UPB2D220MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPB2D220MPD is a 22 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This part is classified as obsolete, with 625 units currently in stock. The UPB series offers a 5000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting.

Due to the obsolete status of the UPB2D220MPD, equivalent and substitute parts from active product lines are necessary to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity. Direct replacements and upgraded alternatives are available from Nichicon and other manufacturers with improved performance characteristics, including extended lifetime ratings and enhanced compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Footprint and Performance):

UCS2D220MPD is the primary recommendation for direct substitution. This part maintains the same 22 µF / 200 V electrical specification and identical mechanical dimensions as the UPB2D220MPD. The UCS2D220MPD offers extended lifetime (8000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs), active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and an expanded operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). This part is suitable for applications where the original footprint and electrical characteristics must be preserved.

For Enhanced Reliability (Extended Lifetime):

UCY2D220MPD and UCY2D220MPD1TD provide the highest lifetime rating (12000 Hrs @ 105°C) within the Nichicon product line. Both parts maintain 22 µF / 200 V specifications with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. UCY2D220MPD1TD is available in Cut Tape packaging with significantly higher inventory (7528 units). Note: These parts have a reduced height (0.689" vs. 0.846"), which may require PCB layout verification.

For Voltage Margin Applications:

UCS2E220MPD and UCY2E220MPD offer 250 V ratings while maintaining 22 µF capacitance. These parts provide additional voltage headroom for circuits operating near the 200 V limit. UCY2E220MPD combines the highest lifetime rating (12000 Hrs) with 250 V rating and active status.

For Higher Voltage Requirements:

UCY2V220MPD9 provides 350 V rating with 22 µF capacitance and 12000-hour lifetime. This part is suitable for applications requiring significant voltage margin or operating in higher-voltage circuits.

For Multi-Source Strategy:

226TXK200M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor) and 200BXC22MEFC10X20 (Rubycon) provide alternative manufacturer sources for 22 µF / 200 V specifications. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance. 226TXK200M matches the original 5000-hour lifetime, while 200BXC22MEFC10X20 offers extended 10000-hour lifetime.

Compliance Considerations:

All recommended substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance. Nichicon UCY series parts are marked as REACH Affected, while UCS series and alternative manufacturers are REACH Unaffected. Select based on supply chain compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a higher voltage-rated capacitor as a substitute?

A: Yes. A capacitor rated for 250 V or 350 V can replace a 200 V part in the same circuit. Higher voltage ratings provide additional safety margin and do not degrade circuit performance. The capacitance value (22 µF) and physical dimensions must remain compatible with the PCB layout.

Q: What is the difference between UCS2D220MPD and UCY2D220MPD?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications (22 µF, 200 V, ±20% tolerance). The primary differences are: UCY2D220MPD has extended lifetime (12000 Hrs vs. 8000 Hrs), lower operating temperature minimum (-40°C vs. -40°C, equivalent), and reduced physical height (0.689" vs. 0.846"). The UCY series is recommended for applications requiring maximum reliability and longer service life.

Q: Does the height difference between UPB2D220MPD (0.846") and UCY2D220MPD (0.689") affect compatibility?

A: The reduced height of UCY2D220MPD is a physical advantage that improves PCB space utilization. However, PCB layout must be verified to ensure the shorter component does not create clearance issues with adjacent components or enclosure constraints. The lead spacing (5.00 mm) and case diameter (10.00 mm) remain identical, so through-hole mounting compatibility is maintained.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: UPB2D220MPD is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: Bulk (standard), Cut Tape (CT) for automated assembly, and Tape & Reel configurations. UCY2D220MPD1TD is specifically available in Cut Tape format with high inventory (7528 units), suitable for high-volume production environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All recommended substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Nichicon UCY and UCS series parts are additionally marked as REACH Affected or REACH Unaffected depending on the specific part number. Verify REACH status against your supply chain requirements.

Q: Can I substitute a Rubycon part (200BXC22MEFC10X20) for the Nichicon original?

A: Yes. The Rubycon 200BXC22MEFC10X20 maintains identical electrical specifications (22 µF, 200 V, ±20%) and compatible mechanical dimensions (0.197" lead spacing, 0.394" diameter). The part is active, ROHS3 compliant, and offers 10000-hour lifetime. Physical height is 0.866" (slightly taller than UPB2D220MPD at 0.846"), which requires PCB clearance verification.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: UCY2D220MPD1TD (Cut Tape format) has the highest current inventory (7528 units) and active product status, indicating strong manufacturer commitment. Nichicon UCY series parts are positioned as long-term solutions with extended lifetime ratings and active production status across multiple voltage and packaging options.

Q: What is the ripple current significance in selecting a substitute?

A: Ripple current capacity determines the maximum AC current the capacitor can handle without exceeding temperature limits. The UPB2D220MPD supports 250 mA @ 120 Hz and 500 mA @ 100 kHz. Most substitutes maintain or exceed these ratings. UCY series parts have slightly reduced ripple current (225 mA @ 120 Hz, 450 mA @ 100 kHz), which is acceptable for general-purpose applications but should be verified for high-ripple-current circuits.
