SH470M200ST Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The SH470M200ST is a 47 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE). This component is classified as obsolete, with 848 pieces currently in stock. The part is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting with 5.00 mm lead spacing.

Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers are necessary for new designs, production continuity, and long-term component availability. The following substitute parts maintain the core electrical specifications while offering improved product status and extended operational lifetimes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Critical Matching Parameters:

Capacitance: 47 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 200 V (exact match or higher voltage acceptable)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" / 5.00 mm (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
Package: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting: Through Hole (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 105°C minimum
Lifetime @ 105°C: 2000 hours minimum (extended lifetimes acceptable)
RoHS3 Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
Can Diameter: 12.50 mm to 13.00 mm (minor dimensional variation acceptable within mechanical envelope)
Height: Variation acceptable if within PCB clearance constraints

Substitutes are grouped into two categories:

Direct Substitutes (Same Voltage Rating - 200V): Parts maintaining identical 200 V voltage rating with equivalent or superior electrical characteristics and extended operational lifetimes.
Upgrade Substitutes (Higher Voltage Rating - 250V): Parts with elevated voltage rating providing additional design margin and reliability enhancement while maintaining all other critical parameters.

EEU-EB2E470 (Panasonic) — 47 µF, 250 V, 5,000 hours @ 105°C. Active product status. Higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin. Increased height (27.00 mm) requires PCB clearance verification. ROHS3 compliant. 898 units in stock.

Selection Criteria:

Lifetime Requirement: If application demands extended operational life (>5,000 hours @ 105°C), select EEU-ED2D470 or 200BXC47MEFC12.5X20.
Space Constraint: If PCB height is limited, prioritize parts with 20.00 mm or 21.00 mm height (EEU-ED2D470, EEU-EB2D470, SEK470M200ST).
Voltage Margin: If design permits, EEU-EB2E470 (250V) provides additional reliability margin.
Manufacturer Preference: CDE/Illinois Capacitor parts maintain original manufacturer continuity; Panasonic and Rubycon parts offer superior lifetime ratings.
Inventory Availability: EEU-ED2D470 and 200BXC47MEFC12.5X20 offer highest stock levels (7,040 and 5,882 units respectively).

All recommended substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and through-hole radial can package configuration with 5.00 mm lead spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I use a 250V rated capacitor (EEU-EB2E470) in place of the 200V SH470M200ST?

A: Yes. A higher voltage rating is electrically compatible and provides additional design margin. However, the increased height (27.00 mm vs. 25.00 mm) requires verification of available PCB clearance. Confirm mechanical fit before assembly.

Q2: What is the difference between "Active" and "Obsolete" product status?

A: Active products are currently manufactured and supported by the supplier with guaranteed long-term availability. Obsolete products are no longer manufactured; existing stock is limited and future supply is not guaranteed. For new designs, select active-status parts (SEK470M200ST, 200BXC47MEFC12.5X20, 476CKE200M, EEU-EB2D470, EEU-ED2D470, EEU-EB2E470).

Q3: Why do some substitutes have different can diameters (12.50 mm vs. 13.00 mm)?

A: The original SH470M200ST has a 13.00 mm diameter can. Most substitutes use 12.50 mm diameter, which is mechanically compatible within standard PCB hole tolerances. Verify PCB pad diameter and hole size accommodate the substitute part diameter. Typical through-hole pads (0.040" to 0.050" diameter) accept both sizes.

Q4: What does "Lifetime @ 105°C" mean, and why does it vary?

A: This specification indicates the expected operational life of the capacitor when operated continuously at maximum rated temperature (105°C). Extended lifetimes (5,000 to 12,000 hours) indicate superior internal construction and materials. For applications with continuous operation at elevated temperatures, select parts with 5,000+ hour ratings.

Q5: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the regulatory status of the original SH470M200ST. This ensures compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Q6: Can I substitute based on ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) values?

A: ESR is not provided for most substitute parts in this reference. The original SH470M200ST specifies 4.23 Ohm @ 120 Hz. While ESR affects ripple current handling and thermal performance, substitution is determined by the core parameters: capacitance, voltage, tolerance, lead spacing, and package type. If ESR is critical for your application, contact the manufacturer for detailed specifications.

Q7: What is the difference between ripple current @ 120 Hz and @ 10 kHz?

A: Ripple current specifications indicate the maximum AC current the capacitor can handle at different frequencies without exceeding temperature limits. Low-frequency ripple (120 Hz) is typical for power supply applications; high-frequency ripple (10 kHz to 100 kHz) is typical for switching power supplies. Select a substitute with ripple current ratings equal to or exceeding your application requirements at the relevant frequency.

Q8: If my PCB has 5.00 mm lead spacing, will all substitutes fit?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. However, verify can diameter (12.50 mm vs. 13.00 mm) and height clearance before assembly.

Q9: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: EEU-ED2D470 (Panasonic) and 200BXC47MEFC12.5X20 (Rubycon) are recommended for long-term designs. Both are active products with extended operational lifetimes (10,000 and 12,000 hours respectively) and high inventory levels (7,040 and 5,882 units). Panasonic and Rubycon are established manufacturers with consistent product support.

Q10: Can I use SEK470M200ST as a direct replacement for SH470M200ST?

A: Yes. SEK470M200ST is manufactured by the same company (CDE) and maintains identical electrical specifications (47 µF, 200 V, ±20%, 2000 hours @ 105°C). It is active-status with extended operating temperature range (-40°C vs. -25°C). Height is reduced from 25.00 mm to 21.00 mm, which may improve PCB layout. This is the recommended choice for maintaining original manufacturer continuity.
