SLP123M016C3P3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLP123M016C3P3 is a 12000 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics (CDE) in a radial, can snap-in package. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high capacitance values in through-hole configurations. The part is Active in product status and fully compliant with RoHS3 and REACH regulations.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained within the allowed specifications for this capacitor category. Substitution becomes necessary due to inventory availability, lead time considerations, or application-specific performance requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SLP123M016C3P3 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 12000 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• ESR @ 120Hz: 55 mOhm (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can - Snap-In (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 10.00 mm (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)

The substitute part LP123M016E3P3 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in lifetime rating and ripple current specifications do not disqualify substitution when the core functional parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SLP123M016C3P3 is the primary specification part with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C and higher ripple current ratings across both low and high frequency ranges. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended operational life and higher current handling capacity.

LP123M016E3P3 is an equivalent substitute that maintains all critical electrical parameters (capacitance, voltage, tolerance, ESR, and operating temperature range) and identical mounting specifications. The LP123M016E3P3 has a reduced lifetime rating of 1000 hours at 105°C and lower ripple current specifications. The physical diameter increases from 25.00 mm to 30.00 mm, which must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Both parts are Active products from Cornell Dubilier Electronics and maintain full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts depends on application lifetime requirements, available PCB space, and ripple current demands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LP123M016E3P3 be used as a direct replacement for SLP123M016C3P3?

A: LP123M016E3P3 is electrically equivalent in all critical parameters: capacitance (12000 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (55 mOhm @ 120Hz), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). However, the physical diameter differs (30.00 mm vs. 25.00 mm), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility. The reduced lifetime rating (1000 Hrs vs. 3000 Hrs @ 105°C) must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Lifetime rating at 105°C: SLP123M016C3P3 is rated for 3000 hours, LP123M016E3P3 for 1000 hours; (2) Physical diameter: SLP123M016C3P3 is 25.00 mm, LP123M016E3P3 is 30.00 mm; (3) Ripple current specifications vary at both low and high frequencies. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both SLP123M016C3P3 and LP123M016E3P3 are RoHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Both carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does the larger diameter of LP123M016E3P3 affect performance?

A: The diameter difference (30.00 mm vs. 25.00 mm) is a physical dimension change only. It does not affect electrical performance but requires verification that the PCB layout and mechanical enclosure can accommodate the larger can size.

Q: Which part should be selected for long-term reliability applications?

A: SLP123M016C3P3 is specified for 3000 hours at 105°C, providing extended operational life compared to LP123M016E3P3 (1000 hours at 105°C). Selection depends on the application's required service life and operating temperature profile.

Q: Are the lead spacings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing of 10.00 mm (0.394"), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility in this dimension.
