Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UBX1A471MPL is based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

• Capacitance value: 470 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (matching tolerance band)
• Voltage rating: Equal to or greater than 10 V (higher voltage ratings are acceptable in the same circuit application)
• Package type: Radial, can configuration (mechanical fit and PCB compatibility)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (PCB hole pattern compatibility)
• Polarization: Polar (functional requirement)
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -55°C ~ 150°C (thermal performance match)
• Lifetime specification: 1000 Hrs @ 150°C (reliability requirement)
• Mounting type: Through hole (assembly process compatibility)
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant (regulatory requirement)

The MAL216055471E3 meets all substitution criteria with the exception of physical dimensions, which are larger. This substitution is valid provided PCB layout accommodates the increased can diameter and height.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MAL216055471E3 is an active production part suitable for replacing the obsolete UBX1A471MPL. Both components meet ROHS3 compliance and automotive application requirements. The substitute part features a higher voltage rating (16 V versus 10 V), which provides additional design margin in the application circuit. The increased physical dimensions (can diameter and height) must be verified against PCB layout constraints prior to implementation. Both parts maintain identical lead spacing (5.00 mm), supporting direct PCB hole pattern compatibility. The substitute part's active production status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MAL216055471E3 be used as a direct replacement for the UBX1A471MPL?

A: The MAL216055471E3 is electrically compatible as a substitute. Lead spacing is identical (5.00 mm), supporting PCB hole pattern compatibility. Physical dimensions differ: the substitute has a larger can diameter (12.50 mm versus 10.00 mm) and slightly greater height (22.00 mm versus 21.50 mm). PCB layout must accommodate these dimensional differences.

Q: What is the significance of the higher voltage rating on the substitute part?

A: The MAL216055471E3 is rated at 16 V compared to the original 10 V rating. In circuit applications, a higher voltage-rated capacitor operates at lower stress levels, which can extend component lifetime and improve reliability. This substitution is valid provided the circuit voltage does not exceed the original 10 V specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the UBX1A471MPL and MAL216055471E3 are specified for automotive applications and meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. The substitute part carries AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating automotive-grade reliability standards.

Q: What is the impact of the larger physical dimensions?

A: The substitute part's increased can diameter (12.50 mm versus 10.00 mm) and height (22.00 mm versus 21.50 mm) require verification against available PCB space. If the original layout provides sufficient clearance, the substitution proceeds without modification. If space is constrained, alternative parts or PCB redesign may be necessary.

Q: Is the lead spacing compatible between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00 mm), ensuring direct compatibility with existing PCB hole patterns and through-hole assembly processes.
