Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—PL2W271MND3030 (Chinsan), 450MXH270MEFCSN30X30 (Rubycon), and LGL2W271MELB30 (Nichicon)—are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance. Each part satisfies identical electrical and mechanical specifications, making them functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Selection between these parts is based on availability, lead time, and inventory levels rather than technical performance differences. The Nichicon LGL2W271MELB30 offers the highest inventory availability at 274,082 pieces. The Rubycon 450MXH270MEFCSN30X30 provides 1,156 pieces in stock. The Chinsan PL2W271MND3030 maintains 1,068 pieces in inventory.

All parts are suitable for general-purpose high-voltage filtering and energy storage applications operating within the specified temperature range of -25°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 450MXH270MEFCSN30X30 (Rubycon) be used as a direct replacement for the PL2W271MND3030 (Chinsan)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (270 µF), voltage rating (450 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime rating (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 105°C), and mechanical dimensions (30 mm diameter, 32 mm height, 10 mm lead spacing). The snap-in radial can package and through-hole mounting type are identical. Both are ROHS3 compliant and Active status.

Q: What are the differences between the three substitute parts?

A: The three parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Differences exist only in ripple current specifications at different frequencies and manufacturer-specific certifications (REACH status). The Nichicon part lists REACH Unaffected status, while the Rubycon part also lists REACH Unaffected. Ripple current performance varies slightly between manufacturers but does not affect substitution eligibility for general-purpose applications.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts have identical lead spacing (0.394" / 10.00 mm), diameter (1.181" / 30.00 mm), and seated height (1.260" / 32.00 mm). They are all packaged as radial, can-style snap-in components with through-hole mounting, ensuring PCB compatibility without modification.

Q: Do all parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The PL2W271MND3030, 450MXH270MEFCSN30X30, and LGL2W271MELB30 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for electronic components.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: The LGL2W271MELB30 (Nichicon) has the highest inventory at 274,082 pieces. The 450MXH270MEFCSN30X30 (Rubycon) has 1,156 pieces available. The PL2W271MND3030 (Chinsan) has 1,068 pieces in stock. Selection should be based on project lead time requirements and supply chain considerations.
