226BPS016M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 226BPS016M is a 22 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for audio applications. The capacitor features bi-polar polarization, a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C, and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory depletion, or when alternative sourcing is required to maintain supply chain continuity. The substitute identified for this application maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified parameter tolerances.

The substitute part UVP1C220MDD meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements and maintains full regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UVP1C220MDD from Nichicon serves as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the 226BPS016M. Both components satisfy identical electrical specifications, including capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, polarization, and thermal lifetime requirements. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching lead spacing, package type, and mounting configuration.

The substitute part maintains full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component. The height difference of 0.020" (0.50mm) between the two parts remains within acceptable PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitor applications.

The primary distinction is product status: the 226BPS016M is classified as Active, while the UVP1C220MDD is classified as Obsolete. This status difference reflects manufacturer lifecycle positioning and does not affect functional equivalence or performance characteristics for the specified application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UVP1C220MDD replace the 226BPS016M in existing designs?

A: Yes. The UVP1C220MDD meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. Both components share identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (bi-polar), thermal lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), lead spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm), and package type (radial, can). Through-hole mounting compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The 226BPS016M has a maximum seated height of 0.512" (13.00mm), while the UVP1C220MDD measures 0.492" (12.50mm). This 0.020" (0.50mm) difference is within standard PCB layout tolerances for radial capacitor applications and does not affect functional performance or board-level compatibility.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 226BPS016M and UVP1C220MDD are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the difference between Active and Obsolete product status?

A: Active status indicates the manufacturer continues production and supports the component. Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. This distinction does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or regulatory compliance. The UVP1C220MDD remains functionally equivalent despite its obsolete classification.

Q: Are there differences in ripple current specifications between these parts?

A: Ripple current specifications differ between the two components. The 226BPS016M specifies 60 mA @ 120 Hz and 94.2 mA @ 50 kHz. The UVP1C220MDD specifies 57 mA @ 120 Hz and 114 mA @ 10 kHz. These differences reflect manufacturer-specific design characteristics and do not prevent functional substitution when the application requirements fall within both components' ripple current ratings.

Q: Can the substitute part be used in audio applications?

A: Yes. The UVP1C220MDD is suitable for general purpose applications, which encompasses audio circuit requirements. The electrical and thermal characteristics of the substitute part support audio application demands.
