Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 227BPS025M

Part Overview

The 227BPS025M is a 220 µF, 25 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 part 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 experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design flexibility permits selection from qualified alternatives that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 227BPS025M is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 220 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 25 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Bi-Polar (exact match required)
• Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C (exact match required)

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)

The substitute part UVP1E221MPD meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Height variation (0.689" vs. 0.709") falls within acceptable PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part (227BPS025M): The 227BPS025M maintains Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and continued availability. This part is the preferred selection for new designs and applications requiring long-term supply assurance.

Substitute Part (UVP1E221MPD): The UVP1E221MPD is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 227BPS025M across all critical parameters. However, this part carries "Not For New Designs" status from Nichicon, indicating the manufacturer is phasing out this product line. The UVP1E221MPD is suitable for:

• Replacement and repair applications
• Existing production runs where design changes are not feasible
• Inventory supplementation when primary part availability is constrained

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for audio applications within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVP1E221MPD be used as a direct replacement for 227BPS025M?

A: Yes. The UVP1E221MPD meets all critical electrical specifications (220 µF, 25 V, ±20% tolerance, bi-polar, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C) and mechanical specifications (radial can package, through-hole mounting, 5.00 mm lead spacing, 10.00 mm diameter). The 0.02" height difference (17.50 mm vs. 18.00 mm) is within acceptable tolerances for through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: Why is UVP1E221MPD marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates Nichicon is discontinuing this product line. New designs should prioritize the 227BPS025M (Active status) to ensure long-term supply availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. The 227BPS025M is REACH Unaffected, while UVP1E221MPD is REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, verify compliance requirements with your supply chain or regulatory team.

Q: What is the significance of the ESR specification difference?

A: The 227BPS025M specifies ESR at 1.507 Ohm @ 120 Hz. The UVP1E221MPD does not provide ESR data in the available specifications. For audio applications where ESR performance is critical, the 227BPS025M is the preferred selection.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the height variation. The UVP1E221MPD is 0.02" shorter (17.50 mm vs. 18.00 mm), which presents no mechanical interference risk in standard through-hole designs.
