Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPJ1K151MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Match: Capacitance (150 µF), rated voltage (80 V), and tolerance (±20%) must be identical
• Physical Compatibility: Through-hole mounting, radial can package, lead spacing (5.00mm), and diameter (10.00mm) must align with PCB design
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and lifetime rating (5000 Hrs @ 105°C) must meet or exceed application requirements
• Polarization: Polar configuration must be maintained for circuit functionality

The UPM1K151MPD meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the UPJ1K151MPD.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPM1K151MPD is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the UPJ1K151MPD. Both components share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, impedance, and thermal specifications. The UPM series differs in product classification, with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and REACH Affected status, whereas the UPJ series carries general-purpose classification with REACH Unaffected status.

The maximum seated height difference of 0.020" (0.50mm) between the two parts is negligible for most through-hole PCB applications and does not affect functional compatibility. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical export classifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements: the UPM1K151MPD is suitable for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, while the UPJ1K151MPD remains appropriate for general-purpose applications where automotive standards are not mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPM1K151MPD replace the UPJ1K151MPD in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in all critical parameters: 150 µF capacitance, 80 V rating, ±20% tolerance, 150 mOhms impedance, and identical lead spacing and diameter. The 0.50mm height difference does not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the UPJ and UPM series?

A: The UPJ series is classified for general-purpose applications, while the UPM series carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The UPM series also has REACH Affected status compared to the UPJ series' REACH Unaffected status. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are there ripple current differences between these parts?

A: The UPM1K151MPD provides higher ripple current ratings (665 mA @ 120 Hz and 955 mA @ 10 kHz) compared to the UPJ1K151MPD (459 mA @ 120 Hz). This makes the UPM1K151MPD suitable for applications with higher AC current demands.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. Both the UPJ1K151MPD and UPM1K151MPD are ROHS3 compliant and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8532.22.0020) classifications.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Both the UPJ1K151MPD and UPM1K151MPD are classified as Not For New Designs. For new designs requiring 150 µF, 80 V aluminum electrolytic capacitors, consult current Nichicon product portfolios for active alternatives.
