Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Nichicon UBT2D100MPD8 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.394" Dia (10.00mm) (exact match required)

Secondary Substitution Parameters (allowable variation):

• Voltage - Rated: Equal to or greater than 200 V
• Lifetime @ Temperature: Equal to or greater than 2000 Hrs @ 125°C
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -40°C ~ 125°C minimum
• Ripple Current Ratings: Equal to or greater than specified values
• RoHS and REACH Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status

Parts are grouped as "Upgrade" when voltage rating exceeds the original specification while maintaining all primary parameters. Parts are grouped as "Similar" when manufacturer differs but all electrical and mechanical parameters remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UBT2E100MPD8 (Nichicon Upgrade): This part is a direct upgrade within the Nichicon UBT series, offering 250 V rated voltage compared to the 200 V specification of the main part. All mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting characteristics remain identical. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status. The UBT2E100MPD8 is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin while preserving the same thermal and ripple current performance profile. The 250 V rating provides additional safety margin in circuits operating at or near 200 V nominal levels.

EKXG201ELL100MJ16S (Chemi-Con Similar): This part maintains electrical equivalence in capacitance, tolerance, and voltage rating. Physical compatibility is confirmed through identical lead spacing and radial can package configuration. The EKXG201ELL100MJ16S features a reduced seated height of 0.630" (16.00mm) compared to 0.866" (22.00mm), enabling space-constrained applications. The part delivers higher ripple current capability at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz frequencies. Operating temperature range is limited to -40°C ~ 105°C, which does not encompass the full 125°C upper limit of the original specification. REACH Unaffected status may provide regulatory advantages in certain procurement contexts. This part is suitable for general-purpose applications where the 105°C maximum operating temperature is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UBT2E100MPD8 be used as a direct replacement for UBT2D100MPD8?

A: Yes. The UBT2E100MPD8 maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, package dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting type. The 250 V rating exceeds the 200 V requirement, providing voltage margin compatibility. All mechanical and electrical interfaces are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between UBT2D100MPD8 and EKXG201ELL100MJ16S?

A: Both parts share identical capacitance, tolerance, voltage rating, and lead spacing. The EKXG201ELL100MJ16S has a shorter seated height (0.630" vs 0.866") and higher ripple current ratings. The operating temperature maximum is 105°C instead of 125°C. Manufacturer differs: Nichicon versus Chemi-Con.

Q: Is EKXG201ELL100MJ16S suitable for automotive applications?

A: The EKXG201ELL100MJ16S is designated for general-purpose applications. The original UBT2D100MPD8 is specified for automotive use. Application suitability depends on specific automotive qualification requirements and thermal operating conditions. The reduced maximum operating temperature of 105°C may limit use in high-temperature automotive environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. UBT2D100MPD8, UBT2E100MPD8, and EKXG201ELL100MJ16S are all ROHS3 compliant. REACH status differs: UBT series parts are REACH Affected; EKXG201ELL100MJ16S is REACH Unaffected.

Q: Can EKXG201ELL100MJ16S be used in circuits designed for 125°C continuous operation?

A: No. The EKXG201ELL100MJ16S maximum operating temperature is 105°C. Circuits requiring sustained operation at 125°C must use UBT2D100MPD8 or UBT2E100MPD8.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between UBT2D100MPD8 and EKXG201ELL100MJ16S?

A: UBT2D100MPD8 has a seated height of 0.866" (22.00mm); EKXG201ELL100MJ16S is 0.630" (16.00mm). The 0.236" (6.00mm) reduction enables use in space-constrained PCB layouts. Lead spacing and diameter remain identical, ensuring footprint compatibility on circuit boards designed for the original part.
