AISHI
Functional alternative with higher voltage but larger case size and lower endurance rating.
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.
Many alternatives have different diameters or mounting styles.
Candidates often have lower capacitance or endurance, impacting performance and reliability.
No direct, drop-in replacement was found. All viable candidates have differences in size, capacitance, or endurance that require engineering review.
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.
The main risks are physical incompatibility due to different case sizes and reduced system reliability from lower endurance ratings.

| Feature / factor | EHS2GM221M45OT | ERH2WM221O46OT | ERT187M2WL40RR | Alt 3 | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | Radial, Can - Through Hole | Radial, Can - Through Hole | Radial, Can (18x40mm) | Radial, Can - Through Hole / Radial, Can (18x40mm) — Candidate is physically larger (22x46mm vs 18x45mm).; ERT187M2WL40RR: Diameter and lead spacing match. Shorter length is acceptable. | |
| Voltage | 400V | 450V | 450V | 450V — Higher voltage rating is a safe upgrade.; ERT187M2WL40RR: Higher voltage rating is a safe upgrade. | |
| Capacitance | 220µF | 220µF | 180µF | 220µF / 180µF — matched; ERT187M2WL40RR: Lower capacitance may affect circuit performance. | |
| Endurance | 5000h @ 105°C | 3000h @ 105°C | 2000h @ 105°C | 3000h @ 105°C / 2000h @ 105°C — Lower endurance may reduce system lifetime.; ERT187M2WL40RR: Significantly lower endurance will impact reliability. |
The best potential alternative is ERT187M2WL40RR, which fits physically but requires accepting lower capacitance (180µF) and endurance. ERH2WM221O46OT is electrically closer but is physically larger and may not fit.
