Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPJ2F4R7MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 4.7 µF (±20% tolerance maintained)
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 315 V; higher voltage ratings are acceptable for direct substitution
• Package Geometry: Lead spacing 0.197" (5.00mm), radial can configuration, through-hole mounting
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 105°C minimum
• Polarization: Polar configuration required

The identified substitute parts meet these criteria while offering variations in lifetime rating, voltage rating, and manufacturer. All substitutes maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, and mounting configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UVZ2G4R7MPD (MFR Recommended Substitute): This Nichicon part maintains the same manufacturer lineage and offers increased voltage rating (400 V) with identical capacitance and tolerance. However, the lifetime rating is reduced to 2000 hours at 105°C compared to the original 5000 hours. This part is classified as "Not For New Designs" and carries bulk packaging. Selection is appropriate for direct replacement in existing designs where the reduced lifetime is acceptable.

UPJ2V4R7MPD1TD (Upgrade Option): This Nichicon upgrade maintains the original 5000-hour lifetime rating and increases voltage rating to 350 V. The physical dimensions remain identical to the main part, ensuring PCB compatibility. Classified as "Not For New Designs," this part is supplied in cut tape packaging and represents a performance-equivalent upgrade path.

400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 (Active Upgrade): This Rubycon part is the only active product in the substitute group, offering the highest lifetime rating of 15000 hours at 105°C with 400 V voltage rating. The reduced height (0.571" versus 0.846") provides improved thermal performance and board space efficiency. ROHS3 compliance and active product status make this the preferred long-term solution for new procurement strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVZ2G4R7MPD be used as a direct replacement for UPJ2F4R7MPD?

A: Yes, UVZ2G4R7MPD is electrically compatible as a direct replacement. Both parts share identical capacitance (4.7 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (5.00mm), and mounting configuration. The higher voltage rating (400 V versus 315 V) provides additional design margin. However, the reduced lifetime (2000 hours versus 5000 hours at 105°C) must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: What are the physical differences between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain the same lead spacing (5.00mm) and diameter (10.00mm), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. Height differences exist: UVZ2G4R7MPD measures 0.689" (17.50mm), UPJ2V4R7MPD1TD measures 0.846" (21.50mm), and 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 measures 0.571" (14.50mm). These variations may affect board layout and thermal management considerations.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: The 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 (Rubycon) is classified as active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturing and availability. The Nichicon alternatives (UVZ2G4R7MPD and UPJ2V4R7MPD1TD) are marked "Not For New Designs," suggesting limited future availability. For new designs, 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 is the recommended selection.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original UPJ2F4R7MPD specification.

Q: What is the significance of lifetime rating differences?

A: Lifetime rating indicates the expected operational duration at maximum rated temperature (105°C). The original part and UPJ2V4R7MPD1TD offer 5000 hours, UVZ2G4R7MPD offers 2000 hours, and 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 offers 15000 hours. Selection depends on application duty cycle and expected service life requirements.
