Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Substitutes (6.3 V Rating)

UPM0J102MHD6TO serves as a direct equivalent to UPJ0J102MHD6TO with identical voltage and capacitance specifications. The UPM series includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. The UPM0J102MHD6TO exhibits lower impedance (85 mOhms versus 130 mOhms) and marginally higher ripple current capability at 120 Hz (770 mA versus 765 mA). Height difference is 0.019" (0.50 mm), which may require PCB layout verification in space-constrained applications.

Upgrade Substitutes (10 V Rating)

UPJ1A102MHD6TO and UPM1A102MHD6TO both feature 10 V voltage ratings, providing increased voltage margin over the original 6.3 V specification. These upgrades maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, temperature range, and package footprint. The 10 V variants deliver superior ripple current performance (895–900 mA @ 120 Hz and 1.04 A @ 10 kHz) and lower impedance (100–65 mOhms). UPJ1A102MHD6TO is general-purpose rated, while UPM1A102MHD6TO carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both maintain the 0.650" (16.50 mm) and 0.669" (17.00 mm) height specifications respectively.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and the same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). Selection should account for application voltage requirements, automotive qualification needs, and available PCB height clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM0J102MHD6TO replace UPJ0J102MHD6TO directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1000 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), and package geometry (0.197" lead spacing, radial can). The UPM0J102MHD6TO has a maximum seated height of 0.669" versus 0.650" for the original part. Verify PCB clearance before substitution.

Q: What is the advantage of using 10 V rated parts (UPJ1A102MHD6TO or UPM1A102MHD6TO)?

A: The 10 V variants provide higher voltage margin in circuits designed for 6.3 V operation, improving reliability and reducing stress on the capacitor. They also deliver lower impedance and higher ripple current ratings, beneficial for applications with demanding current profiles.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts (UPM series) interchangeable with general-purpose parts (UPJ series)?

A: UPM series parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are suitable for automotive applications. They are electrically and mechanically compatible with UPJ series equivalents but should be selected based on application requirements and compliance standards.

Q: Does the height difference between UPJ and UPM series affect PCB compatibility?

A: UPJ series parts have a maximum seated height of 0.650" (16.50 mm), while UPM series parts measure 0.669" (17.00 mm). This 0.019" (0.50 mm) difference may impact PCB layout in space-constrained designs. Verify clearance with your PCB design before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (UPM0J102MHD6TO, UPJ1A102MHD6TO, UPM1A102MHD6TO) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original UPJ0J102MHD6TO.

Q: What is the impedance difference between substitute parts?

A: Impedance varies across the substitute range: UPJ0J102MHD6TO (130 mOhms), UPM0J102MHD6TO (85 mOhms), UPJ1A102MHD6TO (100 mOhms), and UPM1A102MHD6TO (65 mOhms). Lower impedance generally improves high-frequency performance and ripple current handling.
