PL2W271MND2250 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PL2W271MND2250 is a 270 µF, 450 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Chinsan (Elite) in the PL series. This radial, can-style snap-in capacitor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and extended operational life. The component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 105°C. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, inventory optimization, and supply chain alternatives while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

• Capacitance tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical diameter: 0.866" Dia (22.00mm) (exact match required)
• Maximum seated height: 2.047" (52.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package style: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The LGG2W271MELZ50 manufactured by Nichicon satisfies all parametric equivalence criteria and is classified as a direct substitute for the PL2W271MND2250.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The LGG2W271MELZ50 is a direct parametric equivalent to the PL2W271MND2250 and is suitable for substitution in applications requiring identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components are active products with ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future manufacturing requirements.

Selection between the PL2W271MND2250 and LGG2W271MELZ50 is determined by availability, supply chain considerations, and inventory management. The Nichicon LGG2W271MELZ50 maintains significantly higher inventory levels (274,082 pieces) compared to the Chinsan PL2W271MND2250 (881 pieces), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications or extended lead-time mitigation.

Both components satisfy identical functional requirements for general-purpose applications within the specified electrical, thermal, and mechanical operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the LGG2W271MELZ50 be used as a direct replacement for the PL2W271MND2250?

A: Yes. The LGG2W271MELZ50 is a direct parametric equivalent. Both components share identical capacitance (270 µF), voltage rating (450 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 105°C), lead spacing (10.00mm), physical dimensions (22.00mm diameter, 52.00mm maximum height), mounting type (Through Hole), and package style (Radial, Can - Snap-In). Both are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Are there any differences in ripple current specifications between these parts?

A: The ripple current specifications differ between the two components. The PL2W271MND2250 specifies 1.3 A @ 120 Hz and 1.859 A @ 100 kHz. The LGG2W271MELZ50 specifies 1.05 A @ 120 Hz. Applications requiring specific ripple current performance should verify compatibility with the substitute part's ripple current rating.

Q: Do both parts have the same ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)?

A: The PL2W271MND2250 specifies 840 mOhm @ 120 Hz. The LGG2W271MELZ50 does not provide an ESR specification in the available data. Applications sensitive to ESR performance should confirm the Nichicon part's ESR characteristics through the manufacturer's technical documentation.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity ratings equivalent?

A: The PL2W271MND2250 has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited). The LGG2W271MELZ50 is listed as Not Applicable for MSL. Both ratings indicate minimal moisture sensitivity concerns for standard handling and storage conditions.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB without design modifications?

A: Yes. Both components have identical lead spacing (10.00mm), physical diameter (22.00mm), and maximum seated height (52.00mm). PCB footprints and mounting hardware designed for the PL2W271MND2250 accommodate the LGG2W271MELZ50 without modification.

Q: What is the primary reason to consider substitution?

A: Supply chain availability and inventory levels are the primary drivers for substitution consideration. The LGG2W271MELZ50 maintains substantially higher inventory availability (274,082 pieces) compared to the PL2W271MND2250 (881 pieces), supporting procurement flexibility and lead-time reduction for high-volume or time-sensitive applications.
