Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPJ2F100MHD1TO is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 315 V minimum
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Polarization: Polar
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package Type: Radial, Can
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Case Diameter: 0.492" Dia (12.50mm)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

Direct Equivalent (UPM2F100MHD1TO): Identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. Differs in series designation (UPM vs. UPJ) and application rating (Automotive vs. General Purpose). Height variation of 0.020" (0.50mm) is within acceptable mechanical tolerance.

Upgrade Substitute (UPW2V100MHD1TO): Meets all critical parameters with enhanced voltage rating (350 V vs. 315 V) and extended lifetime (7000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs @ 105°C). Height matches the direct equivalent. Reduced ripple current specifications reflect the higher voltage rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPM2F100MHD1TO (Direct Equivalent): Select this substitute when direct replacement is required with identical electrical performance. This part maintains the 315 V rating and 5000-hour lifetime specification. The 0.020" height difference is mechanically acceptable for standard through-hole PCB layouts. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification provides additional reliability assurance. Higher inventory availability (1158 pcs) supports production continuity.

UPW2V100MHD1TO (Upgrade Substitute): Select this part when design margins permit the higher 350 V rating and extended 7000-hour lifetime. The upgrade provides enhanced reliability for long-term applications. The 0.020" height difference is mechanically compatible. Reduced ripple current specifications reflect the higher voltage rating and do not impact general purpose applications. Highest inventory availability (1820 pcs) ensures supply security.

All three parts carry ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for equivalent circuit performance within their specified electrical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM2F100MHD1TO replace UPJ2F100MHD1TO in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (315 V), tolerance (±20%), and mechanical dimensions within acceptable tolerance. The 0.020" height difference (21.50mm vs. 22.00mm) does not affect through-hole PCB compatibility. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the direct equivalent and upgrade substitute?

A: UPM2F100MHD1TO is a direct electrical equivalent with identical 315 V rating and 5000-hour lifetime. UPW2V100MHD1TO is an upgrade offering higher voltage rating (350 V) and extended lifetime (7000 Hrs @ 105°C). Both maintain the same 10 µF capacitance and mechanical footprint.

Q: Can UPW2V100MHD1TO be used in place of UPJ2F100MHD1TO?

A: Yes. The UPW2V100MHD1TO meets all critical substitution parameters: 10 µF capacitance, compatible voltage rating (350 V exceeds 315 V requirement), ±20% tolerance, and identical mechanical lead spacing and case diameter. The higher voltage rating and extended lifetime provide design margin without affecting circuit compatibility.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns with the height difference?

A: No. The maximum height variation is 0.020" (0.50mm) between parts. Standard through-hole PCB designs accommodate this tolerance. Lead spacing (5.00mm) and case diameter (12.50mm) are identical across all three parts.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new production?

A: All three parts carry "Not For New Designs" status. For new designs, consult Nichicon's current product portfolio for active series alternatives. For ongoing production support of existing designs, UPW2V100MHD1TO provides the best reliability margin with extended lifetime and higher voltage rating.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. UPJ2F100MHD1TO, UPM2F100MHD1TO, and UPW2V100MHD1TO are all ROHS3 compliant.
