UHM0J152MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UHM0J152MPD is a 1500 µF, 6.3 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and low impedance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for UHM0J152MPD is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Requirements:

Capacitance: 1500 µF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 6.3 V (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Mechanical Requirements:

Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)

Acceptable Variations:

Lifetime @ 105°C: May exceed 2000 hours (higher values acceptable)
Impedance: May vary within acceptable operating parameters
Lead Spacing: May vary (4.60mm or 5.00mm acceptable for through-hole radial cans)
Physical Dimensions: Height and diameter may vary within radial can specifications
RoHS/REACH Compliance: May differ from original part

Substitute parts must match all electrical specifications and mounting characteristics. Variations in lifetime, impedance, and physical dimensions are acceptable provided the component functions within the same electrical operating envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production (Recommended Primary Choices):

EEU-FM0J152B (Panasonic) and EEU-FR0J152LB (Panasonic) are active products with ROHS3 compliance and established supply chains. EEU-FM0J152B offers 5000-hour lifetime with 19 mOhms impedance and 5.00 mm lead spacing, matching the original footprint. EEU-FR0J152LB provides extended 9000-hour lifetime with 30 mOhms impedance and identical lead spacing, suitable for applications requiring enhanced reliability.

EKY-6R3ELL152MJ20S (Chemi-Con) and EKZE6R3ELL152MJ20S (Chemi-Con) are active alternatives with ROHS3 compliance. Both maintain 5.00 mm lead spacing and radial can package. EKZE6R3ELL152MJ20S matches the original 4000-hour lifetime specification with 23 mOhms impedance.

For Legacy System Maintenance:

UHD0J152MPD (Nichicon) provides 4000-hour lifetime with 23 mOhms impedance, closely matching the electrical performance envelope of the obsolete UHM0J152MPD. UHE0J152MPD (Nichicon) extends lifetime to 6000 hours with 46 mOhms impedance. Both are classified as "Not For New Designs" but remain available for existing system support.

Lead Spacing Consideration:

UHV0J152MPD (Nichicon) and EEU-FR0J152L (Panasonic) feature 4.60 mm lead spacing, differing from the original 5.00 mm. These parts are electrically equivalent but require PCB layout modification for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute UHM0J152MPD with any part having 1500 µF and 6.3 V rating?

A: No. Substitution requires exact match of capacitance (1500 µF), voltage (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), mounting type (through hole), and package (radial can). Physical dimensions and lifetime may vary.

Q: What is the difference between EEU-FM0J152 and EEU-FM0J152B?

A: Both are electrically identical 1500 µF, 6.3 V capacitors with 5000-hour lifetime and 19 mOhms impedance. The primary difference is packaging: EEU-FM0J152 is supplied in bulk, while EEU-FM0J152B is supplied in cut tape format.

Q: Can I use a 10 V rated capacitor as a substitute for the 6.3 V UHM0J152MPD?

A: No. The voltage rating must match exactly at 6.3 V. Using a higher voltage rating changes the electrical characteristics and is not an acceptable substitution.

Q: Does lead spacing affect compatibility?

A: Yes. Lead spacing of 4.60 mm (UHV0J152MPD, EEU-FR0J152L) differs from the original 5.00 mm spacing. Direct PCB mounting requires matching lead spacing unless the board layout is modified.

Q: Are Panasonic and Chemi-Con parts fully compatible with Nichicon originals?

A: Yes, provided all electrical parameters match exactly: 1500 µF, 6.3 V, ±20% tolerance, polar, through-hole radial can. Manufacturer differences do not affect electrical compatibility when specifications are identical.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term reliability?

A: EEU-FR0J152LB (Panasonic) provides 9000-hour lifetime at 105°C, the highest among available substitutes. This extended lifetime is suitable for applications requiring maximum operational durability.

Q: Can I use parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: Yes, for legacy system maintenance and repair. These parts remain available and electrically compatible. However, for new product development, active status parts (Panasonic FM-A, FR-A series, and Chemi-Con KY, KZE series) are recommended.
