UPM2C010MPD1TA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPM2C010MPD1TA is a 1 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 compliance and features a 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C operating temperature. The part carries a "Not For New Designs" status, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPM2C010MPD1TA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Parameters: Capacitance (1 µF), rated voltage (160 V), and tolerance (±20%) must match exactly
• Thermal Performance: Lifetime specification (3000 Hrs @ 105°C) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) must be maintained
• Physical Compatibility: Package type (Radial, Can), mounting method (Through Hole), lead spacing (4.60mm), and overall dimensions must accommodate existing PCB layouts
• Polarization: Polar configuration must be preserved
• Ripple Current Ratings: Both low-frequency (19 mA @ 120 Hz) and high-frequency (30.4 mA @ 10 kHz) specifications must be met

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

UPM2C010MPD1TD — Parametric equivalent from the same UPM series with identical electrical and thermal specifications, AEC-Q200 rated for automotive use, packaged in Cut Tape format with matching physical dimensions.

UPJ2C010MPD1TD — Direct manufacturer equivalent from the UPJ series with identical electrical and thermal specifications, packaged in Cut Tape format. Physical dimensions differ slightly in height (0.492" vs. 0.512"), and applications are designated as General Purpose rather than Automotive. REACH status differs (Unaffected vs. Affected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPM2C010MPD1TD is the primary substitute for the UPM2C010MPD1TA. Both parts are from the same UPM series, carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and maintain identical electrical, thermal, and physical specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Box). This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in automotive applications where AEC-Q200 compliance is required.

UPJ2C010MPD1TD is a secondary substitute with full electrical and thermal equivalence. However, it differs in three aspects: (1) it lacks AEC-Q200 automotive rating and is designated for General Purpose applications, (2) seated height is 0.492" (12.50mm) versus 0.512" (13.00mm), and (3) REACH status is Unaffected rather than Affected. This part is suitable only for non-automotive applications or where automotive qualification is not a design requirement. The 0.020" height difference must be evaluated for PCB layout compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPJ2C010MPD1TD replace UPM2C010MPD1TA in automotive applications?

A: UPJ2C010MPD1TD lacks AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Use only in non-automotive applications or where automotive certification is not required. For automotive designs, use UPM2C010MPD1TD.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Box and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Both are reel-based formats suitable for automated assembly. Tape & Box includes a protective box; Cut Tape is supplied on continuous reel. Electrical and physical specifications are identical. Selection depends on inventory management and assembly line requirements.

Q: Does the 0.020" height difference between UPJ2C010MPD1TD and UPM2C010MPD1TA affect PCB compatibility?

A: UPJ2C010MPD1TD has a maximum seated height of 0.492" (12.50mm) versus 0.512" (13.00mm) for the main part. Verify clearance in your PCB layout, particularly if components are mounted near low-profile shields or enclosures.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. UPM2C010MPD1TA, UPM2C010MPD1TD, and UPJ2C010MPD1TD are all ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature or end-of-life phase. Nichicon continues to supply existing inventory, but the company does not recommend these parts for new product development. Substitute parts with equivalent specifications should be evaluated for new designs.

Q: Can I use UPM2C010MPD1TD as a direct drop-in replacement?

A: Yes. UPM2C010MPD1TD is electrically, thermally, and physically identical to UPM2C010MPD1TA. The only difference is packaging format. No circuit modifications are required.
