678D337M016CD3D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Vishay Sprague 678D337M016CD3D is a 330 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package configuration. This component is classified as Active product status and is suitable for general purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. The part features a 3000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C with ±20% capacitance tolerance and 370 mOhm equivalent series resistance at 20 Hz.

Substitute parts become necessary when the original Vishay Sprague 678D337M016CD3D reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or when design requirements mandate alternative certifications such as automotive-grade qualification or enhanced RoHS compliance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 678D337M016CD3D is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Capacitance: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 16 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 105°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00 mm) (exact match required)

The two qualified substitute parts—Nichicon UPJ1C331MPD6 and Nichicon UPM1C331MPD6—satisfy all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts maintain identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, operating temperature range, polarization, package configuration, and lead spacing as the original Vishay Sprague component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the two Nichicon substitute parts depends on application requirements and compliance mandates:

UPJ1C331MPD6 (Nichicon) is suitable for general purpose applications where ROHS3 compliance is required but automotive qualification is not mandated. This part carries "Not For New Designs" status, indicating it remains available for legacy system support and replacement applications.

UPM1C331MPD6 (Nichicon) is the appropriate selection for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification. This part also carries "Not For New Designs" status and provides ROHS3 compliance with REACH Affected designation. The AEC-Q200 rating qualifies this component for automotive-grade reliability standards.

Both substitute parts provide extended lifetime ratings of 5000 hours at 105°C compared to the original part's 3000-hour specification, representing improved thermal endurance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPJ1C331MPD6 and UPM1C331MPD6 be used interchangeably with 678D337M016CD3D?

A: Both Nichicon parts satisfy all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Physical dimensions, lead spacing, capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range are identical. Selection between the two Nichicon options depends on whether automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200) is required for the application.

Q: What is the difference between UPJ1C331MPD6 and UPM1C331MPD6?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The primary distinction is that UPM1C331MPD6 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and REACH Affected status, making it suitable for automotive applications. UPJ1C331MPD6 is designated for general purpose applications without automotive requirements.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between the original part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts maintain identical package configuration (Radial, Can), diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm), and lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm). Height specifications vary slightly: original part 0.740" (18.80 mm), UPJ1C331MPD6 0.551" (14.00 mm), and UPM1C331MPD6 0.571" (14.50 mm). These height differences remain within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitor mounting.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status on the substitute parts?

A: This designation indicates the Nichicon parts are available for replacement and legacy system support but are not recommended for new product development. For new designs, consult current component availability and manufacturer recommendations.

Q: How do RoHS compliance levels affect substitution?

A: The original 678D337M016CD3D is RoHS non-compliant. Both Nichicon substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly in regulated markets.
