Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UCS2E560MND9 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 56 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 250 V (minimum requirement)
• Tolerance: ±20% (acceptable range)
• Polarization: Polar (must match)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (must match)
• Package type: Radial, Can (must match)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C (must encompass or match)

The UCY2E560MHD meets all substitution criteria. While it features different physical dimensions and an extended lifetime rating of 12,000 hours at 105°C, the core electrical parameters remain compatible with the original specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UCY2E560MHD is the qualified substitute for the obsolete UCS2E560MND9. Selection is based on:

• All critical electrical parameters match exactly: capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range
• Both components are Nichicon aluminum electrolytic capacitors in identical radial, can packages with through-hole mounting
• The UCY2E560MHD holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• The substitute demonstrates ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Extended lifetime rating (12,000 hours vs. 10,000 hours at 105°C) provides enhanced reliability margin

Physical dimensions differ between the two parts. The UCY2E560MHD features a larger diameter (0.492" vs. 0.315") and reduced height (0.846" vs. 2.047"). PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical fit within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCY2E560MHD be used as a direct replacement for the UCS2E560MND9?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. All core parameters—capacitance, voltage, tolerance, temperature range, and polarization—are identical. However, physical dimensions differ significantly. PCB layout must accommodate the larger diameter and shorter height of the substitute before implementation.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The UCS2E560MND9 is obsolete. The UCY2E560MHD is an active product from the same manufacturer with matching electrical specifications, ensuring continued component availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The UCY2E560MHD is ROHS3 compliant, while the UCS2E560MND9 compliance status is not specified. This makes the substitute suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Q: How do the lifetime ratings compare?

A: The UCS2E560MND9 is rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C. The UCY2E560MHD is rated for 12,000 hours at 105°C. The substitute provides a 20% longer operational life under identical thermal conditions.

Q: What are the key physical differences?

A: The UCS2E560MND9 measures 0.315" diameter × 2.047" height. The UCY2E560MHD measures 0.492" diameter × 0.846" height. Lead spacing also differs: 0.138" (4.60mm) vs. 0.197" (5.00mm). These differences require PCB layout verification.

Q: Are both parts through-hole mounted?

A: Yes. Both the UCS2E560MND9 and UCY2E560MHD are through-hole radial, can package capacitors suitable for traditional PCB assembly methods.
