UPJ2C220MHD1TO Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPJ2C220MHD1TO is a 22 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial configuration manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating it has been superseded in Nichicon's product portfolio. The part delivers 5000 hours of operational life at 105°C and is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting with 5.00 mm lead spacing.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary due to the product's discontinued status for new designs. Equivalent alternatives maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, while upgraded substitutes offer enhanced performance characteristics such as higher voltage ratings, extended operational lifetime, or improved ripple current handling.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the UPJ2C220MHD1TO are classified into two categories based on substitution logic:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications (22 µF, 160 V, ±20% tolerance, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical dimensions (5.00 mm lead spacing, 12.50 mm diameter). These parts are direct functional replacements:

UPM2C220MHD1TO (Nichicon UPM series, automotive-rated with AEC-Q200)

Upgraded Substitutes increase one or more performance parameters while maintaining the same capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (5.00 mm), and case diameter (12.50 mm). Upgrades include higher voltage ratings (250 V, 350 V, or 400 V) and extended operational lifetime (10000 or 12000 Hrs @ 105°C):

UCS2G220MHD1TO (Nichicon UCS series, 400 V, 10000 Hrs)
UCS2V220MHD1TO (Nichicon UCS series, 350 V, 10000 Hrs)
UCY2V220MHD3TO (Nichicon UCY series, 350 V, 12000 Hrs)
860241178002 (Würth Elektronik WCAP-AT1H series, 250 V, 10000 Hrs)
EKXG401ETD220MK20S (Chemi-Con KXG series, 400 V, 10000 Hrs)

All substitute parts maintain through-hole radial mounting, polar configuration, and ROHS3 compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Parametric Equivalent): Select UPM2C220MHD1TO when an identical electrical and mechanical specification is required. This part maintains 160 V rating and 5000-hour lifetime. UPM2C220MHD1TO carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive applications, whereas the original UPJ2C220MHD1TO is general-purpose rated.

For Upgraded Performance: Select upgraded substitutes when circuit design permits higher voltage ratings or when extended operational lifetime is beneficial:

UCS2G220MHD1TO or EKXG401ETD220MK20S for 400 V applications with 10000-hour lifetime
UCS2V220MHD1TO or UCY2V220MHD3TO for 350 V applications, with UCY2V220MHD3TO offering 12000-hour lifetime
860241178002 for 250 V applications with 10000-hour lifetime

All substitute parts are Active products, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the Not For New Designs status of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM2C220MHD1TO be used as a direct replacement for UPJ2C220MHD1TO? A: Yes. UPM2C220MHD1TO is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (22 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime (5000 Hrs @ 105°C), and mechanical dimensions (5.00 mm lead spacing, 12.50 mm diameter). Both are through-hole radial components with polar configuration.

Q: What is the difference between parametric equivalents and upgraded substitutes? A: Parametric equivalents maintain all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part. Upgraded substitutes increase voltage rating, operational lifetime, or both, while preserving capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, and case diameter. Upgraded substitutes are suitable when circuit design permits higher voltage margins or when extended component life is desired.

Q: Can upgraded substitutes with higher voltage ratings be used in circuits designed for 160 V? A: Yes. A capacitor rated for higher voltage (250 V, 350 V, or 400 V) can be used in a 160 V circuit. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not degrade circuit performance. The capacitance value remains 22 µF in all cases.

Q: Does the 13.00 mm case diameter of 860241178002 affect PCB compatibility? A: The 860241178002 has a 13.00 mm case diameter compared to 12.50 mm for other substitutes. Verify PCB footprint clearance before selection. Lead spacing remains 5.00 mm, matching the original part.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the environmental compliance of the original UPJ2C220MHD1TO.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime? A: UCY2V220MHD3TO provides 12000 hours at 105°C, the longest lifetime among all listed substitutes. It also offers 350 V rating and Active product status.
