Equivalent & Substitute Parts for UPJ2W2R2MPD

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPJ2W2R2MPD is a 2.2 µF, 450 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package with a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing component sourcing and design continuity. The UPJ series represents a legacy product line, and alternative solutions from both Nichicon and other manufacturers provide functional equivalents with varying performance characteristics and availability status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPJ2W2R2MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Capacitance: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 450 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -25°C to 105°C (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) preferred for direct PCB compatibility
• Lifetime @ 105°C: May vary; lower ratings acceptable only if application requirements permit
• Ripple Current Ratings: May vary within acceptable operational limits
• Physical Dimensions: Height variation acceptable if PCB clearance permits

All substitute parts listed below meet the primary matching criteria. Variations in secondary factors are noted in the parameter comparison table.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Tier 1 - Preferred Substitutes (Active Product Status):

The Panasonic ECA-2WHG2R2 and ECA-2WHG2R2B are the recommended primary substitutes. Both parts are in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The ECA-2WHG2R2B variant includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Both maintain the critical 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing for direct PCB compatibility. The reduced height of 0.531" (14.60 mm) compared to the original 0.846" (21.50 mm) provides improved PCB layout flexibility.

Tier 2 - Secondary Substitutes (Not For New Designs Status):

The Nichicon UPJ2W2R2MPD1TD provides identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the original part, with the same 5000-hour lifetime rating. This part is suitable for legacy system repairs and maintenance where exact performance matching is required. The UVZ2W2R2MPD offers a more compact form factor with reduced height, though the lifetime rating decreases to 2000 hours at 105°C.

Tier 3 - Limited Substitutes (Obsolete or Reduced Performance):

The UPS2W2R2MPD and UVY2W2R2MPD are classified as obsolete or not for new designs. The UVY2W2R2MPD exhibits a significantly reduced lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C and uses non-standard 0.138" (4.60 mm) lead spacing, requiring PCB redesign. These parts are suitable only for legacy applications where exact form factor matching is unavoidable.

Compliance Considerations:

All listed parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use ECA-2WHG2R2 as a direct replacement for UPJ2W2R2MPD?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (2.2 µF), voltage rating (450 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), and operating temperature range (-25°C to 105°C). The ECA-2WHG2R2 is in active production, providing superior supply chain continuity. The reduced height (0.531" vs. 0.846") may improve PCB layout but requires verification of available clearance.

Q: What is the difference between ECA-2WHG2R2 and ECA-2WHG2R2B?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The ECA-2WHG2R2B includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, whereas the ECA-2WHG2R2 is supplied in bulk. Select ECA-2WHG2R2B for automotive applications or when tape packaging is required for automated assembly.

Q: Why does UVY2W2R2MPD have different lead spacing?

A: The UVY2W2R2MPD uses 0.138" (4.60 mm) lead spacing instead of the standard 0.197" (5.00 mm). This non-standard spacing requires PCB redesign and is not recommended as a direct substitute. Use only if PCB layout permits or if redesign is feasible.

Q: Can I use a substitute with lower lifetime rating?

A: Substitutes with reduced lifetime ratings (2000 hours or 1000 hours vs. 5000 hours) are acceptable only if application requirements do not demand the full 5000-hour specification. Verify thermal operating conditions and duty cycle before selecting lower-rated alternatives.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Substitute parts are available in bulk and Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Select Cut Tape (CT) for automated assembly processes; bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.
