LP271M200A1P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LP271M200A1P3 is a 270 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in a radial, can snap-in package. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across manufacturers while meeting or exceeding performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LP271M200A1P3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Capacitance value: 270 µF (exact match)
• Voltage rating: 200 V (minimum, equal or higher acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±20% (matching or tighter tolerance acceptable)
• Polarization: Polar (must match)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 105°C (must encompass or match)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 0.866" Dia × 0.984" Height (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance (required)
• REACH Unaffected status (required)

The substitute part LGU2D271MELZ from Nichicon meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria. Additional performance characteristics such as extended lifetime (3000 hours at 105°C versus 1000 hours) and ripple current ratings represent enhancements that do not compromise compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LP271M200A1P3 and LGU2D271MELZ are Active product status components that satisfy RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

LP271M200A1P3 (CDE): Select this part when the original manufacturer specification is required or when design validation has been performed specifically with CDE components.

LGU2D271MELZ (Nichicon): This substitute part provides identical electrical and mechanical compatibility with the added benefit of extended operational lifetime (3000 hours at 105°C compared to 1000 hours). The Nichicon LGU series offers enhanced ripple current handling at both low frequency (1.1 A @ 120 Hz) and high frequency (1.65 A @ 50 kHz) conditions. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where component availability or supply chain considerations favor the Nichicon manufacturer.

Both parts are suitable for general-purpose applications and maintain full compatibility with PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies designed for the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LGU2D271MELZ be used as a direct replacement for LP271M200A1P3 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00 mm), physical dimensions (0.866" diameter × 0.984" height), and mounting type (through-hole radial snap-in). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference in lifetime between these two parts?

A: The LP271M200A1P3 is rated for 1000 hours at 105°C, while the LGU2D271MELZ is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C. Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both LP271M200A1P3 and LGU2D271MELZ are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Do these capacitors have the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (270 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), and polarization (polar). They are electrically equivalent for circuit design purposes.

Q: What is the lead spacing for these snap-in capacitors?

A: Both parts have a lead spacing of 0.394 inches (10.00 mm), which is the standard spacing for this package type.

Q: Can I use the LGU2D271MELZ in high-ripple-current applications?

A: The LGU2D271MELZ is specified with ripple current ratings of 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 1.65 A at 50 kHz. Verify that your application's ripple current requirements fall within these specifications.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with these parts?

A: The LP271M200A1P3 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity. The LGU2D271MELZ is listed as Not Applicable for MSL, which is typical for aluminum electrolytic capacitors in this package type.
