LPX152M160E7P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The LPX152M160E7P3 is a 1500 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in the LPX series. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high capacitance density in a compact through-hole package. The part is currently active in production with 965 pieces in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to component availability, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the same application parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LPX152M160E7P3 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance: 1500 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 160 V (exact match required for direct substitution)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 10.00 mm (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Physical dimensions (diameter and height) must accommodate the same mounting footprint
• RoHS3 compliance and REACH status must be maintained
• Ripple current ratings must meet or exceed application requirements

Two substitute parts are identified: one from the same manufacturer (CDE) with higher voltage rating, and one from an alternative manufacturer (Nichicon) with identical electrical specifications at the same voltage rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

LPX152M200H7P3 (CDE Higher Voltage Variant)

This substitute is electrically compatible with the LPX152M160E7P3 for applications operating at 160 V or below. The 200 V rating provides additional voltage margin. Physical dimensions differ: the diameter increases from 30.00 mm to 35.00 mm while maintaining the same 40.00 mm height and 10.00 mm lead spacing. This part is suitable for designs where increased physical envelope is acceptable. Both parts share identical ESR specifications (133 mOhm @ 120Hz) and lifetime rating (1000 Hrs @ 85°C). RoHS3 compliance and REACH status are maintained. Selection of this variant is appropriate when higher voltage headroom is required or when CDE product continuity is preferred.

LLG2C152MELB30 (Nichicon Direct Equivalent)

This substitute provides direct electrical equivalence at the same 160 V rating with identical capacitance and tolerance specifications. Physical dimensions are more compact: 30.00 mm diameter (matching the main part) and 32.00 mm height (8 mm shorter than the main part). Lead spacing remains 10.00 mm for PCB compatibility. The Nichicon part offers extended lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C versus 1000 Hrs), providing improved reliability margin. Ripple current capability at 50 kHz is higher (5.1 A versus 3.63 A). ESR is not specified for this part. RoHS3 compliance and REACH status are maintained. This substitute is appropriate when space constraints favor the more compact height or when extended operational lifetime is beneficial.

Both substitutes maintain active product status, full regulatory compliance, and through-hole snap-in mounting compatibility with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LPX152M200H7P3 be used as a direct replacement for LPX152M160E7P3?

A: Yes, within voltage-constrained applications. The LPX152M200H7P3 has identical capacitance (1500 µF), tolerance (±20%), ESR (133 mOhm @ 120Hz), and lifetime (1000 Hrs @ 85°C). The higher 200 V rating is backward-compatible with 160 V applications. However, the diameter increases from 30.00 mm to 35.00 mm, requiring verification that the larger physical envelope fits the available PCB space.

Q: Can LLG2C152MELB30 be used as a direct replacement for LPX152M160E7P3?

A: Yes. The LLG2C152MELB30 matches all critical electrical parameters: 1500 µF capacitance, 160 V rating, ±20% tolerance, and -40°C to 85°C operating range. Lead spacing (10.00 mm) and mounting type (through-hole snap-in) are identical. Physical dimensions are more compact (30.00 mm diameter, 32.00 mm height versus 40.00 mm height). The Nichicon part offers extended lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C). Substitution is direct for PCB layouts where the shorter height is compatible.

Q: What are the key differences between the two substitute parts?

A: LPX152M200H7P3 provides higher voltage rating (200 V) with larger diameter (35.00 mm) but maintains the same height (40.00 mm). LLG2C152MELB30 maintains the same voltage (160 V) and diameter (30.00 mm) but offers shorter height (32.00 mm) and extended lifetime (2000 Hrs). ESR is specified for the CDE part (133 mOhm) but not for the Nichicon part.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both LPX152M200H7P3 and LLG2C152MELB30 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the main part LPX152M160E7P3.

Q: What is the impact of the different physical dimensions on PCB design?

A: The LPX152M200H7P3 has a larger diameter (35.00 mm versus 30.00 mm), requiring verification of radial clearance around the component. The LLG2C152MELB30 has a shorter seated height (32.00 mm versus 40.00 mm), which may provide additional vertical clearance in space-constrained designs. Lead spacing remains 10.00 mm for all three parts, maintaining PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Which substitute offers better long-term reliability?

A: The LLG2C152MELB30 offers extended operational lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C) compared to both the main part and the CDE substitute (1000 Hrs @ 85°C), providing a 2x reliability margin under specified thermal conditions.

Q: Are there any ESR considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: The LPX152M160E7P3 and LPX152M200H7P3 both specify 133 mOhm ESR @ 120Hz. The LLG2C152MELB30 does not provide ESR specification in the available data. For applications where ESR is a critical parameter, the CDE parts provide explicit specification.
