Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPA0J152MPD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: capacitance value (1500 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), impedance (44 mOhms), lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm), package configuration (Radial, Can), and mounting type (Through Hole). The substitute part EEU-FK0J152L from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all these electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without modification to PCB layouts or electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UPA0J152MPD and EEU-FK0J152L maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. The EEU-FK0J152L carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, lead time requirements, and application-specific compliance mandates. Both components are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for general-purpose and automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-FK0J152L replace UPA0J152MPD in existing designs? A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C), impedance (44 mOhms), lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm), and package dimensions (0.315" Dia × 0.866" Height). No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: Are there differences in ripple current handling? A: Ripple current at low frequency (120 Hz) differs slightly: UPA0J152MPD is rated at 1.037 A, while EEU-FK0J152L is rated at 976 mA. Both are rated identically at high frequency (100 kHz) at 1.22 A. Selection should account for specific ripple current requirements in the application.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Panasonic part? A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification. The EEU-FK0J152L's AEC-Q200 rating indicates compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards, making it suitable for automotive applications where such certification is mandated.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. Both UPA0J152MPD and EEU-FK0J152L are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts? A: Both components operate across -55°C to 105°C, with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at the maximum temperature of 105°C.
