UPJ1C561MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPJ1C561MPD is a 560 µF, 16 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 This component is classified as not for new designs, indicating it has been superseded in the product lifecycle.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 operations, and applications where the original specification must be maintained or upgraded for improved performance characteristics.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPJ1C561MPD is determined by the following criteria:

Direct Equivalents (Same Voltage Rating): Parts with identical 560 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 16 V voltage rating, and compatible through-hole radial can package with 5.00 mm lead spacing qualify as direct equivalents. These parts maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility without circuit redesign.

Upgraded Substitutes (Higher Voltage Rating): Parts with 560 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, and voltage ratings of 25 V or 35 V are acceptable upgrades. Higher voltage ratings provide additional safety margin and are backward compatible in circuits designed for 16 V operation. Physical dimensions and lead spacing must remain compatible (5.00 mm lead spacing, 10.00 mm diameter can).

Key Substitution Parameters:

Capacitance value: 560 µF (fixed)
Tolerance: ±20% (fixed)
Voltage rating: 16 V minimum (upgrades to 25 V or 35 V acceptable)
Lead spacing: 5.00 mm (fixed for mechanical compatibility)
Can diameter: 10.00 mm (fixed for mechanical compatibility)
Mounting type: Through Hole (fixed)
Polarization: Polar (fixed)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Selection (Same Voltage, Same Lifetime): EEU-FC1C561 and EEU-FC1C561B from Panasonic are direct electrical equivalents with identical 560 µF, 16 V specifications. Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 automotive ratings. The primary difference is packaging: EEU-FC1C561 is supplied in bulk, while EEU-FC1C561B is supplied in tape and box format. Both are suitable for direct replacement in legacy applications.

Upgraded Substitute Selection (Higher Voltage Rating): B41858C7567M000, B41888C7567M, and B41890A5567M from EPCOS - TDK Electronics provide voltage upgrades to 35 V, 35 V, and 25 V respectively, while maintaining 560 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. All three are active products with ROHS3 compliance. B41888C7567M offers the longest lifetime at 7000 hours with AEC-Q200 automotive rating. B41890A5567M provides 10000-hour lifetime at 25 V. These upgrades are electrically backward compatible and provide enhanced reliability margins.

Mechanical Compatibility Consideration: ELXZ160ELL561MH20D from Chemi-Con has different lead spacing (4.60 mm vs. 5.00 mm) and smaller can diameter (8.00 mm vs. 10.00 mm). This part is not mechanically compatible with the original UPJ1C561MPD footprint and requires PCB redesign for implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 35 V rated capacitor in place of a 16 V rated capacitor? A: Yes. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are backward compatible in circuits designed for lower voltages. The 35 V rated substitutes (B41858C7567M000 and B41888C7567M) provide additional safety margin and are electrically suitable for 16 V applications.

Q: What is the difference between EEU-FC1C561 and EEU-FC1C561B? A: Both parts are electrically identical 560 µF, 16 V capacitors from Panasonic with identical performance specifications. The difference is packaging: EEU-FC1C561 is supplied in bulk packaging, while EEU-FC1C561B is supplied in tape and box format. Selection depends on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Why is ELXZ160ELL561MH20D not recommended as a direct substitute? A: ELXZ160ELL561MH20D has different mechanical specifications: 4.60 mm lead spacing and 8.00 mm can diameter compared to the original 5.00 mm lead spacing and 10.00 mm diameter. These dimensional differences make it incompatible with the original PCB footprint without redesign.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime? A: B41890A5567M provides 10000 hours at 105°C, the longest lifetime among all listed substitutes. B41888C7567M offers 7000 hours at 105°C. The original UPJ1C561MPD and B41858C7567M000 both specify 5000 hours at 105°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original UPJ1C561MPD.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the UPJ1C561MPD? A: This designation indicates the UPJ1C561MPD has been superseded in Nichicon's product lifecycle. For new circuit designs, active product alternatives such as the Panasonic EEU-FC series or EPCOS - TDK Electronics B41 series are recommended. The original part remains available for legacy system maintenance and repair.
