Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPJ2E010MPD1TD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• Capacitance: 1 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 250 V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±20% (matching tolerance class)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C minimum
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 3000 Hrs @ 105°C minimum

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Polarization: Polar (required for electrolytic type)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (required for PCB compatibility)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (required for form factor)
• Lead Spacing: 0.138" (4.60mm) (required for footprint compatibility)
• Size / Dimension: 0.315" Dia (8.00mm) (required for mechanical fit)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. UPM2E010MPD1TD - Direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differs in series designation (UPM vs. UPJ) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive rating.

2. UPJ2F010MPD1TD - Upgrade substitute with higher voltage rating (315 V vs. 250 V). Maintains all other electrical and mechanical parameters. Same series as main part (UPJ).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPM2E010MPD1TD (Direct Equivalent): This part is electrically and mechanically identical to the UPJ2E010MPD1TD. The primary distinction is the inclusion of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which indicates enhanced reliability testing for automotive applications. Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for direct replacement in legacy systems where the original part is unavailable.

UPJ2F010MPD1TD (Upgrade Substitute): This part provides a higher voltage rating (315 V vs. 250 V) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. The increased voltage margin provides additional safety headroom in applications where the circuit operates below 250 V. Height difference (0.492" vs. 0.512" for UPM2E010MPD1TD) is negligible for most PCB layouts. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring enhanced voltage margin without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM2E010MPD1TD be used as a direct replacement for UPJ2E010MPD1TD?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (1 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), lifetime specification (3000 Hrs @ 105°C), and mechanical dimensions. The UPM series includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which does not restrict use in general-purpose applications.

Q: What is the advantage of using UPJ2F010MPD1TD?

A: The UPJ2F010MPD1TD provides a higher voltage rating of 315 V compared to the 250 V rating of the main part. This higher voltage margin reduces stress on the capacitor in circuits operating near the rated voltage limit. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, ensuring PCB compatibility.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns with these substitutes?

A: Lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm) and diameter (0.315" / 8.00mm) are identical across all three parts, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. The UPM2E010MPD1TD has a maximum seated height of 0.512" compared to 0.492" for the main part and UPJ2F010MPD1TD. This 0.020" difference is negligible for most applications but should be verified if space constraints exist.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts (UPJ2E010MPD1TD, UPM2E010MPD1TD, and UPJ2F010MPD1TD) are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Why are all three parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates these are legacy products. For new designs, Nichicon recommends evaluating current-generation capacitor series. However, these parts remain suitable for maintenance, repair, and legacy system support.
