Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPM2G4R7MHD1TO is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the UPJ2G4R7MHD1TO. Both components share identical electrical specifications, including capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, lifetime rating, and ripple current characteristics. The UPM series differs in application focus, carrying AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and REACH Affected status, whereas the UPJ series is designated for general-purpose applications.

Physical compatibility is confirmed across all critical dimensions. The maximum seated height differs by 0.020" (0.50mm), which remains within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors.

Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status and are ROHS3 compliant. Selection between these equivalents should be based on application requirements and regulatory compliance needs specific to the end-use environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPM2G4R7MHD1TO replace the UPJ2G4R7MHD1TO in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components meet identical electrical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and thermal performance. Through-hole lead spacing and radial can package dimensions are equivalent, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The UPM2G4R7MHD1TO has a maximum seated height of 0.866" (22.00mm) compared to 0.846" (21.50mm) for the UPJ2G4R7MHD1TO. This 0.020" (0.50mm) difference is typical among equivalent radial capacitor designs and does not affect electrical performance or standard PCB layout requirements.

Q: Why does the UPM series carry AEC-Q200 qualification while the UPJ series does not?

A: The UPM2G4R7MHD1TO is qualified for automotive applications under AEC-Q200 standards. The UPJ2G4R7MHD1TO is designated for general-purpose use. Both meet the same electrical and thermal specifications; the difference reflects intended application scope and qualification testing.

Q: Are there any REACH or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: The UPJ2G4R7MHD1TO is REACH Unaffected, while the UPM2G4R7MHD1TO is REACH Affected. Both are ROHS3 compliant. Selection should account for regulatory requirements specific to the end application and geographic market.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for both parts?

A: This status indicates that Nichicon has designated these series for legacy and maintenance applications. Both the UPJ and UPM series carry this designation, meaning neither is recommended for new product development. Existing designs using either part may continue to source replacements from current inventory.
