Finding a substitute for the AISHI EHS2GM221M45OT 220µF 400V capacitor requires careful review of physical dimensions, capacitance, and endurance. While several options exist, none are a direct drop-in replacement.

AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

Many alternatives have different diameters or mounting styles.

Electrical riskmedium

Candidates often have lower capacitance or endurance, impacting performance and reliability.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct, drop-in replacement was found. All viable candidates have differences in size, capacitance, or endurance that require engineering review.

Best replacement path

The best path is to find a radial capacitor with 220µF, ≥400V, and dimensions close to 18x45mm. ERT187M2WL40RR is a physical fit but has lower capacitance and endurance.

Main risk

The main risks are physical incompatibility due to different case sizes and reduced system reliability from lower endurance ratings.
