Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPM2A560MHD6TO is determined by strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 56 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 100 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Case Diameter: 0.492" (12.50 mm) (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Height: Minor variations permitted within mechanical envelope constraints
• Ripple Current: May vary based on series design
• Impedance: Consistent at 270 mOhms across qualified substitutes
• Operating Temperature Range: Must maintain -55°C ~ 105°C minimum
• Lifetime @ Temperature: Must maintain 5000 Hrs @ 105°C minimum

The UPJ2A560MHD6TO qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPJ2A560MHD6TO is a qualified substitute for the UPM2A560MHD6TO based on matching electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and manufactured by Nichicon with identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range.

Application Context Considerations:

For automotive applications originally specified with AEC-Q200 rated UPM2A560MHD6TO components, the UPJ2A560MHD6TO (General Purpose series) maintains electrical equivalence but lacks automotive-specific certification. Selection should account for the original application's certification requirements.

The UPJ2A560MHD6TO exhibits lower ripple current capability at 120 Hz (258 mA versus 340 mA) but higher capability at 10 kHz (430 mA). Height difference of 0.019" (0.50 mm) is within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPJ2A560MHD6TO replace UPM2A560MHD6TO in automotive circuits?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. However, the UPJ2A560MHD6TO lacks AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Substitution is permissible only where automotive certification is not a design requirement or regulatory mandate.

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

A: The UPJ2A560MHD6TO is 0.019" (0.50 mm) shorter than the UPM2A560MHD6TO. This difference is negligible for standard through-hole PCB layouts and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in typical applications.

Q: Are the ripple current differences significant?

A: Ripple current specifications differ by frequency. At 120 Hz, the UPJ2A560MHD6TO provides 258 mA versus 340 mA for the UPM2A560MHD6TO. At 10 kHz, the UPJ2A560MHD6TO provides 430 mA. Selection depends on the actual ripple frequency in the target circuit. Both maintain the same impedance of 270 mOhms.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both UPM2A560MHD6TO and UPJ2A560MHD6TO are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the lead spacing and case diameter for PCB layout purposes?

A: Both parts feature identical lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00 mm) and case diameter of 0.492" (12.50 mm), ensuring direct footprint compatibility on PCB designs.
