QAP2J225JRP Film Capacitor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The QAP2J225JRP is a 2.2 µF film capacitor rated for 630V DC, manufactured by Nichicon in the QAP series. This axial-mounted through-hole component is designed for high-frequency and switching applications using polypropylene (PP) metallized dielectric technology. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system support and maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the QAP2J225JRP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 630V DC (minimum requirement; higher ratings acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±5% (acceptable range for functional equivalence)
• Dielectric Type: Polypropylene (PP), Metallized (required for performance characteristics)
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole axial package (physical and electrical interface requirement)
• Termination Style: PC Pins (board compatibility requirement)

The MPF1634220JN meets all substitution criteria as an active-status alternative from Nichicon, providing direct functional and physical compatibility with the obsolete QAP2J225JRP.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MPF1634220JN is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete QAP2J225JRP. Both components are manufactured by Nichicon and share identical capacitance (2.2 µF) and voltage rating (630V DC) specifications. The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring availability for procurement and ongoing supply chain support.

Both parts maintain HTSUS classification 8532.25.0060 and ECCN designation EAR99, confirming regulatory alignment. The transition from the obsolete QAP series to the active MPF series represents a standard product line evolution within Nichicon's film capacitor portfolio.
