Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPM1J151MHD6TO is determined by matching the following critical parameters:

  • Capacitance value: 150 µF (exact match required)
  • Voltage rating: 63 V (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
  • Package configuration: Radial, Can with Through Hole mounting
  • Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm)
  • Ripple current specifications: 590 mA @ 120 Hz and 845 mA @ 10 kHz
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
  • Lifetime rating: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C

The substitute part UPJ1J151MHD6TO meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon, share identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, ripple current ratings, lead spacing, and thermal specifications. Physical dimensions differ minimally (height variance of 0.019" / 0.50 mm), which does not affect PCB compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UPM1J151MHD6TO and UPJ1J151MHD6TO are ROHS3 compliant and manufactured by Nichicon. The primary distinction lies in application classification and impedance characteristics:

The UPM1J151MHD6TO carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification and is designated for automotive applications. The UPJ1J151MHD6TO is classified for general-purpose applications without automotive rating.

For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, the UPM1J151MHD6TO remains the specified choice. The UPJ1J151MHD6TO serves as a functional substitute where automotive certification is not a design requirement, provided that the impedance difference of 45 mOhms (UPJ impedance is 140 mOhms versus UPM impedance of 95 mOhms) does not impact circuit performance.

Both parts share identical electrical performance in capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, ripple current handling, and thermal specifications. The 0.019" (0.50 mm) height difference presents no compatibility issues for standard PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPJ1J151MHD6TO replace UPM1J151MHD6TO in automotive applications?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. However, the UPJ1J151MHD6TO lacks AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Substitution is permissible only in applications where automotive qualification is not contractually or functionally required.

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

A: The UPJ1J151MHD6TO has 140 mOhms impedance compared to 95 mOhms for the UPM1J151MHD6TO. This 45 mOhm difference may affect high-frequency ripple filtering performance. Verify circuit requirements before substitution in noise-sensitive applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible with existing PCB layouts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) and can diameter (0.492" / 12.50 mm). The height difference of 0.019" (0.50 mm) does not affect standard through-hole mounting compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Both UPM1J151MHD6TO and UPJ1J151MHD6TO are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: UPM1J151MHD6TO: 917 pieces in stock. UPJ1J151MHD6TO: 696 pieces in stock.
