UPB1C102MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPB1C102MPD is a 1000 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as Obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers or newer product lines are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical specifications (1000 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 16 V rated voltage) while offering improved reliability metrics, extended operational lifetimes, or enhanced compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Specifications):

The 108KBM016M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor) is an active product with identical electrical specifications to the UPB1C102MPD: 1000 µF, 16 V, ±20% tolerance, 7000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, and 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing. This part is ROHS3 compliant and maintains full pin and footprint compatibility. The 108KBM016M is the preferred direct replacement for applications requiring exact electrical and mechanical equivalence.

The EEU-EB1C102 (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides an active alternative with extended lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 105°C) while maintaining identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, and lead spacing. This part is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications where extended operational life is beneficial.

For Nichicon Product Line Continuation:

The UHE1C102MPD (Nichicon, UHE series) matches the original UPB1C102MPD electrical specifications exactly (1000 µF, 16 V, ±20%, 7000 Hrs @ 105°C) with ROHS3 compliance. Physical height is reduced to 0.787" (20.00mm) compared to the original 0.846" (21.50mm), which may require PCB layout verification. This part is classified as Not For New Designs but remains available in inventory.

For Upgraded Voltage Rating:

The UHW1E102MPD (Nichicon, UHW series) and 25YXJ1000M10X20 (Rubycon, YXJ series) both provide 1000 µF capacitance at 25 V rating with extended lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 105°C). These upgrades are suitable for applications where higher voltage margin is required. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing. The 25YXJ1000M10X20 is an active product; the UHW1E102MPD is Not For New Designs.

For Alternative Manufacturers:

The 16YXF1000MEFC10X20 (Rubycon, YXF series) provides equivalent specifications (1000 µF, 16 V, ±20%, 7000 Hrs @ 105°C) with ROHS3 compliance and standard lead spacing. This part is classified as Not For New Designs but offers an alternative sourcing option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPB1C102MPD be replaced with a 25 V rated capacitor in a 16 V circuit?

A: Yes. A higher voltage-rated capacitor (25 V) is electrically compatible in a 16 V circuit. The 25 V rating provides additional voltage margin and does not affect circuit operation. The UHW1E102MPD and 25YXJ1000M10X20 are suitable upgrades offering 25 V rating with extended lifetime.

Q: What is the impact of different physical heights on PCB compatibility?

A: Physical height differences must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints. The original UPB1C102MPD has a maximum seated height of 0.846" (21.50mm). Substitute parts range from 0.591" (15.00mm) to 0.866" (22.00mm). Shorter components (UHE1C102MHD6 at 0.591") provide additional clearance; taller components (most substitutes at 0.866") require verification that PCB space accommodates the increased height. Lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00mm) is maintained across all recommended substitutes except UHV1C102MPD6, which uses 0.138" (4.60mm) spacing and requires footprint modification.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original UPB1C102MPD does not specify RoHS status. All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production.

Q: What is the difference between "Active" and "Not For New Designs" product status?

A: Active products are currently manufactured and supported by the supplier for new designs. Parts marked "Not For New Designs" are legacy products that remain available but are not recommended for new circuit designs. For new applications, prioritize active products: 108KBM016M, EEU-EB1C102, and 25YXJ1000M10X20.

Q: How does lifetime rating affect component selection?

A: Lifetime rating indicates operational hours at maximum temperature (105°C). The original UPB1C102MPD specifies 7000 Hrs @ 105°C. Substitute parts offer lifetimes ranging from 4000 to 10000 Hrs @ 105°C. Extended lifetime (10000 Hrs) provides longer operational margin; reduced lifetime (4000 Hrs) may require thermal management review. Selection depends on application duty cycle and reliability requirements.

Q: Can UHV1C102MPD6 be used as a direct replacement?

A: The UHV1C102MPD6 has different lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm versus 0.197" / 5.00mm), requiring PCB footprint modification. While electrical specifications are compatible (1000 µF, 16 V, ±20%), this part is not a direct pin-compatible replacement and should only be selected if PCB redesign is acceptable.
