Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MVKBP50VC2R2ME60TP is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

  • Capacitance: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
  • Voltage Rating: 50 V (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
  • Lifetime: 1000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
  • Polarization: Bi-Polar (exact match required)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

  • Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
  • Package Type: Radial, Can - SMD (exact match required)
  • Physical Diameter: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
  • Land Size: 0.209" L x 0.209" W (5.30mm x 5.30mm) (exact match required)

Substitute parts are classified into two categories: parametric equivalents (identical electrical and mechanical specifications) and upgrades (enhanced performance characteristics while maintaining core compatibility).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G (Parametric Equivalent):

The BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G is a direct parametric equivalent to the MVKBP50VC2R2ME60TP. Both components are manufactured by Chemi-Con within the Alchip™ MVK-BP series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G is currently in active production status, addressing the obsolescence of the original part. This substitute achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part is non-compliant. Physical dimensions and land sizes are identical, ensuring PCB layout compatibility without modification. Selection of this part is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs.

UUP1H2R2MCL1GS (Upgrade Substitute):

The UUP1H2R2MCL1GS is manufactured by Nichicon in the UUP series and functions as an upgrade substitute. This component maintains electrical equivalence across capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and lifetime specifications. The operating temperature range extends to -55°C, providing enhanced low-temperature performance compared to the original -40°C minimum. Ripple current performance is superior, with 13 mA at 120 Hz and 19.5 mA at 10 kHz, compared to 10 mA at 120 Hz for the original part. Physical height is 0.240" (6.10mm) versus 0.224" (5.70mm) for the original, requiring verification of available PCB clearance in the vertical direction. Land size remains compatible. The part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and achieves ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this part is appropriate when enhanced thermal range and ripple current performance are beneficial to circuit operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G be used as a direct replacement for MVKBP50VC2R2ME60TP?

A: Yes. The BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. No PCB layout modifications are required. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance of the substitute.

Q: What is the key difference between BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G and UUP1H2R2MCL1GS?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent at the core specifications (2.2 µF, 50 V, ±20%, 1000 Hrs @ 105°C). The UUP1H2R2MCL1GS offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 105°C) and higher ripple current ratings. The physical height differs by 0.016" (0.40mm), requiring clearance verification.

Q: Does the increased height of UUP1H2R2MCL1GS affect PCB compatibility?

A: The UUP1H2R2MCL1GS has a maximum seated height of 0.240" (6.10mm) compared to 0.224" (5.70mm) for the original part. PCB clearance in the vertical direction must be verified before selection. Land size remains identical at 0.209" L x 0.209" W.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G packaging is not specified in the provided data. UUP1H2R2MCL1GS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Packaging requirements should be confirmed with procurement specifications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For direct replacement with minimal design changes, use BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G. For applications requiring extended low-temperature operation or higher ripple current handling, use UUP1H2R2MCL1GS, subject to PCB height clearance verification.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. BMVK500ADA2R2ME60G is RoHS Compliant. UUP1H2R2MCL1GS is ROHS3 Compliant. The original MVKBP50VC2R2ME60TP is RoHS non-compliant.
