UPJ2D2R2MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPJ2D2R2MPD is a 2.2 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The UPJ series offers a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity. Suitable alternatives must maintain the same capacitance and voltage rating while accommodating mechanical and electrical parameter variations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPJ2D2R2MPD is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Compatibility Requirements:

Capacitance: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 200 V minimum (higher voltage ratings are acceptable)
Polarization: Polar (required for electrolytic capacitors)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (required for PCB compatibility)
Package Type: Radial, Can (required for mechanical fit)

Secondary Considerations:

Lead spacing and physical dimensions (affects PCB layout compatibility)
Lifetime rating at 105°C (affects reliability and design margin)
Operating temperature range (must encompass -40°C to 105°C)
RoHS and REACH compliance status

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories:

Similar Substitutes (Same Voltage Rating): Parts with 200 V rating from alternative manufacturers (Vishay, Cornell Dubilier, Nichicon UPW series). These maintain identical electrical specifications with potential variations in physical dimensions and lifetime ratings.
Manufacturer Recommended Substitute (Higher Voltage Rating): The UVY2G2R2MPD offers 400 V rating, providing increased voltage margin. This part is suitable when higher voltage headroom is acceptable and mechanical constraints permit the slightly increased height.
Upgrade Substitutes (Enhanced Lifetime): Rubycon 400LLE series parts provide 15000 hours lifetime at 105°C compared to the original 3000 hours, with 400 V rating. These are recommended for applications requiring extended operational life and higher reliability margins.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Electrical Specifications):

Select MAL214232228E3, MAL214252228E3, or MAL214272228E3 from Vishay. These parts maintain the 2.2 µF, 200 V specification with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The Vishay 142 RHS series offers 2500-hour lifetime ratings, exceeding the original 3000-hour specification. Lead spacing variations (0.098" or 0.197") require PCB layout verification before substitution.

For Enhanced Reliability (Higher Voltage Margin):

The UVY2G2R2MPD from Nichicon provides 400 V rating with identical lead spacing and can diameter to the original part. This substitution is suitable when increased voltage headroom is acceptable. Note that the 1000-hour lifetime is lower than the original specification; verify application requirements before selection.

For Extended Operational Life (Upgrade Path):

The Rubycon 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 or 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5 parts deliver 15000-hour lifetime at 105°C with 400 V rating and active product status. These components are recommended for applications requiring extended service intervals and higher reliability margins. The 0.512" maximum height exceeds the original 0.492" dimension; PCB clearance verification is required.

Compliance Considerations:

All recommended substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory posture. No additional compliance actions are required for substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the UPJ2D2R2MPD with a higher voltage-rated capacitor?

A: Yes. A 400 V rated capacitor is electrically compatible with a 200 V application. The UVY2G2R2MPD and Rubycon 400LLE series are suitable higher-voltage alternatives. Verify that PCB layout accommodates any dimensional differences, particularly height variations.

Q: What is the impact of different lead spacing on substitution?

A: Lead spacing directly affects PCB hole pattern compatibility. The original UPJ2D2R2MPD uses 0.138" (4.60 mm) spacing. Alternatives with 0.098" (2.50 mm) or 0.197" (5.00 mm) spacing require PCB redesign or use of adapter solutions. Verify lead spacing compatibility before final part selection.

Q: Why do some substitutes have lower lifetime ratings than the original part?

A: Lifetime ratings vary by manufacturer and series design. The UVY2G2R2MPD offers 1000 hours at 105°C compared to the original 3000 hours. This does not indicate inferior quality but reflects different design priorities. For applications with strict lifetime requirements, select parts with equal or higher ratings, such as the Rubycon 400LLE series at 15000 hours.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All recommended substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original part's regulatory status. No additional compliance verification is required.

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

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 2.2 µF, 400 V, 15000-hour ratings. The part number variation reflects internal manufacturer designation. Either part is suitable for substitution; inventory availability may determine final selection.

Q: Can I use the UPW2D2R2MED as a direct replacement?

A: The UPW2D2R2MED maintains the 2.2 µF, 200 V specification but uses smaller lead spacing (0.098" vs. 0.138") and reduced physical dimensions. This part is suitable only if PCB layout accommodates the smaller footprint. The 2000-hour lifetime is lower than the original 3000 hours.
