Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both UWD1C560MCL1GS and UUD1C560MCL1GS are electrically and mechanically compatible with the UCD1C560MCL1GS based on matching capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, temperature range, lifetime specification, and package dimensions.

The UCD1C560MCL1GS and UUD1C560MCL1GS both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are designated for automotive applications. The UWD1C560MCL1GS is classified for general purpose applications and does not carry AEC-Q200 certification.

For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, the UUD1C560MCL1GS is the preferred parametric equivalent. The UWD1C560MCL1GS remains electrically compatible but lacks automotive-grade certification.

All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH affected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8532.22.0020.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UWD1C560MCL1GS replace UCD1C560MCL1GS in automotive applications?

A: The UWD1C560MCL1GS meets all electrical and mechanical parameters of the UCD1C560MCL1GS. However, the UWD series is classified for general purpose applications and does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Design requirements must determine whether automotive qualification is mandatory.

Q: What is the difference in height between the substitute parts?

A: The UWD1C560MCL1GS has a maximum seated height of 0.228" (5.80mm), while both the UCD1C560MCL1GS and UUD1C560MCL1GS have a maximum seated height of 0.240" (6.10mm). PCB layout clearance must accommodate the taller profile of the UCD and UUD series.

Q: Are all three parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. All three parts use identical surface mount land sizes of 0.260" L x 0.260" W (6.60mm x 6.60mm) and are mounted as surface mount components with polar orientation.

Q: What is the significance of the ripple current and impedance differences?

A: The UCD1C560MCL1GS specifies higher ripple current ratings (120 mA @ 120 Hz, 240 mA @ 100 kHz) and lower impedance (360 mOhms) compared to the UWD1C560MCL1GS and UUD1C560MCL1GS (115 mA @ 120 Hz, 230 mA @ 100 kHz, 440 mOhms). These differences reflect performance characteristics within the same capacitance and voltage class. Selection depends on circuit ripple current requirements.

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

A: For automotive applications, the UUD1C560MCL1GS is the parametric equivalent with AEC-Q200 certification matching the original UCD1C560MCL1GS. For general purpose applications, the UWD1C560MCL1GS is electrically compatible. All three parts are Active status with current inventory availability.
