Engineering Selection Recommendations

SLP152M250H9P3 (Cornell Dubilier Electronics)

This part is a direct electrical equivalent with identical capacitance, tolerance, ESR, and lifetime specifications. The voltage rating is increased from 220 V to 250 V, which is acceptable for 220 V circuit applications and provides additional voltage margin. The primary design consideration is the increased height of 50.00 mm compared to the main part's 45.00 mm. Physical space availability in the target application must be verified before selection. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and Active status products from the same manufacturer.

LGW2E152MELC45 (Nichicon)

This part meets all critical electrical parameters: 1500 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 3000 Hrs lifetime at 105°C, and 250 V voltage rating. The operating temperature range is extended to -40°C to 105°C, providing wider low-temperature performance. The height matches the main part at 45.00 mm, eliminating space constraints. ESR data is not provided for this part. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and Active status products. The part is manufactured by Nichicon, a different supplier than the main part.

All three parts are suitable for general-purpose applications and meet current environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can SLP152M250H9P3 be used in place of SLP152M220H4P3?

Yes. The SLP152M250H9P3 has identical capacitance (1500 µF), tolerance (±20%), ESR (133 mOhm @ 120Hz), and lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C). The 250 V voltage rating is higher than the 220 V requirement, which is acceptable for direct substitution. The height difference (50.00 mm vs. 45.00 mm) must be verified against available PCB or chassis space.

Q2: What is the primary difference between SLP152M250H9P3 and LGW2E152MELC45?

Both parts have 1500 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 250 V voltage rating, and 3000 Hrs lifetime at 105°C. The SLP152M250H9P3 is manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics with 133 mOhm ESR specified. The LGW2E152MELC45 is manufactured by Nichicon with ESR not specified. The LGW2E152MELC45 has a wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and matches the main part's height (45.00 mm).

Q3: Why is the voltage rating higher on substitute parts?

Higher voltage-rated capacitors can be used in lower-voltage applications without performance degradation. A 250 V capacitor in a 220 V circuit provides additional safety margin and voltage headroom. This is standard engineering practice for component substitution.

Q4: Does the height difference of SLP152M250H9P3 affect compatibility?

The SLP152M250H9P3 is 50.00 mm tall compared to the main part's 45.00 mm. This 5.00 mm difference must be evaluated against the physical constraints of the target application, including PCB layout, chassis clearance, and component placement. If space is limited, the LGW2E152MELC45 maintains the original 45.00 mm height.

Q5: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

Yes. All three parts—SLP152M220H4P3, SLP152M250H9P3, and LGW2E152MELC45—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations for electronic components.

Q6: What is the significance of the ±20% tolerance specification?

The ±20% tolerance indicates that the actual capacitance value can vary between 1200 µF and 1800 µF. All substitute parts share this tolerance, ensuring equivalent performance characteristics in general-purpose filtering and energy storage applications where this tolerance range is acceptable.

Q7: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-ripple-current applications?

The main part specifies ripple current ratings: 3.22 A @ 120 Hz and 4.73 A @ 20 kHz. The SLP152M250H9P3 specifies 133 mOhm ESR matching the main part. The LGW2E152MELC45 does not specify ESR or ripple current values. For applications requiring specific ripple current performance, the SLP152M250H9P3 is the preferred substitute due to matching ESR specifications.
