Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)

Secondary Considerations:

Lifetime @ Temp.: 8000 Hrs @ 105°C or greater
Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -25°C ~ 105°C
Physical dimensions (diameter and height) must accommodate PCB layout constraints

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Performance): Select EEU-ED2C470 when PCB layout permits reduced height (20.00mm vs. 22.00mm). This Panasonic part maintains identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, and lifetime specifications while offering a more compact footprint. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production.

For Extended Operational Lifetime: UCY2C470MPD (Nichicon) provides 12000-hour lifetime at 105°C versus 8000 hours for the EEU-EE2C470, with extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). Physical dimensions are compatible with standard PCB layouts. This part is active and ROHS3 compliant.

For Voltage Margin Enhancement: UCY2D470MPD (Nichicon) or EKXJ201ELL470MJ20S (Chemi-Con) offer 200 V rating with 12000-hour and 10000-hour lifetimes respectively. Both maintain 47 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. EKXJ201ELL470MJ20S includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are active and ROHS3 compliant.

For Compact Footprint with Matching Specifications: UCS2C470MPD (Nichicon) matches the EEU-EE2C470 in electrical parameters with height of 21.50mm and extended temperature range. This part is active and ROHS3 compliant.

Avoid: UCA2C470MHD is obsolete and should not be selected for new designs despite extended lifetime specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-EB2C470 replace EEU-EE2C470 in all applications? A: EEU-EB2C470 is electrically equivalent but has reduced lifetime (5000 Hrs @ 105°C vs. 8000 Hrs) and larger diameter (12.50mm vs. 10.00mm). Substitution is valid only if application lifetime requirements do not exceed 5000 hours at 105°C and PCB layout accommodates the larger diameter.

Q: What is the advantage of UCY2C470MPD over EEU-EE2C470? A: UCY2C470MPD extends operational lifetime to 12000 hours at 105°C and provides wider temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C vs. -25°C ~ 105°C). Physical dimensions are compatible. Both are active production parts.

Q: Are 160 V and 200 V rated parts interchangeable? A: A 200 V rated capacitor (UCY2D470MPD, EKXJ201ELL470MJ20S) can replace a 160 V rated part in the same circuit. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin. Reverse substitution (160 V for 200 V) is not acceptable.

Q: Does EKXJ201ELL470MJ20S automotive qualification affect general-purpose applications? A: No. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability testing and is suitable for any application. This part meets or exceeds general-purpose requirements.

Q: What is the impact of different ripple current ratings? A: Ripple current capacity varies among substitutes. Selection should confirm that circuit ripple current does not exceed the substitute part's rated ripple current at the operating frequency. Refer to detailed specifications for 120 Hz and 100 kHz ratings.

Q: Can UCA2C470MHD be used in new designs? A: No. UCA2C470MHD is obsolete and should not be selected for new designs. Use active alternatives such as UCY2C470MPD or UCS2C470MPD.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.
