Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPJ2C010MPD is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Capacitance: 1 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 160 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C (minimum requirement)
RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory alignment)

All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in physical dimensions, ripple current ratings, and lifetime specifications are permissible within the constraints of the radial can package form factor and through-hole mounting configuration.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts satisfy the core electrical specifications: 1 µF capacitance, 160 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, polar configuration, and through-hole radial can packaging. Selection among substitutes should prioritize product status and regulatory compliance.

SEK010M160ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) holds active product status, providing the most favorable long-term availability and supply chain stability. This part maintains identical electrical ratings and RoHS3 compliance while offering documented ESR specification (199.04 Ohm @ 120 Hz).

UPW2C010MED and UVZ2C010MED remain available as Nichicon alternatives with obsolete status. Both maintain full regulatory compliance and electrical compatibility. Physical dimensions differ from the main part, with reduced diameter (6.30mm vs. 8.00mm) and lead spacing (2.50mm vs. 4.60mm), requiring PCB layout verification before substitution.

Lifetime ratings vary across the substitute group (1000 to 3000 hours @ 105°C). Applications requiring extended operational life at elevated temperatures should prioritize parts with higher lifetime specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPW2C010MED be used as a direct replacement for UPJ2C010MPD?

A: UPW2C010MED meets all mandatory electrical parameters (1 µF, 160 V, ±20%, polar, through-hole radial can). However, physical dimensions differ: the UPW2C010MED has a smaller diameter (6.30mm vs. 8.00mm) and reduced lead spacing (2.50mm vs. 4.60mm). PCB layout compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications. Differences exist in physical dimensions, lifetime ratings at 105°C, and ripple current capabilities. UPW2C010MED and UVZ2C010MED are smaller packages with reduced ripple current ratings. SEK010M160ST offers active product status and documented ESR performance.

Q: Is SEK010M160ST from a different manufacturer compatible?

A: Yes. SEK010M160ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements. It maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, identical to the Nichicon alternatives.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: SEK010M160ST is recommended for new designs due to active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. All substitutes are electrically compatible; selection should account for PCB layout constraints and lifetime requirements.

Q: Are there packaging or mounting considerations when substituting?

A: All substitutes use through-hole radial can packaging. Physical dimensions vary, particularly lead spacing and body diameter. Verify PCB pad spacing and component clearance before substitution. Smaller packages (UPW2C010MED, UVZ2C010MED, SEK010M160ST) may require layout adjustments.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the main part UPJ2C010MPD.
