UPM2C4R7MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPM2C4R7MPD is a 4.7 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for automotive applications under AEC-Q200 with a 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPM2C4R7MPD is determined by the following criteria:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications: 4.7 µF capacitance, 160 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, and through-hole radial can package with 5.00mm lead spacing. These parts are interchangeable at the circuit board level.

Upgraded Substitutes increase voltage rating (350 V or 400 V) or lifetime rating while maintaining 4.7 µF capacitance and compatible package dimensions. These provide enhanced performance margins in the same physical footprint.

Similar Substitutes share the same capacitance and voltage rating but differ in physical dimensions (lead spacing and height) or lifetime specifications. These require PCB layout verification before implementation.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives from Rubycon and Cornell Dubilier Electronics meet the same electrical specifications with different package geometries or performance characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (No PCB Modification): UPJ2C4R7MPD is the primary direct equivalent, maintaining identical electrical specifications and 5.00mm lead spacing. Both parts are obsolete; however, UPJ2C4R7MPD has higher inventory availability (2936 pcs vs. 967 pcs). UPM2C4R7MPD1TD provides an alternative with AEC-Q200 automotive rating and identical dimensions.

For Automotive Applications: UPM2C4R7MPD1TD retains AEC-Q200 compliance and automotive qualification. The original UPM2C4R7MPD also carries AEC-Q200 rating. No other substitutes in this list maintain automotive certification.

For Enhanced Reliability: ULD2G4R7MPD (400 V, 15000 Hrs @ 105°C) and 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 (400 V, 15000 Hrs @ 105°C) provide extended lifetime and higher voltage margin. Both maintain 5.00mm lead spacing and 14.50mm height, enabling direct PCB substitution. 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 is currently active from Rubycon.

For Compliance: All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant. 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 and SEK4R7M160ST are currently active products with unlimited MSL rating.

For Space-Constrained Designs: UVZ2V4R7MPD (350 V, 12.50mm height) offers reduced height while maintaining 5.00mm lead spacing. This requires verification that the 350 V rating is acceptable for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPJ2C4R7MPD replace UPM2C4R7MPD directly on the PCB? A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (4.7 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (5.00mm), and package type (radial, can). The height difference is 0.5mm (UPJ2C4R7MPD is 14.00mm vs. UPM2C4R7MPD at 14.50mm), which does not affect circuit board compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between UPM2C4R7MPD and UPM2C4R7MPD1TD? A: Both are Nichicon UPM series parts with identical electrical specifications and dimensions. UPM2C4R7MPD1TD is supplied in cut tape (CT) packaging, while the original is in standard packaging. Both maintain AEC-Q200 automotive rating and 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C.

Q: Can I use 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 as a drop-in replacement? A: Yes, for PCB layout purposes. The 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 maintains identical lead spacing (5.00mm) and height (14.50mm). However, the voltage rating is 400 V instead of 160 V. This higher rating provides additional safety margin but does not affect circuit functionality. The part is currently active from Rubycon.

Q: Why do some substitutes have different lead spacing? A: UPS2C4R7MPD, UPW2C4R7MPD, and UVZ2C4R7MED use 4.60mm or 2.50mm lead spacing instead of 5.00mm. These parts require PCB layout modification and cannot be used as direct substitutes without reworking the component footprint.

Q: Is UVZ2V4R7MPD suitable for automotive applications? A: UVZ2V4R7MPD does not carry AEC-Q200 rating. It is designated for general purpose applications. For automotive use, select UPM2C4R7MPD1TD or the original UPM2C4R7MPD.

Q: What is the lifetime difference between substitutes? A: The original UPM2C4R7MPD is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C. ULD2G4R7MPD and 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 extend this to 15000 hours, providing 3x longer operational life. UVZ2V4R7MPD reduces lifetime to 2000 hours. Selection depends on application duty cycle requirements.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification.
