Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LPX471M160C1P3 are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The primary substitution parameters are:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 470 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In
• Lead Spacing: 10.00 mm
• Case Diameter: 25.00 mm
• Height - Seated (Max): 25.00 mm
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Polarization: Polar

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: Equal to or greater than 160 V
• ESR @ 120Hz: Equal to or lower than 423 mOhm
• Lifetime @ Temperature: Equal to or greater than 1000 Hrs @ 85°C
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal to or exceeding -40°C to 85°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Two substitute parts meet these criteria and are organized as follows:

Direct Equivalent: SLPX471M160C1P3 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) - Identical electrical specifications with enhanced lifetime rating.

Upgrade Alternative: LGW2D471MELA25 (Nichicon) - Higher voltage rating and extended temperature range with improved ripple current handling.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SLPX471M160C1P3 Selection Criteria:

The SLPX471M160C1P3 is a direct equivalent to the LPX471M160C1P3 with identical electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions. This substitute provides enhanced reliability through a tripled lifetime rating (3000 hours at 85°C versus 1000 hours). The part maintains the same voltage specification, ESR characteristics, and operating temperature range. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Selection of SLPX471M160C1P3 is appropriate for applications requiring extended component longevity without design modification.

LGW2D471MELA25 Selection Criteria:

The LGW2D471MELA25 represents an upgrade alternative with a 40 V higher voltage rating (200 V versus 160 V) and an extended maximum operating temperature of 105°C (versus 85°C). This Nichicon component delivers superior ripple current handling across both low and high frequency ranges. The lifetime rating of 3000 hours at 105°C exceeds the original specification. This substitute is suitable for applications operating at elevated ambient temperatures or requiring additional voltage margin. All regulatory compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) are maintained.

Both substitute parts are Active products with confirmed inventory availability and are suitable for direct board-level replacement without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SLPX471M160C1P3 be used as a direct replacement for LPX471M160C1P3?

A: Yes. The SLPX471M160C1P3 maintains identical capacitance (470 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (423 mOhm @ 120Hz), and mechanical dimensions. The primary difference is an extended lifetime rating of 3000 hours at 85°C compared to 1000 hours. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What are the advantages of using LGW2D471MELA25 over the original LPX471M160C1P3?

A: The LGW2D471MELA25 offers three key advantages: (1) higher voltage rating of 200 V providing additional safety margin, (2) extended operating temperature range to 105°C, and (3) superior ripple current capacity (2.17 A @ 120Hz and 3.255 A @ 50kHz). These characteristics support applications with higher thermal or electrical stress requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts mechanically compatible with the original PCB layout?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical lead spacing (10.00 mm), case diameter (25.00 mm), and seated height (25.00 mm). All are packaged as radial, can snap-in components with through-hole mounting. Direct PCB substitution is supported without layout modification.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet the same regulatory requirements as LPX471M160C1P3?

A: Yes. Both SLPX471M160C1P3 and LGW2D471MELA25 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the original part's regulatory status. ECCN and HTSUS classifications remain consistent across all three parts.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The LGW2D471MELA25 is specified for operation up to 105°C and includes a lifetime rating of 3000 hours at 105°C. This part is appropriate for applications with sustained elevated ambient temperatures. The original LPX471M160C1P3 and SLPX471M160C1P3 are rated to 85°C maximum.

Q: What is the difference in ripple current handling between the three parts?

A: The LPX471M160C1P3 supports 1.6 A @ 120Hz and 1.76 A @ 50kHz. The SLPX471M160C1P3 provides 1.86 A @ 120Hz and 2.73 A @ 20kHz. The LGW2D471MELA25 delivers the highest ripple current capacity at 2.17 A @ 120Hz and 3.255 A @ 50kHz. Selection depends on circuit ripple current requirements at specific operating frequencies.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: The LPX471M160C1P3 is supplied in standard packaging, while SLPX471M160C1P3 and LGW2D471MELA25 are supplied in bulk packaging. All three parts are identical in physical dimensions and snap-in configuration. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
