LPX102M160C7P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The LPX102M160C7P3 is a 1000 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in a radial, can snap-in package. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high-capacitance energy storage in through-hole configurations. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when they maintain the same capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, mounting type, and lead spacing while offering alternative performance characteristics or extended operational life.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LPX102M160C7P3 are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All substitute parts maintain the following core parameters identical to the main part:

• Capacitance: 1000 µF
• Voltage Rating: 160 V or higher
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Lead Spacing: 10.00 mm (0.394")
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C
• RoHS3 Compliance: Yes

Substitutes are differentiated by variations in lifetime rating at 85°C, physical dimensions (diameter and height), ripple current capabilities, and ESR characteristics. These variations allow selection based on specific application requirements for thermal endurance and current handling capacity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SLPX102M160E3P3 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics)

This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications to the main part with 199 mOhm ESR at 120Hz and 160 V rating. The primary distinction is extended thermal lifetime of 3000 hours at 85°C compared to 1000 hours for the LPX102M160C7P3. Physical dimensions differ with a larger diameter (30.00 mm vs. 25.00 mm) and reduced height (30.00 mm vs. 40.00 mm). This configuration is suitable for applications requiring extended operational life in elevated temperature environments where PCB space permits the increased diameter. RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are maintained.

LLG2C102MELA30 (Nichicon)

This substitute provides 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C with identical 1000 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, and 160 V rating. Physical dimensions match the main part (25.00 mm diameter, 32.00 mm height). Lead spacing remains 10.00 mm. Ripple current capability is 3.0 A at 120Hz, exceeding the main part's 2.6 A. ESR is not specified in available data. This part is suitable for direct replacement in space-constrained applications where the original footprint must be preserved while achieving moderate thermal endurance improvement. RoHS3 compliance is confirmed.

LLS2D102MELA (Nichicon)

This substitute offers the highest thermal rating at 3000 hours at 85°C with elevated voltage rating of 200 V, providing design margin above the 160 V requirement. Capacitance remains 1000 µF at ±20% tolerance. Physical dimensions are identical to the main part (25.00 mm diameter, 40.00 mm height). Ripple current capability is 3.28 A at 120Hz. This configuration functions as an upgrade option for applications requiring extended operational life and higher voltage margin without PCB layout modification. RoHS3 compliance is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SLPX102M160E3P3 be used as a direct replacement for LPX102M160C7P3 on existing PCBs?

A: SLPX102M160E3P3 has identical lead spacing (10.00 mm) and snap-in mounting type, but the larger diameter (30.00 mm vs. 25.00 mm) and reduced height (30.00 mm vs. 40.00 mm) require verification of available PCB space. The component will fit the same lead holes but occupies different physical envelope dimensions.

Q: What is the primary advantage of LLS2D102MELA over the main part?

A: LLS2D102MELA provides three key improvements: extended thermal lifetime (3000 hours vs. 1000 hours at 85°C), elevated voltage rating (200 V vs. 160 V), and higher ripple current capacity (3.28 A vs. 2.6 A at 120Hz). Physical footprint remains identical, enabling direct PCB substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts—SLPX102M160E3P3, LLG2C102MELA30, and LLS2D102MELA—are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the main part LPX102M160C7P3.

Q: Which substitute part maintains the smallest physical footprint?

A: LLG2C102MELA30 provides the most compact configuration with 25.00 mm diameter and 32.00 mm height, matching the main part's diameter while reducing height by 8.00 mm compared to the original 40.00 mm specification.

Q: Can LLG2C102MELA30 be used in applications requiring the full 1000-hour minimum lifetime?

A: Yes. LLG2C102MELA30 exceeds the minimum requirement with 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C, providing 100% margin above the 1000-hour specification of the main part.

Q: What is the voltage derating consideration for LLS2D102MELA?

A: LLS2D102MELA is rated for 200 V, which is 40 V higher than the 160 V requirement of the main part. This provides 25% voltage margin and allows operation in circuits with transient overvoltage conditions up to 200 V without exceeding component ratings.
