Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the SLP102M180H3P3 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance value: 1000 µF (fixed requirement)
• Tolerance: ±20% (fixed requirement)
• Voltage rating: 180 V minimum (equal or higher voltage acceptable)
• Package type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (mechanical compatibility)
• Lead spacing: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (PCB footprint requirement)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (assembly compatibility)

Substitution Categories:

Upgrade Substitutes (higher voltage rating, same or better electrical performance):

• 381LX102M200A022: Voltage upgraded to 200 V, same capacitance and tolerance, identical lead spacing and diameter, increased height (32.00 mm vs. 30.00 mm)
• SLP102M200H5P3: Voltage upgraded to 200 V, same capacitance and tolerance, identical lead spacing and diameter, increased height (35.00 mm vs. 30.00 mm)

Equivalent Substitutes (same electrical specifications, different mechanical dimensions):

• SLP102M180C4P3: Identical voltage, capacitance, tolerance, and ESR; different diameter (25.00 mm vs. 35.00 mm) and height (45.00 mm vs. 30.00 mm)

Cross-Manufacturer Equivalent (different manufacturer, same electrical specifications):

• LGU2Z102MELC: Nichicon manufacturer, identical voltage, capacitance, and tolerance; same lead spacing and diameter; identical height (30.00 mm)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Specifications):

The LGU2Z102MELC (Nichicon) provides direct electrical equivalence to the SLP102M180H3P3 with identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and physical dimensions. Both parts maintain the same lead spacing (10.00 mm), diameter (35.00 mm), and height (30.00 mm). This part is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and inventory availability is a consideration. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and Active status.

Voltage-Upgraded Substitutes:

The SLP102M200H5P3 (CDE, same manufacturer) provides a voltage upgrade from 180 V to 200 V while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, and diameter. The height increases from 30.00 mm to 35.00 mm. This substitution is applicable when circuit design permits higher voltage rating and PCB clearance accommodates the increased height. The 381LX102M200A022 (CDE) also provides 200 V rating with identical diameter but slightly increased height (32.00 mm). Both upgraded parts maintain 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C and ROHS3 compliance.

Mechanical Variant Substitute:

The SLP102M180C4P3 maintains identical electrical specifications (180 V, 1000 µF, ±20%, 199 mOhm ESR) but with reduced diameter (25.00 mm vs. 35.00 mm) and increased height (45.00 mm vs. 30.00 mm). This substitution is applicable only when PCB layout permits the different form factor and mechanical clearance is available for the taller profile.

Compliance and Availability:

All substitute parts are Active status, ROHS3 compliant, and REACH unaffected. Selection should prioritize inventory availability and lead time requirements alongside electrical and mechanical compatibility with the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SLP102M200H5P3 be used as a direct replacement for the SLP102M180H3P3?

A: The SLP102M200H5P3 is electrically compatible as a substitute with the following considerations: it provides a higher voltage rating (200 V vs. 180 V), which is acceptable in applications designed for 180 V operation. The capacitance, tolerance, and ESR are identical. The physical height increases from 30.00 mm to 35.00 mm; PCB clearance and mechanical constraints must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the SLP102M180H3P3 and SLP102M180C4P3?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 1000 µF capacitance, 180 V rating, ±20% tolerance, and 199 mOhm ESR. The primary differences are mechanical: the SLP102M180C4P3 has a smaller diameter (25.00 mm vs. 35.00 mm) but greater height (45.00 mm vs. 30.00 mm). Substitution requires verification that the PCB footprint and available vertical clearance accommodate the different form factor.

Q: Is the Nichicon LGU2Z102MELC equivalent to the CDE SLP102M180H3P3?

A: The LGU2Z102MELC is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the SLP102M180H3P3. Both parts have identical capacitance (1000 µF), voltage rating (180 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (10.00 mm), diameter (35.00 mm), and height (30.00 mm). The primary difference is manufacturer. Both are ROHS3 compliant and Active status. Cross-manufacturer substitution is applicable when design specifications do not mandate a specific manufacturer.

Q: Can I use a 200 V rated capacitor in a circuit designed for 180 V?

A: Yes. A higher voltage-rated capacitor can be used in applications designed for lower voltage operation. The 381LX102M200A022 and SLP102M200H5P3 are both rated for 200 V and are suitable substitutes for 180 V applications. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin. Verify that physical dimensions (particularly height) are compatible with PCB layout and mechanical clearance.

Q: What does the lead spacing of 0.394" (10.00 mm) mean for substitution?

A: Lead spacing defines the distance between the two radial leads on the capacitor. All substitute parts listed maintain 0.394" (10.00 mm) lead spacing, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for the SLP102M180H3P3. This parameter is critical for through-hole assembly and must not vary for direct PCB compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed—381LX102M200A022, SLP102M180C4P3, SLP102M200H5P3, and LGU2Z102MELC—are ROHS3 compliant. This ensures compatibility with environmental and regulatory requirements applicable to the original SLP102M180H3P3.

Q: What is the significance of the 3000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C?

A: The 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C specifies the expected operational duration of the capacitor under maximum rated temperature conditions. All substitute parts maintain this same lifetime specification, ensuring equivalent reliability and service life in thermal stress conditions.
