Variable Parameters Defining Substitution Categories:

Voltage - Rated: 16 V or 25 V
Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs or 4000 Hrs @ 105°C
Manufacturer: Würth Elektronik or Nichicon

The substitute parts are grouped into three categories:

Voltage Upgrade (Same Lifetime): 860080472002 increases rated voltage from 16 V to 25 V while maintaining 2000-hour lifetime, enabling use in higher voltage applications without changing thermal performance characteristics.
Lifetime Upgrade (Same Voltage): 860160372007 maintains 16 V rating while extending lifetime from 2000 to 4000 hours, suitable for applications requiring extended operational duration at elevated temperatures.
Combined Upgrade (Voltage + Lifetime): 860160472007 combines both 25 V rating and 4000-hour lifetime, providing maximum performance envelope within the mechanical and electrical constraints.
Parametric Equivalent (Alternative Manufacturer): UPS1C470MDD1TD from Nichicon matches the original 47 µF / 16 V / 2000-hour specification but carries Obsolete product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications): Use 860160372007 when the original 860080372001 is unavailable. Both maintain 47 µF / 16 V / ±20% specifications with identical mechanical footprint. The 860160372007 offers extended 4000-hour lifetime at no cost to form factor or electrical performance, making it a superior direct replacement from an Active product status perspective.

For Voltage Margin Enhancement: Select 860080472002 or 860160472007 when circuit design permits 25 V rated voltage. These parts provide voltage derating margin while maintaining identical capacitance and tolerance. The 860160472007 combines voltage upgrade with extended lifetime, suitable for applications requiring both enhanced voltage margin and extended operational duration.

For Lifetime Extension: Choose 860160372007 or 860160472007 when thermal stress analysis indicates extended operational life is required. Both parts maintain the WCAP-ATLL series designation with 4000-hour lifetime rating, doubling the thermal endurance of the original specification.

Regarding Nichicon UPS1C470MDD1TD: This part carries Obsolete product status and should not be selected for new designs. While parametrically equivalent to the original 860080372001, its discontinued status creates supply chain risk and limits long-term availability assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 860080472002 be used as a direct replacement for 860080372001?

A: Yes, with design consideration. Both parts share identical capacitance (47 µF), tolerance (±20%), and mechanical dimensions. The 860080472002 operates at 25 V rated voltage versus 16 V on the original. Direct substitution is valid when circuit voltage does not exceed 16 V, as the higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin. No circuit modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between WCAP-ATLI and WCAP-ATLL series?

A: The WCAP-ATLI series (860080372001, 860080472002) provides 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The WCAP-ATLL series (860160372007, 860160472007) extends this to 4000 hours. Both series maintain identical mechanical packaging and electrical specifications within their respective voltage ratings. Selection depends on thermal stress duration requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain 2.00 mm lead spacing, 5.00 mm diameter, and 12.50 mm maximum seated height. Through-hole mounting footprints are identical, enabling direct PCB substitution without layout modification.

Q: Why is UPS1C470MDD1TD marked Obsolete?

A: The Nichicon UPS1C470MDD1TD has been discontinued by the manufacturer. While parametrically equivalent to 860080372001, its obsolete status means future availability cannot be assured. For new designs, select from the Active Würth Elektronik alternatives to ensure long-term supply chain continuity.

Q: Can I use 860160472007 in place of 860080372001?

A: Yes. The 860160472007 is a full superset upgrade, providing 25 V rating and 4000-hour lifetime while maintaining 47 µF capacitance and identical mechanical form factor. This substitution introduces no compatibility issues and improves thermal performance margins.

Q: What ripple current differences exist between substitute parts?

A: Ripple current capacity varies with voltage rating and series designation. At 100 kHz, the 16 V parts (860080372001, 860160372007) handle 200 mA and 186 mA respectively. The 25 V parts (860080472002, 860160472007) handle 240 mA and 222 mA respectively. Selection should verify circuit ripple current requirements do not exceed the chosen part's rating.
