Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the QAP2G225KRP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±10% (matching tolerance specification)
• Voltage Rating: 400V DC (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Dielectric Type: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (functional requirement for application performance)
• Mounting Configuration: Through Hole, Axial (physical and electrical interface requirement)
• Termination Style: PC Pins (board compatibility requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (minimum environmental specification)
• Compliance Standards: RoHS3 and REACH status (regulatory requirement)

The MPF1404220KN meets all substitution criteria as a functionally equivalent alternative manufactured by Nichicon.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPF1404220KN is a direct functional equivalent to the QAP2G225KRP. Both components are manufactured by Nichicon and share identical electrical specifications: 2.2 µF capacitance, ±10% tolerance, 400V DC rating, and polypropylene metallized dielectric construction. Both are configured as through-hole axial components with PC pin termination, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in existing circuit designs.

The primary distinction is product status: the QAP2G225KRP is obsolete, while the MPF1404220KN is active and currently in production. This status difference makes the MPF1404220KN the appropriate selection for new procurement and ongoing system support. Both components share identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (8532.25.0060), indicating equivalent regulatory treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MPF1404220KN be used as a direct replacement for the QAP2G225KRP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 2.2 µF, ±10% tolerance, 400V DC rating, polypropylene metallized dielectric, through-hole axial mounting, and PC pin termination. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the QAP2G225KRP being classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured. The MPF1404220KN, classified as active, is the current production equivalent and should be specified for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these components?

A: Physical dimensions are provided only for the QAP2G225KRP (24.20mm W × 14.80mm T × 40.00mm L). Dimension data for the MPF1404220KN is not included in the provided specifications. Physical verification is necessary if space constraints are critical to the application.

Q: Do both components meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both components are classified as EAR99 for export control and share the same HTSUS tariff code (8532.25.0060). RoHS3 compliance is confirmed for the QAP2G225KRP; compliance status for the MPF1404220KN is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What parameters must match exactly for substitution to be valid?

A: Capacitance (2.2 µF), tolerance (±10%), voltage rating (400V DC), dielectric type (polypropylene metallized), mounting configuration (through-hole axial), and termination style (PC pins) must all match. Operating temperature range and compliance certifications must meet or exceed the original specification.
