Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 227BPS063M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Capacitance value: 220 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 63 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 ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Ripple current specifications at 120 Hz: 575 mA (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) (exact match required)
• Case diameter: 0.630" (16.00mm) (exact match required)
• Height (seated max): 1.063" (27.00mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)
• ECCN: EAR99 (required)
• HTSUS: 8532.22.0020 (required)

Substitute parts must match all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters to ensure direct interchangeability without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: 227BPS063M (Cornell Dubilier)

The 227BPS063M is the recommended primary selection for new designs. This part carries Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability. The component is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. With 1027 units in current inventory, supply continuity is assured for production requirements.

Substitute Selection: UVP1J221MHD (Nichicon)

The UVP1J221MHD from Nichicon is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 227BPS063M across all critical parameters: capacitance (220 µF), voltage rating (63 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (Bi-Polar), lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and ripple current at 120 Hz (575 mA). Physical dimensions and lead spacing are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution without layout modification.

Compliance Consideration:

The UVP1J221MHD carries a "Not For New Designs" product status and is REACH Affected, whereas the 227BPS063M is REACH Unaffected. For new product development, the 227BPS063M is the appropriate selection. The UVP1J221MHD is suitable for legacy system maintenance, repair, or replacement applications where the original part specification must be maintained.

Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8532.22.0020, meeting export and trade compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UVP1J221MHD directly replace the 227BPS063M on a PCB without modification?

A: Yes. The UVP1J221MHD is mechanically and electrically equivalent. Lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm), case diameter (0.630" / 16.00mm), and height (1.063" / 27.00mm) are identical. Both are radial, through-hole components with matching electrical specifications. No board layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference in ripple current specifications between these parts?

A: The 227BPS063M specifies ripple current at 50 kHz (856.75 mA), while the UVP1J221MHD specifies ripple current at 10 kHz (862.5 mA). Both parts meet the 120 Hz ripple current requirement of 575 mA. The frequency difference reflects different measurement standards between manufacturers but does not affect substitution compatibility for the specified application.

Q: Why is the UVP1J221MHD marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates that Nichicon has discontinued active development and marketing of this series. The part remains available for existing applications and legacy system support. For new product development, the 227BPS063M (Active status) is the recommended selection to ensure long-term availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification. The 227BPS063M is REACH Unaffected, while the UVP1J221MHD is REACH Affected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the 227BPS063M is the preferred choice. Both parts meet HTSUS classification 8532.22.0020.

Q: What is the significance of the Bi-Polar polarization specification?

A: Bi-Polar polarization indicates that this capacitor can operate with either polarity applied, making it suitable for AC coupling and audio applications where polarity reversal may occur. Both the 227BPS063M and UVP1J221MHD share this specification, confirming compatibility for audio circuit applications.

Q: How do the ESR specifications affect substitution?

A: The 227BPS063M specifies ESR of 904 mOhm @ 120Hz. The UVP1J221MHD does not provide ESR data in the available specifications. For applications where ESR is a critical design parameter, the 227BPS063M provides documented performance. For general-purpose applications, the absence of specified ESR in the substitute part does not prevent substitution, as the ripple current and lifetime specifications remain equivalent.
