Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPJ2F100MHD1TO (Direct Equivalent)

The UPJ2F100MHD1TO provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the UPM2F100MHD1TO. Both parts share identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, lifetime, and ripple current specifications. The UPJ series differs only in application classification (general purpose versus automotive) and REACH compliance status. Height variation of 0.020" (0.50 mm) remains within typical PCB assembly tolerances. This substitute is suitable for applications where automotive-specific certification is not mandated.

UPW2V100MHD1TO (Upgraded Substitute)

The UPW2V100MHD1TO offers enhanced performance characteristics with 350 V voltage rating and 7000 hours lifetime at 105°C, exceeding the original part specifications. Mechanical compatibility is maintained with identical lead spacing and case diameter. Height matches the original specification at 0.866" (22.00 mm). The reduced ripple current ratings (82 mA @ 120 Hz, 131.2 mA @ 10 kHz) require verification against circuit requirements. This upgrade path is applicable when higher voltage margin or extended operational life is beneficial to system reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPJ2F100MHD1TO replace UPM2F100MHD1TO in automotive applications?

A: The UPJ2F100MHD1TO lacks AEC-Q200 automotive certification present in the UPM2F100MHD1TO. Substitution in automotive applications requires confirmation that AEC-Q200 compliance is not a design or regulatory requirement for your specific application.

Q: What is the primary difference between UPM2F100MHD1TO and UPW2V100MHD1TO?

A: The UPW2V100MHD1TO provides higher voltage rating (350 V versus 315 V) and extended lifetime (7000 Hrs versus 5000 Hrs at 105°C). Ripple current handling is reduced in the UPW series. Verify that reduced ripple current specifications do not conflict with circuit demands before substitution.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes, all three parts share identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), case diameter (0.492" / 12.50 mm), and through-hole mounting type. Height variation between UPJ2F100MHD1TO (0.846" / 21.50 mm) and the other two parts (0.866" / 22.00 mm) is 0.020" (0.50 mm), which is within standard PCB assembly clearance tolerances.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes, UPJ2F100MHD1TO and UPW2V100MHD1TO are both ROHS3 compliant, matching the original UPM2F100MHD1TO specification.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: All three parts carry "Not For New Designs" status. For new designs, consult Nichicon's current product portfolio for active series recommendations outside the UPM, UPJ, and UPW series.
