ULD2C220MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ULD2C220MPD is a 22 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial through-hole configuration manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as not for new designs, indicating it has been superseded in Nichicon's product line. For applications requiring continued supply or design flexibility, equivalent substitute parts meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications are available from alternative manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ULD2C220MPD are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value: 22 µF (exact match required)
Voltage rating: 160 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Lifetime specification: 15000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
Package configuration: Radial, Can through-hole (exact match required)
RoHS3 compliance (required for regulatory alignment)

All substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the ULD2C220MPD in applications where the original component is specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EKXF161ELL220MJC5S (Chemi-Con) and 160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 (Rubycon) are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the ULD2C220MPD. Both substitute parts are classified as active products, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the original Nichicon component.

Selection between the two substitutes should be based on:

Product availability and lead time requirements
Existing supplier relationships and procurement processes
Compliance certifications applicable to the end application (both are ROHS3 compliant)
Height clearance considerations: The Chemi-Con part has a maximum seated height of 0.551" (14.00 mm), while both the Nichicon and Rubycon parts measure 0.571" (14.50 mm)

All three parts meet identical electrical specifications and are suitable for general-purpose applications requiring 22 µF capacitance at 160 V with 15000-hour lifetime at 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EKXF161ELL220MJC5S or 160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 be used as direct replacements for ULD2C220MPD?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 22 µF capacitance, 160 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, 15000-hour lifetime at 105°C, identical lead spacing (5.00 mm), and through-hole radial can package configuration.

Q: Are there any physical differences between these parts?

A: The maximum seated height differs slightly. The Chemi-Con EKXF161ELL220MJC5S measures 0.551" (14.00 mm), while the Nichicon ULD2C220MPD and Rubycon 160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 both measure 0.571" (14.50 mm). This 0.02" difference should be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Q: Do all three parts comply with RoHS3 requirements?

A: Yes. The ULD2C220MPD, EKXF161ELL220MJC5S, and 160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Why is the Nichicon ULD2C220MPD marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in Nichicon's product portfolio. For new designs, Nichicon recommends alternative components from their current active product lines. However, the ULD2C220MPD remains available for legacy system support and maintenance applications.

Q: What is the difference between "Direct Manufacturer Part Number" and "Parametric Equivalent"?

A: The EKXF161ELL220MJC5S (Chemi-Con) is a direct equivalent with cross-reference documentation. The 160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 (Rubycon) is a parametric equivalent, meeting all specified electrical and mechanical criteria without formal cross-reference designation.
