Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Voltage, Same Lead Spacing):

UPM0J152MHD6TO is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent with identical capacitance, voltage rating, and lead spacing. This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and lower impedance (65 mOhms vs. 100 mOhms), providing improved performance characteristics. Both parts share "Not For New Designs" status.

EEU-FC0J152SB is a direct equivalent from Panasonic with matching capacitance, voltage, and lead spacing. This part holds Active product status and AEC-Q200 certification, making it suitable for new designs. Impedance is 65 mOhms, and height is slightly reduced (16.00mm vs. 16.50mm).

Upgrade Option (Higher Voltage Rating):

UPJ1A152MHD6TN provides the same capacitance with elevated voltage rating (10 V vs. 6.3 V), enabling use in higher voltage applications. Lead spacing increases to 0.295" (7.50mm), requiring PCB layout modification. Ripple current ratings are higher (1.19 A @ 120 Hz, 1.33 A @ 10 kHz). This part is not suitable for direct PCB replacement without layout changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM0J152MHD6TO replace UPJ0J152MHD6TO without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), matching capacitance (1500 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), and package dimensions. Direct substitution on the PCB is possible. UPM0J152MHD6TO offers lower impedance (65 mOhms vs. 100 mOhms) and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Is EEU-FC0J152SB compatible with the original design?

A: Yes, for electrical and mechanical compatibility. EEU-FC0J152SB matches all critical parameters: capacitance, voltage, lead spacing, and package type. Height is marginally reduced (16.00mm vs. 16.50mm), which does not affect functionality. This part is Active status, making it preferable for new designs.

Q: Why does UPJ1A152MHD6TN have different lead spacing?

A: UPJ1A152MHD6TN is a voltage upgrade (10 V vs. 6.3 V) with larger physical dimensions. Lead spacing increases to 0.295" (7.50mm) due to the larger can diameter (16.00mm vs. 12.50mm). This part requires PCB layout modification and cannot be used as a direct drop-in replacement.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. UPM0J152MHD6TO and EEU-FC0J152SB carry this certification, indicating suitability for automotive applications. The original UPJ0J152MHD6TO does not carry this rating.

Q: Can I use a higher voltage rated capacitor in place of the 6.3 V part?

A: Yes, provided all other parameters remain compatible. UPJ1A152MHD6TN (10 V rating) is electrically compatible but requires PCB modification due to different lead spacing and physical dimensions. Direct substitution is not possible.

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

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates the manufacturer has discontinued the part for new applications but may continue limited production for existing designs. "Active" status means the part is in full production and recommended for new designs. EEU-FC0J152SB is the only Active option among the substitutes.
