• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm) (exact match required)

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• ESR: Equivalent or lower values acceptable
• Lifetime @ 105°C: 2000 hours or greater acceptable
• Operating Temperature Range: Extended ranges acceptable
• Ripple Current: Equal or higher values acceptable
• Case Diameter: Minor dimensional variations within manufacturing tolerance acceptable
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant required

The substitute parts listed below meet all critical matching parameters and maintain electrical performance specifications equal to or exceeding the original SH220M063ST.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SEK220M063ST (Upgrade Substitute - Recommended for New Designs)

The SEK220M063ST is the preferred substitute for the obsolete SH220M063ST. This part is manufactured by the same supplier (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) and maintains identical electrical specifications including 22 µF capacitance, 63 V rating, ±20% tolerance, and 6.03 Ohm ESR. The SEK220M063ST carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) provides improved performance margin compared to the original part. ROHS3 compliance and higher inventory levels (2408 units) support production requirements. This part is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and existing applications.

UPW1J220MED (Direct Substitute - Alternative Option)

The UPW1J220MED manufactured by Nichicon provides electrical equivalence with identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and lifetime specifications. This part features superior high-frequency ripple current capability (250 mA @ 100 kHz) compared to the original SH220M063ST (126 mA @ 10 kHz), making it suitable for applications with elevated AC ripple requirements. The UPW1J220MED carries Obsolete product status but maintains substantial inventory availability (8244 units). Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and ROHS3 compliance are maintained. This part serves as a functional equivalent for applications where cross-manufacturer substitution is acceptable.

Product Status Considerations

Both substitute parts address the obsolescence of the original SH220M063ST. The SEK220M063ST, with Active status, is recommended for long-term design continuity. The UPW1J220MED, despite Obsolete classification, provides immediate availability through existing inventory channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the SEK220M063ST be used as a direct replacement for the SH220M063ST in existing applications?

A: Yes. The SEK220M063ST matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the SH220M063ST, including capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (63 V), tolerance (±20%), ESR (6.03 Ohm), lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm), and mounting type (Through Hole Radial, Can). The case diameter increases from 0.236" (6.00mm) to 0.248" (6.30mm), which remains within acceptable PCB layout tolerances for radial can packages. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the SEK220M063ST and UPW1J220MED?

A: Both parts meet the core electrical specifications (22 µF, 63 V, ±20%, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C). The primary differences are manufacturer (Cornell Dubilier vs. Nichicon), product status (Active vs. Obsolete), and ripple current performance. The UPW1J220MED provides higher ripple current at high frequencies (250 mA @ 100 kHz vs. 126 mA @ 10 kHz for the original), making it suitable for applications with greater AC stress. The SEK220M063ST is recommended for new designs due to Active status.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The lead spacing remains constant at 0.098" (2.50mm) across all three parts, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints. The case diameter increases slightly from 0.236" (6.00mm) to 0.248" (6.30mm) for both substitute parts, which is within standard manufacturing tolerance for radial can packages and does not require PCB redesign. Height remains constant at 0.433" (11.00mm) maximum.

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

A: The SEK220M063ST is the recommended choice for new designs. This part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. It is manufactured by the same supplier as the original part (Cornell Dubilier Electronics), maintains identical electrical specifications, and provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). Higher inventory levels support production scaling.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the SEK220M063ST and UPW1J220MED are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts operate across -55°C to 105°C, compared to the original SH220M063ST range of -40°C to 105°C. This extended lower temperature limit provides improved performance margin in applications subject to cold environment exposure or thermal cycling stress, without affecting performance in standard operating conditions.
