LP222M050A5P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LP222M050A5P3 is a 2200 µF, 50 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 stable capacitance and reliable performance across extended operating temperatures. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances. Alternative models may be required due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or specific application constraints while maintaining functional equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LP222M050A5P3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance value: 2200 µF (fixed)
• Voltage rating: 50 V (fixed)
• Tolerance: ±20% (fixed)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C (fixed)
• Lifetime specification: 1000 Hrs @ 105°C (fixed)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Mounting type: Through Hole (fixed)
• Package style: Radial, Can - Snap-In (fixed)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (fixed)
• Polarization: Polar (fixed)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status (fixed)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (fixed)

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical ratings and mechanical mounting characteristics. Variations in physical dimensions (diameter and height) are permissible provided the snap-in mounting interface and lead spacing remain unchanged. ESR and ripple current specifications may vary within acceptable operational ranges for the same capacitance and voltage class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LP222M050A5P3 and LP222M050E1P3 are active production parts from Cornell Dubilier Electronics with full RoHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by physical space constraints and mechanical mounting requirements.

LP222M050A5P3 is suitable for applications with height-constrained mounting locations, featuring a maximum seated height of 1.378" (35.00mm) and a smaller diameter of 0.866" (22.00mm).

LP222M050E1P3 is suitable for applications where diameter constraints are less critical, featuring a maximum seated height of 0.984" (25.00mm) and a larger diameter of 1.181" (30.00mm). This variant provides marginally improved ripple current handling at both low and high frequencies.

Both parts maintain identical lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00mm), identical snap-in mounting interface, and equivalent electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range. ESR values differ by 1 mOhm, which is negligible for general-purpose applications. Selection should be based on available printed circuit board space and mechanical clearance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LP222M050E1P3 be used as a direct replacement for LP222M050A5P3?

A: Yes, provided physical space constraints permit. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, lead spacing, and snap-in mounting interface. The primary difference is physical dimensions: LP222M050E1P3 is shorter (0.984" vs 1.378") but wider in diameter (1.181" vs 0.866"). Verify available board space before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different ESR values between these parts?

A: LP222M050A5P3 has an ESR of 151 mOhm while LP222M050E1P3 has 150 mOhm at 120 Hz. This 1 mOhm difference is negligible for general-purpose applications and does not affect functional equivalence or performance in typical circuit designs.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both LP222M050A5P3 and LP222M050E1P3 are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making them suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance.

Q: What is the lead spacing for both parts?

A: Both parts have identical lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00mm), ensuring compatibility with the same through-hole mounting patterns on printed circuit boards.

Q: Do these parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C.

Q: Which part should be selected for space-constrained applications?

A: For height-constrained designs, select LP222M050A5P3 (1.378" maximum height). For diameter-constrained designs, select LP222M050E1P3 (0.984" maximum height). Evaluate available board space in both horizontal and vertical dimensions before selection.

Q: Are the ripple current ratings different between these parts?

A: Yes. LP222M050E1P3 provides slightly higher ripple current capacity at both 120 Hz (1.429 A vs 1.33 A) and 100 kHz (1.5719 A vs 1.463 A). Both ratings are adequate for general-purpose applications; selection should be based on specific circuit requirements and available physical space.
