Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPJ2A560MHD6TO is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 56 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (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)
• Lifetime rating: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)

The UPM2A560MHD6TO meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison
