Engineering Selection Recommendations
UPW2G100MHD1TO offers extended lifetime performance with 7000 hours at 105°C compared to the 5000-hour rating of the UPJ2G100MHD1TO. This substitute is suitable for applications where enhanced reliability and longer operational life are beneficial. The UPW series maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct board-level compatibility. Ripple current ratings are slightly lower, which may be advantageous in thermally constrained environments.
UPM2G100MHD1TO is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is designated for automotive applications. This substitute maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical form factor as the UPJ2G100MHD1TO. Selection of the UPM variant is appropriate when automotive-grade reliability and compliance documentation are required. REACH status differs from the main part, requiring verification against specific regulatory requirements for your application.
All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and manufactured by Nichicon, ensuring consistent quality and supply chain reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can UPW2G100MHD1TO be used as a direct replacement for UPJ2G100MHD1TO?
A: Yes. The UPW2G100MHD1TO is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. Both parts share identical capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (400 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (radial can), lead spacing (5.00 mm), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). The UPW variant offers extended lifetime (7000 hours vs. 5000 hours at 105°C).
Q: What is the difference between UPJ, UPW, and UPM series?
A: The series designation indicates product line classification within Nichicon's aluminum electrolytic capacitor portfolio. UPJ and UPW are general-purpose series, while UPM is qualified for automotive applications (AEC-Q200). All three series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 10 µF, 400 V configuration.
Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting these parts?
A: No. All three parts maintain identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), body diameter (0.492" / 12.50 mm), and maximum seated height (1.063" / 27.00 mm). PCB footprints and mounting holes require no modification.
Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?
A: All three parts are marked as Not For New Designs. For new design work, consult Nichicon's current product portfolio for active alternatives with equivalent or superior specifications.
Q: Does ripple current rating affect part selection?
A: Ripple current specifications are provided for design verification. The UPJ and UPM variants share identical ripple current ratings (85 mA @ 120 Hz, 136 mA @ 10 kHz). The UPW variant has lower ripple current ratings (72 mA @ 120 Hz, 115.2 mA @ 10 kHz). Selection depends on your circuit's actual ripple current requirements.
Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on UPM2G100MHD1TO?
A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The UPM variant meets this qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring documented reliability and quality assurance. General-purpose applications do not require this qualification.
