Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the LPX561M250C7P3 maintain electrical equivalence based on the following critical parameters: capacitance value (560 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), and mechanical compatibility (radial can snap-in package, 10.00 mm lead spacing, 25.00 mm diameter).

The SLPX561M250C5P3 represents an upgraded variant within the Cornell Dubilier Electronics product line, offering extended thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C) while maintaining identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, ESR, and package geometry.

The LLS2E561MELA from Nichicon provides an alternative manufacturer source meeting the same electrical and mechanical specifications with extended thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C) and identical package configuration.

All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant, maintain through-hole mounting compatibility, and preserve the snap-in package form factor for direct mechanical and electrical substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three components maintain active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory consistency across alternative selections.

The LPX561M250C7P3 provides baseline specifications suitable for general-purpose applications with standard thermal expectations.

The SLPX561M250C5P3 offers extended thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C versus 1000 Hrs) while remaining within the Cornell Dubilier Electronics product family, providing an upgrade path for designs requiring enhanced long-term reliability. The reduced maximum height (35 mm versus 40 mm) offers spatial advantages in constrained board layouts.

The LLS2E561MELA delivers equivalent thermal performance (3000 Hrs @ 85°C) and identical mechanical fit with Nichicon manufacturing, providing supply chain flexibility and alternative sourcing when CDE components are unavailable. The reduced maximum height matches the SLPX variant, accommodating compact designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SLPX561M250C5P3 and LLS2E561MELA be used as direct drop-in replacements for LPX561M250C7P3?

A: Both components are mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution. The SLPX561M250C5P3 and LLS2E561MELA share identical lead spacing (10.00 mm), body diameter (25.00 mm), and mounting configuration (through-hole snap-in). The reduced maximum height (35 mm versus 40 mm) on both substitutes requires clearance verification in space-constrained applications but does not affect electrical performance or pin compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The primary distinction is thermal lifetime at 85°C: the LPX561M250C7P3 specifies 1000 Hrs, while both SLPX561M250C5P3 and LLS2E561MELA provide 3000 Hrs. All three parts maintain identical capacitance (560 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), and mounting configuration. ESR at 120 Hz is specified as 355 mOhm for both CDE variants; the Nichicon LLS2E561MELA does not specify ESR in the provided data.

Q: Are there packaging or compliance differences?

A: All components are RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. The LPX561M250C7P3 is specified with snap-in packaging; SLPX561M250C5P3 and LLS2E561MELA are bulk packaged. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for the main part and Not Applicable for both substitutes. These distinctions affect handling and storage protocols but not functional equivalence.

Q: Which substitute part is preferred for long-term reliability applications?

A: Both SLPX561M250C5P3 and LLS2E561MELA offer tripled thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 85°C) relative to the LPX561M250C7P3, supporting extended operational life in temperature-constrained environments. Selection between manufacturers depends on supply chain requirements and organizational sourcing preferences.
