• Polarization: Polar (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (identical)
• Lead Spacing: 0.138" (4.60mm) (identical)
• Size / Dimension: 0.315" Dia (8.00mm) (identical)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.531" (14.60mm) (identical)
• Series: UBW (identical)
• Manufacturer: Nichicon (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)

Differing Parameter (Upgrade Characteristic):

• Voltage - Rated: 50 V (main part) vs. 63 V (substitute)

The UBW1J220MPD represents a voltage-rated upgrade within the same physical footprint and electrical family, allowing direct substitution in applications where higher voltage margin is acceptable or required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UBW1H220MPD and UBW1J220MPD maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment for automotive and industrial applications. The primary distinction is the voltage rating: the UBW1J220MPD provides a 63 V rating compared to the 50 V rating of the UBW1H220MPD.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit voltage requirements. The UBW1J220MPD is suitable for applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed 63 V and where higher voltage margin is beneficial. The UBW1H220MPD remains the appropriate choice for circuits operating at or below 50 V where the lower voltage rating is sufficient.

Both parts share identical physical dimensions, lead spacing, and thermal characteristics, ensuring mechanical and thermal compatibility in the same PCB layout and thermal environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UBW1J220MPD directly replace the UBW1H220MPD in my circuit?

A: Yes, the UBW1J220MPD can replace the UBW1H220MPD in applications where the circuit voltage does not exceed 63 V. Both parts share identical capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 135°C), physical dimensions, and lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm). The substitute provides higher voltage rating, which is compatible with lower-voltage applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (50 V vs. 63 V), ripple current specifications, and impedance. The UBW1H220MPD has lower impedance (500 mOhms) and higher ripple current ratings (125 mA @ 120 Hz, 250 mA @ 100 kHz), while the UBW1J220MPD has higher impedance (2 Ohms) and lower ripple current ratings (65 mA @ 120 Hz, 130 mA @ 100 kHz).

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes, both the UBW1H220MPD and UBW1J220MPD are rated for automotive applications and maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status.

Q: Will the UBW1J220MPD fit in the same PCB footprint as the UBW1H220MPD?

A: Yes, both parts have identical physical dimensions (0.315" diameter), height (0.531" maximum seated height), and lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm), ensuring direct mechanical compatibility on the same PCB layout.

Q: Which part should I select for a 50 V circuit?

A: The UBW1H220MPD is the specified part for 50 V circuits. The UBW1J220MPD can also be used in 50 V circuits as it has a higher voltage rating, but the UBW1H220MPD is the original design choice.
