Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

EEU-TP1E472 (Panasonic TP-A Series)

This substitute offers a higher voltage rating of 25 V compared to the 16 V specification of the main part, providing additional voltage margin. The lifetime rating increases to 5000 hours at 125°C, and the operating temperature range extends to 135°C. This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications requiring enhanced reliability. All mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters are maintained.

UBT1C472MHD8 (Nichicon UBT Series)

This substitute maintains the 16 V voltage rating and identical mechanical footprint. The lifetime rating is significantly extended to 10000 hours at 125°C, offering superior long-term reliability. The ripple current specification at high frequency matches the main part at 3.27 A @ 100 kHz. This part is qualified for automotive applications. REACH status is listed as affected, requiring verification for specific regulatory compliance requirements.

Both substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued regulatory alignment with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-TP1E472 be used as a direct replacement for EEU-TA1C472?

A: Yes. The EEU-TP1E472 maintains identical capacitance (4700 µF), tolerance (±20%), and mechanical dimensions. The higher voltage rating (25 V vs. 16 V) and extended temperature range (-40°C to 135°C) provide enhanced performance margins. All through-hole mounting parameters and package dimensions are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between UBT1C472MHD8 and the main part?

A: The UBT1C472MHD8 maintains the same voltage rating (16 V) and mechanical compatibility but offers a significantly extended lifetime of 10000 hours at 125°C compared to 2000 hours for the EEU-TA1C472. This makes it suitable for applications requiring extended operational life.

Q: Are all substitute parts through-hole mounted?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts use through-hole mounting with identical lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm) and package dimensions (0.709" diameter, 1.319" height maximum).

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts have identical mechanical specifications: 0.709" diameter, 1.319" maximum seated height, and 0.295" lead spacing. They are direct mechanical replacements.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for automotive applications?

A: Both EEU-TP1E472 and UBT1C472MHD8 carry automotive qualifications. EEU-TP1E472 holds AEC-Q200 certification, while UBT1C472MHD8 is designated for automotive use. Selection depends on specific voltage margin and lifetime requirements.

Q: What is the impact of the voltage rating difference in EEU-TP1E472?

A: The 25 V rating in EEU-TP1E472 versus 16 V in the main part provides additional voltage headroom. In a 16 V application, this creates a safety margin. The higher voltage rating does not affect capacitance or physical compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant. UBT1C472MHD8 lists REACH status as affected, requiring verification against specific regulatory requirements for your application. EEU-TP1E472 lists REACH status as unaffected.
