UPJ0J122MHD6TO Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPJ0J122MHD6TO is a 1200 µF, 6.3 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial configuration manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C and is classified as Not For New Designs. Due to this product status and the need for alternative sourcing options, equivalent and substitute parts are available that maintain the same capacitance and voltage specifications or provide upgraded voltage ratings with compatible mechanical and electrical characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPJ0J122MHD6TO is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 1200 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.492" Dia (12.50mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalent: UPM0J122MHD6TO maintains identical voltage rating (6.3 V) and all mechanical parameters, providing a direct replacement from an alternative Nichicon series.

Voltage Upgrade Substitutes: UPJ1A122MHD6TO, UPM1A122MHD6TO, and EEU-FC1A122SB provide 10 V rated voltage while maintaining all other critical parameters. These are suitable for applications where the circuit voltage margin permits a higher-rated component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Voltage Rating):

UPM0J122MHD6TO is the direct equivalent to UPJ0J122MHD6TO, maintaining the 6.3 V voltage rating and all mechanical specifications. This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. Both parts are classified as Not For New Designs.

For Voltage Upgrade Applications:

UPJ1A122MHD6TO and UPM1A122MHD6TO provide 10 V rated voltage while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, and mechanical form factor. UPM1A122MHD6TO includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are classified as Not For New Designs.

EEU-FC1A122SB is a Panasonic equivalent offering 10 V rated voltage with Active product status, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and the lowest seated height (0.630"). This part is the only Active product in the substitute group and is suitable for new design applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C with 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM0J122MHD6TO be used as a direct replacement for UPJ0J122MHD6TO?

A: Yes. UPM0J122MHD6TO maintains identical capacitance (1200 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), and all mechanical parameters including lead spacing, diameter, and mounting type. The primary difference is the series designation and lower impedance (75 mOhms vs. 120 mOhms).

Q: What is the difference between the 6.3 V and 10 V rated substitutes?

A: The 10 V rated parts (UPJ1A122MHD6TO, UPM1A122MHD6TO, and EEU-FC1A122SB) provide higher voltage margin in the circuit while maintaining the same capacitance value. These are suitable for applications where the operating voltage permits a higher-rated component. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain compatible.

Q: Why is EEU-FC1A122SB listed as Active while other substitutes are Not For New Designs?

A: EEU-FC1A122SB is a Panasonic product with Active product status, indicating it is currently in production and suitable for new design applications. The Nichicon equivalents (UPJ and UPM series) are classified as Not For New Designs, meaning they are legacy products no longer recommended for new circuit designs.

Q: Are there height differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. Seated heights vary: UPJ0J122MHD6TO and UPJ1A122MHD6TO are 0.650" (16.50mm), UPM0J122MHD6TO and UPM1A122MHD6TO are 0.669" (17.00mm), and EEU-FC1A122SB is 0.630" (16.00mm). Verify PCB layout clearance before substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet automotive standards?

A: UPM0J122MHD6TO, UPM1A122MHD6TO, and EEU-FC1A122SB carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. UPJ0J122MHD6TO and UPJ1A122MHD6TO do not have automotive ratings but are suitable for general-purpose applications.

Q: What is the significance of impedance differences among these parts?

A: Impedance values range from 60 mOhms (UPM1A122MHD6TO) to 120 mOhms (UPJ0J122MHD6TO). Lower impedance generally indicates better high-frequency ripple current performance. Verify impedance compatibility with your circuit's ripple current requirements.
