Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UCS2V220MHD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 22 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.492" Dia (12.50mm) (exact match required)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.846" (21.50mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: May be equal to or greater than the original specification
• Ripple Current: May be equal to or greater than the original specification
• Lifetime @ Temperature: May be equal to or greater than the original specification

The UCS2G220MHD qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, physical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting configuration while providing upgraded voltage rating and enhanced ripple current handling capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UCS2V220MHD and UCS2G220MHD are Active status components manufactured by Nichicon and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The UCS2G220MHD provides a voltage rating upgrade from 350 V to 400 V while preserving all mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters. This upgrade path is applicable in applications where higher voltage margin is beneficial or where circuit design specifications permit operation at the elevated voltage rating. Both components are suitable for general-purpose filtering and energy storage applications within their respective voltage specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCS2G220MHD replace the UCS2V220MHD in all applications?

A: The UCS2G220MHD is mechanically and electrically compatible with the UCS2V220MHD in applications where the circuit voltage specification does not exceed 350 V. The 400 V rating of the substitute part provides additional voltage margin and does not degrade performance in lower-voltage circuits.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), can diameter (0.492" / 12.50mm), and maximum seated height (0.846" / 21.50mm). PCB layout and mounting footprints are directly interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in ripple current handling?

A: The UCS2G220MHD provides enhanced ripple current capacity: 380 mA at 120 Hz and 760 mA at 100 kHz, compared to 325 mA and 650 mA respectively for the UCS2V220MHD. This improvement supports applications with higher AC current stress.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the UCS2V220MHD and UCS2G220MHD are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS coding (8532.22.0020).

Q: Is the capacitance tolerance identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain ±20% capacitance tolerance and are rated for 10000 hours at 105°C operating temperature.
