Is there a pin-compatible replacement for VES221M1CTR-0607?

No replacement has been verified as 100% pin-compatible without review. The Lelon VZT221M1ETR-0607 shares the same 6.3mm diameter footprint but is slightly taller. It is considered form-fit compatible, but not a guaranteed drop-in replacement without checking height clearance.

What risks should I check before replacing VES221M1CTR-0607?

Before replacing, you must check three main risks: 1) Package Height: Ensure the replacement part is not too tall for your board. 2) ESR: Verify the Equivalent Series Resistance is low enough for your application. 3) Ripple Current: Confirm the replacement can handle the required ripple current.

VES221M1CTR-0607 Alternatives, Datasheet & Cross Reference | lelon

Finding a substitute for the Lelon VES221M1CTR-0607, a 220µF 16V capacitor, requires careful attention to its compact 6.3x5.3mm package. While electrically similar parts are available, most are physically larger, making package dimensions the primary challenge.

AI replacement insight

Package riskmedium

Most alternatives are taller. Even the best match is 0.5mm taller, requiring clearance verification.

Electrical risklow

Candidates offer higher voltage ratings, which is a safe upgrade. ESR and ripple current must still be checked.

Sourcing risklow

Multiple manufacturers produce similar parts, but package constraints limit options.

Can it be replaced directly?

No confirmed direct drop-in replacement exists without verification. The Lelon VZT221M1ETR-0607 is the closest functional match but is 0.5mm taller, requiring a check of mechanical clearance.

Best replacement path

The Lelon VZT221M1ETR-0607 is the strongest candidate, offering upgraded voltage and endurance from the same manufacturer. However, its slightly increased height (0.5mm) must be verified.

Main risk

Package height incompatibility is the primary risk when replacing this component. Most alternatives with similar electrical ratings are physically larger.

Recommended alternatives

Strong functional alternative from the same manufacturer with a higher voltage rating and longer life, but is slightly taller.
