Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPJ1C561MHD6TO is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Capacitance: 560 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or greater than 16 V (higher voltage ratings provide backward compatibility)
• Physical Dimensions: Height may vary within mechanical envelope constraints
• Impedance: May vary based on series design
• Ripple Current: May vary based on series design

All substitute parts listed below meet the mandatory compatibility parameters and are qualified for direct replacement in applications originally designed for the UPJ1C561MHD6TO.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPJ1E561MHD6TO (Nichicon UPJ Series, 25 V)

This part maintains the same physical footprint and series designation as the original UPJ1C561MHD6TO while providing a higher voltage rating of 25 V. It is classified as Not For New Designs, consistent with the original part status. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring direct form-factor compatibility within the Nichicon UPJ product line. Impedance is reduced to 100 mOhms compared to the original 130 mOhms, providing improved high-frequency performance.

UPM1E561MHD6TO (Nichicon UPM Series, 25 V, AEC-Q200)

This part offers the same capacitance and voltage specifications as UPJ1E561MHD6TO but belongs to the Nichicon UPM automotive-grade series with AEC-Q200 certification. It provides the lowest impedance at 60 mOhms and is suitable for automotive applications. Height is 0.669" (17.00mm), representing a 0.019" increase over the original. This part is classified as Not For New Designs but carries automotive qualification.

EEU-FC1E561SB (Panasonic FC Series, 25 V, AEC-Q200, Active Status)

This Panasonic part is the only substitute with Active product status, making it the recommended choice for new design activities and long-term availability assurance. It carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification and offers the lowest seated height at 0.630" (16.00mm). Impedance is 65 mOhms. The part is supplied in Tape & Box packaging rather than Cut Tape. This substitute is suitable for both general-purpose and automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 25 V rated capacitor in place of a 16 V rated capacitor?

A: Yes. A higher voltage rating provides backward compatibility. The 25 V substitutes (UPJ1E561MHD6TO, UPM1E561MHD6TO, and EEU-FC1E561SB) can be used in applications originally designed for the 16 V UPJ1C561MHD6TO without electrical or functional compromise.

Q: What is the significance of the height variation between substitutes?

A: The original UPJ1C561MHD6TO has a seated height of 0.650" (16.50mm). The UPM1E561MHD6TO is 0.019" taller at 0.669" (17.00mm), while the EEU-FC1E561SB is 0.020" shorter at 0.630" (16.00mm). These variations must be verified against PCB layout constraints and mechanical clearance requirements in your application.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. The UPM1E561MHD6TO and EEU-FC1E561SB carry this certification, indicating they meet automotive industry reliability and performance requirements. This certification is not applicable to the general-purpose UPJ series parts.

Q: Why does the original part have "Not For New Designs" status?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has superseded the part in their product line. For new design activities, the EEU-FC1E561SB (Active status) is the recommended choice. For existing applications, any of the three substitutes maintain full compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Box packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies individual components on tape, suitable for smaller quantities. Tape & Box (TB) packaging supplies components on tape within a protective box, typically for larger orders. Both are suitable for through-hole assembly; packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.

Q: How do impedance differences affect circuit performance?

A: Lower impedance generally provides better high-frequency filtering and reduced voltage ripple. The EEU-FC1E561SB (65 mOhms) and UPM1E561MHD6TO (60 mOhms) offer superior impedance performance compared to the original UPJ1C561MHD6TO (130 mOhms), resulting in improved ripple current handling at high frequencies.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes (UPJ1E561MHD6TO, UPM1E561MHD6TO, and EEU-FC1E561SB) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original UPJ1C561MHD6TO.
