Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LP222M200H9P3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 2200 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 200 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 10.00 mm (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 35.00 mm diameter (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Lifetime @ 105°C: Equal to or greater than 1000 hours
• Height - Seated (Max): Equal to or less than 50.00 mm
• Ripple Current: May vary based on manufacturer design
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted

Both identified substitute parts (LGN2D222MELC45 and LGU2D222MELC) satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and provide extended lifetime ratings of 3000 hours at 105°C, representing performance enhancement over the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (LGN2D222MELC45):

The LGN2D222MELC45 from Nichicon provides direct functional equivalence to the LP222M200H9P3. All electrical and mechanical parameters align with substitution requirements. The seated height of 47.00 mm is 3 mm shorter than the original specification maximum of 50.00 mm, providing improved spatial compatibility in compact layouts. The extended lifetime rating of 3000 hours at 105°C represents a 200% improvement over the original 1000-hour specification. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining full regulatory alignment.

Upgrade Alternative (LGU2D222MELC):

The LGU2D222MELC from Nichicon offers identical electrical specifications and seated height to the LP222M200H9P3 while providing the same 3000-hour lifetime extension. The ripple current capability is marginally higher (3.78 A @ 120 Hz and 5.67 A @ 50 kHz compared to 3.48 A and 5.22 A in the LGN2D222MELC45), indicating enhanced thermal performance characteristics. This part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Both substitute parts are Active products with substantial inventory availability (273,882 and 273,982 units respectively), ensuring supply chain reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGN2D222MELC45 and LGU2D222MELC be used interchangeably with LP222M200H9P3?

A: Both Nichicon parts are direct substitutes for the LP222M200H9P3. All critical electrical parameters (capacitance, voltage, tolerance) and mechanical parameters (package type, lead spacing, diameter) are identical. The primary difference is seated height: LGN2D222MELC45 measures 47.00 mm versus 50.00 mm for both the original and LGU2D222MELC. Selection depends on available PCB space.

Q: What is the significance of the extended 3000-hour lifetime rating?

A: The substitute parts provide 3000 hours at 105°C compared to the original 1000 hours. This represents a 3x improvement in thermal endurance, indicating enhanced reliability in high-temperature operating environments. The extended rating does not alter electrical performance but extends the component's operational lifespan under sustained thermal stress.

Q: Are there physical installation differences between these parts?

A: All three parts use identical through-hole mounting with 10.00 mm lead spacing and 35.00 mm diameter cans. The LGN2D222MELC45 has a 3 mm height reduction (47.00 mm vs. 50.00 mm), which may provide clearance advantages in space-constrained designs. The LGU2D222MELC maintains the original 50.00 mm height for direct drop-in replacement.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain regulatory compliance?

A: Both LGN2D222MELC45 and LGU2D222MELC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the LP222M200H9P3. No compliance degradation occurs with substitution.

Q: What is the difference between LGN2D222MELC45 and LGU2D222MELC?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications and lifetime ratings. The LGU2D222MELC provides marginally higher ripple current capability (3.78 A @ 120 Hz and 5.67 A @ 50 kHz versus 3.48 A and 5.22 A) and maintains the original 50.00 mm seated height. The LGN2D222MELC45 offers a compact 47.00 mm height. Selection depends on thermal performance requirements and available PCB space.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring higher ripple current handling?

A: The LGU2D222MELC demonstrates superior ripple current performance compared to LGN2D222MELC45. If ripple current capacity is a design constraint, the LGU2D222MELC is the preferred selection.
