UPJ0J182MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPJ0J182MPD is a 1800 µF, 6.3 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as not for new designs, indicating it has been superseded in the product lifecycle. Finding equivalent or substitute parts is necessary for legacy system maintenance, repair applications, and inventory management where the original part may no longer be readily available or where design flexibility permits alternative qualified components.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPJ0J182MPD is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Capacitance value of 1800 µF
Voltage rating of 6.3 V
Tolerance of ±20%
Radial, can package configuration
Through-hole mounting type
Lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00 mm)
Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C
Polar polarization

All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in secondary parameters such as lifetime rating, ripple current characteristics, impedance, and product status are noted but do not disqualify substitution eligibility when the primary parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts meet the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

UPM0J182MPD (Nichicon): Maintains Nichicon manufacturer continuity with identical electrical performance to the UPJ0J182MPD. Carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive applications. Height is marginally increased by 0.02" (0.50 mm). Product status remains not for new designs.

EEU-FC0J182 and EEU-FC0J182B (Panasonic Electronic Components): Both are active products with current manufacturing status, providing long-term availability assurance. Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts feature lower impedance (45 mOhms versus 78 mOhms) and improved high-frequency ripple current performance. Height is reduced by approximately 0.3" (8.00 mm) for EEU-FC0J182 and 0.236" (6.00 mm) for EEU-FC0J182B, which may be advantageous in space-constrained applications. Lifetime rating is 3000 hours at 105°C versus 5000 hours for the Nichicon parts.

Packaging Consideration: EEU-FC0J182B is supplied in cut tape format, while UPJ0J182MPD, UPM0J182MPD, and EEU-FC0J182 are supplied in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-FC0J182 or EEU-FC0J182B be used as direct replacements for UPJ0J182MPD?

A: Yes. Both Panasonic parts meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 1800 µF capacitance, 6.3 V rating, ±20% tolerance, radial can package, 5.00 mm lead spacing, and -55°C to 105°C operating range. Physical height differences are noted in the parameter comparison table and should be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: UPJ0J182MPD and UPM0J182MPD are marked as not for new designs, indicating Nichicon has discontinued active development for these series. EEU-FC0J182 and EEU-FC0J182B are active products with ongoing manufacturing and support. For new designs or long-term production requirements, active products provide superior supply chain continuity.

Q: How do the lifetime ratings differ, and does this affect substitution?

A: UPJ0J182MPD and UPM0J182MPD are rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, while EEU-FC0J182 and EEU-FC0J182B are rated for 3000 hours at 105°C. Both ratings are within acceptable ranges for general-purpose and automotive applications. Application-specific thermal stress analysis should determine if the lower rating is acceptable for the intended use case.

Q: Are there physical fit concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Lead spacing and diameter are identical across all four parts (5.00 mm spacing, 10.00 mm diameter). Height varies: UPJ0J182MPD is 33.00 mm, UPM0J182MPD is 34.60 mm, EEU-FC0J182 is 25.00 mm, and EEU-FC0J182B is 27.00 mm. Verify PCB clearance and component placement constraints before substitution.

Q: What certifications do these parts carry?

A: All four parts are ROHS3 compliant. UPM0J182MPD, EEU-FC0J182, and EEU-FC0J182B carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. UPJ0J182MPD does not list AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Bulk and cut tape packaging formats do not affect electrical characteristics. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and assembly process requirements.
