UFW0J222MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UFW0J222MPD is a 2200 µF, 6.3 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial configuration manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 85°C and is designed for audio applications. The part carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating that while it remains available in inventory, new circuit designs should evaluate current alternatives or upgraded versions to ensure long-term supply continuity and performance optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UFW0J222MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 2200 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: 6.3 V or higher (higher voltage ratings are acceptable as they provide backward compatibility)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C or higher (extended lifetime is acceptable)
• Physical dimensions: Variations permitted if lead spacing and mounting type remain unchanged

Substitute parts are classified into two categories:

Upgrade Substitutes: Parts with identical capacitance, tolerance, and package but higher voltage ratings (10 V) and equivalent or superior lifetime ratings. These provide enhanced performance margins.

Similar Substitutes: Parts with identical electrical specifications but different physical dimensions or reduced lifetime ratings. These are suitable only when space constraints or application requirements permit dimensional variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement in Existing Designs:

UFW1A222MPD and UKW1A222MPD are the preferred upgrade substitutes. Both parts maintain identical physical dimensions, lead spacing, and mounting characteristics while providing a higher voltage rating of 10 V. This voltage increase offers improved performance margin without requiring PCB layout modifications. Both parts retain the 2000-hour lifetime rating at 85°C and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

For Space-Constrained Applications:

UFG0J222MHM is a dimensional alternative with identical electrical specifications at 6.3 V and 2200 µF. However, this part carries an Obsolete product status and features a reduced lifetime rating of 1000 hours at 85°C compared to the 2000-hour rating of the main part. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when physical space limitations prevent use of the standard 10.00 mm diameter package and when the reduced lifetime is acceptable for the application.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original UFW0J222MPD specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UFW1A222MPD or UKW1A222MPD be used as direct replacements for UFW0J222MPD?

A: Yes. Both parts are direct substitutes with identical capacitance (2200 µF), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions (0.394" diameter, 0.787" height), lead spacing (0.197"), and mounting type (through-hole radial). The 10 V rating provides higher voltage margin than the original 6.3 V specification.

Q: What is the difference between UFW1A222MPD and UKW1A222MPD?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2200 µF, 10 V, ±20%, 2000 Hrs @ 85°C) and physical dimensions. The difference lies in the series designation: UFW1A222MPD belongs to the UFW series, while UKW1A222MPD belongs to the UKW series. Both are manufactured by Nichicon and are functionally equivalent.

Q: Why is UFG0J222MHM listed as a similar substitute rather than a direct substitute?

A: UFG0J222MHM differs in physical dimensions (0.492" diameter, 1.063" height versus 0.394" diameter, 0.787" height) and carries an Obsolete product status with a reduced lifetime rating of 1000 hours at 85°C. While electrical specifications match, these differences require evaluation for space constraints and application lifetime requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. UFW1A222MPD, UKW1A222MPD, and UFG0J222MHM all maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status?

A: This status indicates that while the UFW0J222MPD remains in inventory and is available for purchase, Nichicon recommends that new circuit designs evaluate the upgrade substitutes (UFW1A222MPD or UKW1A222MPD) to ensure long-term supply continuity and access to current manufacturing processes.
