UPB1C331MPD1TA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPB1C331MPD1TA is a 330 µF, 16 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 design support and procurement continuity. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance and ripple current handling.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPB1C331MPD1TA is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 16 V (equal or higher voltage ratings are acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±20% (matching tolerance specification)
• Package Dimensions: Lead spacing 0.138" (4.60 mm), diameter 0.315" (8.00 mm), height 0.512" (13.00 mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, radial configuration
• Polarization: Polar (electrolytic)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: UTT1E331MPD1TA (Nichicon, upgraded voltage rating) and 860040374005 (Würth Elektronik, equivalent voltage rating with enhanced performance specifications).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UTT1E331MPD1TA is suitable for applications where higher voltage margin is beneficial. This Nichicon part maintains identical physical dimensions and capacitance while providing 25 V rating versus the original 16 V specification. The part is active in production with ROHS3 compliance certification.

860040374005 is suitable for applications requiring enhanced ripple current handling and extended operational lifetime. This Würth Elektronik part maintains the original 16 V voltage rating with identical physical dimensions. The part demonstrates superior ripple current performance (450 mA @ 120 Hz and 600 mA @ 100 kHz versus 195 mA and 254.6 mA respectively) and extended lifetime rating of 7000 hours at 105°C. The part is active in production with ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UTT1E331MPD1TA be used as a direct replacement for UPB1C331MPD1TA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions, and operating temperature range. The higher voltage rating (25 V versus 16 V) does not prevent substitution in circuits designed for 16 V operation.

Q: Can 860040374005 be used as a direct replacement for UPB1C331MPD1TA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), and physical dimensions. The Würth Elektronik part is pin-compatible and footprint-compatible.

Q: What are the physical compatibility requirements for substitution?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60 mm), diameter (0.315" / 8.00 mm), and height (0.512" / 13.00 mm). Through-hole mounting configuration and radial package type are preserved across all options.

Q: How do ripple current ratings affect part selection?

A: Ripple current specifications indicate the maximum AC current the capacitor can handle at specified frequencies. The 860040374005 demonstrates higher ripple current capability at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz, making it suitable for applications with elevated ripple current demands.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitute options?

A: UTT1E331MPD1TA and 860040374005 are both ROHS3 compliant. The 860040374005 additionally carries REACH compliance certification. The original UPB1C331MPD1TA compliance status is not specified in available documentation.
