Engineering Selection Recommendations

MFR Recommended Substitute: UVY2G2R2MPD

UVY2G2R2MPD is the manufacturer-recommended alternative from Nichicon. This part maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, and mechanical compatibility with the original UPJ2C2R2MPD. The voltage rating is elevated to 400 V, providing overvoltage margin. However, the lifetime specification is reduced to 1000 hours at 105°C compared to the original 3000 hours. The product status is "Not For New Designs," indicating limited long-term availability. This substitute is suitable for applications where voltage headroom is prioritized and lifetime requirements do not exceed 1000 hours.

Upgrade Substitute: UPJ2D2R2MPD

UPJ2D2R2MPD is a Nichicon upgrade option maintaining the same series lineage as the original part. It provides identical mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and case size. The voltage rating is increased to 200 V, and the lifetime specification remains at 3000 hours at 105°C, matching the original performance. The product status is obsolete, similar to the original part. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring 160 V or lower voltage operation.

Upgrade Substitute: 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 and 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5

Both Rubycon LLE series parts offer significant performance enhancement with 15000-hour lifetime at 105°C, a 5-fold improvement over the original specification. Both maintain 400 V voltage rating, identical capacitance and tolerance, and compatible mechanical dimensions with lead spacing of 0.138" (4.60mm) and case diameter of 0.315" (8.00mm). Height increases to 0.512" (13.00mm). Both parts carry Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These substitutes are suitable for applications requiring extended operational life and higher voltage margin.

Similar Substitute: UPW2C2R2MED

UPW2C2R2MED is a Nichicon alternative with identical voltage rating (160 V) and capacitance (2.2 µF). The lifetime is reduced to 2000 hours at 105°C. Mechanical dimensions differ: lead spacing is 0.098" (2.50mm), case diameter is 0.248" (6.30mm), and height is 0.433" (11.00mm). This part requires PCB layout modification due to different lead spacing and case size. Product status is obsolete. This substitute is suitable only when PCB redesign is acceptable.

Similar Substitute: SEK2R2M160ST

SEK2R2M160ST is manufactured by Cornell Dubilier Electronics with identical voltage rating (160 V) and capacitance (2.2 µF). The lifetime is 2000 hours at 105°C. Mechanical dimensions match UPW2C2R2MED: lead spacing of 0.098" (2.50mm), case diameter of 0.248" (6.30mm), and height of 0.433" (11.00mm). Product status is Active, providing better long-term availability. This substitute requires PCB layout modification and is suitable when cross-manufacturer sourcing and active product status are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVY2G2R2MPD be used as a direct replacement for UPJ2C2R2MPD?

A: UVY2G2R2MPD maintains identical lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm), case diameter (0.315" / 8.00mm), and capacitance (2.2 µF). However, the height increases from 0.492" to 0.512" (12.50mm to 13.00mm), and the lifetime is reduced from 3000 to 1000 hours at 105°C. Verify PCB clearance and application lifetime requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 and 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent Rubycon LLE series capacitors with identical electrical specifications (2.2 µF, 400 V, ±20%, 15000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical dimensions. The part numbers reflect manufacturing variations. Selection between them is based on inventory availability.

Q: Can UPW2C2R2MED replace UPJ2C2R2MPD without PCB modification?

A: No. UPW2C2R2MED has different lead spacing (0.098" vs 0.138") and case diameter (0.248" vs 0.315"), requiring PCB layout changes. Additionally, the lifetime is reduced to 2000 hours at 105°C. PCB redesign is necessary for this substitution.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime?

A: Both 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 and 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5 offer 15000 hours at 105°C, compared to the original 3000 hours. These Rubycon parts provide the highest reliability margin for extended-life applications.

Q: Is SEK2R2M160ST suitable for applications requiring the original 3000-hour lifetime?

A: No. SEK2R2M160ST provides 2000 hours at 105°C, which is 1000 hours less than the original specification. Applications with strict lifetime requirements should use UPJ2D2R2MPD or the Rubycon LLE series alternatives.

Q: What are the compliance certifications for all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. All carry EAR99 ECCN classification and HTSUS code 8532.22.0020, matching the original part's regulatory status.
