UPJ2A560MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPJ2A560MPD is a 56 µF, 100 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 This component is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating it has been superseded in Nichicon's product portfolio. For applications requiring equivalent electrical performance with active product status or alternative sourcing, substitute parts from Panasonic Electronic Components are available that maintain the same capacitance, voltage rating, and mechanical form factor.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPJ2A560MPD is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance: 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" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)

The substitute parts EEU-FC2A560 and EEU-FC2A560B from Panasonic Electronic Components meet all these criteria. Differences in lifetime rating, ripple current specifications, and packaging format do not affect functional substitution for applications where the core electrical parameters are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EEU-FC2A560 and EEU-FC2A560B are active products from Panasonic Electronic Components and are suitable for new designs. The primary distinction between these substitutes is packaging format: EEU-FC2A560 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while EEU-FC2A560B is supplied in Tape & Box format. Both parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance.

The UPJ2A560MPD, designated as Not For New Designs, should be replaced with either Panasonic substitute for ongoing production or new design implementations. Selection between the two Panasonic options depends on procurement and assembly requirements rather than electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-FC2A560 or EEU-FC2A560B directly replace UPJ2A560MPD in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both Panasonic parts are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. The capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, lead spacing, and physical dimensions are identical. PCB layout and mechanical mounting require no modification.

Q: What is the difference between EEU-FC2A560 and EEU-FC2A560B?

A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The difference is packaging: EEU-FC2A560 is supplied in Bulk format, while EEU-FC2A560B is supplied in Tape & Box format. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Does the height difference of 0.02" (0.50 mm) between UPJ2A560MPD and the Panasonic substitutes affect compatibility?

A: The UPJ2A560MPD has a maximum seated height of 0.846" (21.50 mm), while both Panasonic substitutes have 0.866" (22.00 mm). This 0.02" difference is within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors and does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Are the Panasonic substitutes suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both EEU-FC2A560 and EEU-FC2A560B carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are rated for automotive applications.

Q: What is the impact of the different lifetime ratings?

A: The UPJ2A560MPD is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, while the Panasonic substitutes are rated for 3000 hours at 105°C. This difference reflects the product series characteristics and does not affect substitution eligibility for applications where the specified lifetime is met.
