LP271M200C3P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LP271M200C3P3 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 stable capacitance and reliable performance across industrial temperature ranges. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance can be maintained across different product series or packaging configurations. Alternative components may be necessary due to inventory availability, application-specific lifetime requirements, or ripple current specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the LP271M200C3P3 is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 270 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 200 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Regulatory & Compliance Parameters:

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

Substitute parts may differ in the following non-critical parameters: ESR specifications, lifetime rating at temperature, ripple current ratings, physical height dimensions (within mechanical envelope constraints), and packaging format (bulk vs. standard). These variations do not affect functional substitution provided all critical parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the LP271M200C3P3 and 381LX271M200J012 are Active products manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these components is based on application-specific requirements and availability.

LP271M200C3P3 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring standard 1000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C
• Space-constrained designs where maximum height of 1.181" (30.00mm) is acceptable
• Inventory availability of 958 pieces in standard packaging

381LX271M200J012 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring extended lifetime performance with 3000-hour rating at 105°C
• Designs benefiting from higher ripple current capacity (1.1 A @ 120 Hz and 1.5 A @ 20 kHz)
• Space-optimized designs where reduced height of 1.063" (27.00mm) provides mechanical advantage
• Bulk packaging requirements
• Inventory availability of 2292 pieces

Both components maintain identical electrical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching lead spacing, diameter, and mounting type. The 381LX variant provides enhanced performance characteristics without compromising regulatory compliance or functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 381LX271M200J012 be used as a direct replacement for the LP271M200C3P3?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (270 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00mm), diameter (25.00mm), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). The 381LX variant is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution in through-hole snap-in applications.

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

A: The primary dimensional difference is seated height. The LP271M200C3P3 has a maximum seated height of 1.181" (30.00mm), while the 381LX271M200J012 has a maximum seated height of 1.063" (27.00mm). Both maintain identical diameter of 0.984" (25.00mm) and lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00mm). The reduced height of the 381LX variant allows for use in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Q: Are there performance differences between these capacitors?

A: The 381LX271M200J012 provides enhanced performance specifications. It offers a 3000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C compared to the LP271M200C3P3's 1000-hour rating. Additionally, the 381LX variant supports higher ripple current capacity at both low frequency (1.1 A @ 120 Hz versus 790 mA) and high frequency (1.5 A @ 20 kHz versus 1.106 A @ 100 kHz). These enhancements do not affect basic functional compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the LP271M200C3P3 and 381LX271M200J012 are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. They share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.22.0040) classifications. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for both components.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each part?

A: The LP271M200C3P3 is available in standard packaging with 958 pieces in stock. The 381LX271M200J012 is available in bulk packaging with 2292 pieces in stock. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications regardless of packaging format.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. The identical lead spacing (10.00mm), diameter (25.00mm), and mounting type (through-hole snap-in) ensure PCB footprint compatibility. The reduced height of the 381LX variant (27.00mm versus 30.00mm) provides additional clearance in space-constrained designs without requiring PCB layout modifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-ripple-current applications?

A: The 381LX271M200J012 is suitable for applications requiring higher ripple current handling. It supports 1.1 A at 120 Hz and 1.5 A at 20 kHz, compared to the LP271M200C3P3's 790 mA at 120 Hz and 1.106 A at 100 kHz. Selection depends on specific application ripple current requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature-related differences between these capacitors?

A: Both components operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The difference lies in lifetime rating at the maximum operating temperature. The 381LX271M200J012 provides 3000 hours at 105°C, while the LP271M200C3P3 provides 1000 hours at 105°C. This affects long-term reliability in continuous high-temperature operation.
