200H012 is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C. The 381LX series provides extended operational life at elevated temperature. For applications requiring maximum reliability margin at high temperatures, the 381LX series offers superior performance. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
