Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UPA1E331MPD1TA and UPA1E331MPD1TD are functionally equivalent for circuit applications requiring a 330 µF, 25 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor with through-hole radial mounting. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, supply chain lead times, or procurement preferences, as all electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications are identical.

Both parts maintain active production status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory adherence, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory consistency in manufacturing environments subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPA1E331MPD1TD be used as a direct replacement for UPA1E331MPD1TA?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including capacitance, voltage rating, temperature performance, ripple current capability, physical dimensions, and lead spacing. Direct substitution is valid for any application using the UPA1E331MPD1TA.

Q: Are there any differences in thermal performance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are rated for 3000 hours at 105°C and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C with matching impedance and ripple current specifications.

Q: Do both parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. The UPA1E331MPD1TA and UPA1E331MPD1TD share identical physical dimensions (0.315" diameter, 0.512" maximum height) and lead spacing (0.138" or 4.60 mm), ensuring compatibility with the same through-hole PCB layout.

Q: Are compliance certifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory status, meeting the same environmental and hazardous substance requirements.

Q: What distinguishes these two part numbers if they are equivalent?

A: The part numbers differ only in their suffix designation (MPD1TA versus MPD1TD), which typically reflects internal manufacturing or packaging batch tracking by Nichicon. All functional and performance specifications remain identical.
