Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPM2F4R7MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 4.7 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage Rating: May be equal to or greater than 315 V
• Lifetime @ 105°C: May be equal to or greater than 5000 Hrs
• Physical Height: May vary within mechanical envelope constraints
• Ripple Current: May vary based on voltage and series characteristics
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted if all other parameters match

All substitute parts listed maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, package configuration, and mounting characteristics. Voltage ratings and lifetime specifications meet or exceed the original part requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Same Voltage Rating): UPM2F4R7MPD1TD is the direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. This part maintains the same 315 V rating, 5000-hour lifetime, and AEC-Q200 automotive compliance as the original. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). This part is suitable for applications requiring exact parameter matching.

Higher Voltage Rating Substitutes: UPJ2V4R7MPD1TD and UPM2V4R7MPD1TD both provide 350 V ratings with maintained 5000-hour lifetime specifications. These parts are electrically compatible in circuits designed for 315 V operation, as the higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin. UPM2V4R7MPD1TD retains AEC-Q200 automotive certification.

UVZ2G4R7MPD provides 400 V rating but features reduced 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C. This part is suitable only for applications where extended voltage margin is prioritized over lifetime duration.

Extended Lifetime Alternative: 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 (Rubycon LLE series) offers 400 V rating with 15000-hour lifetime at 105°C, representing significant improvement in operational longevity. This part is currently Active status and features reduced physical height (0.571" versus 0.866"), which may require PCB layout verification. This part is recommended for new designs requiring extended service life.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) for direct PCB compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM2F4R7MPD1TD be used as a direct replacement for UPM2F4R7MPD? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (4.7 µF, 315 V, ±20%, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) and physical dimensions. The difference is packaging format: UPM2F4R7MPD1TD is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format while the original is Bulk. PCB footprint and mounting characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the difference between 315 V and 350 V rated parts? A: The voltage rating indicates the maximum continuous voltage the capacitor can withstand. A 350 V or 400 V rated capacitor can be used in a 315 V circuit with no functional change, providing additional voltage safety margin. However, the capacitor will occupy the same physical space and maintain identical capacitance and tolerance values.

Q: Why does UVZ2G4R7MPD have lower lifetime (2000 Hrs) compared to the original (5000 Hrs)? A: Lifetime at rated temperature is a design characteristic of the specific capacitor series. UVZ2G4R7MPD achieves higher voltage rating (400 V) within the same physical envelope, resulting in different thermal and electrical characteristics that yield lower lifetime specification. This part is suitable only for applications where voltage margin is the primary requirement.

Q: Is 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 compatible with the original PCB layout? A: The part maintains identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) and mounting type (Through Hole, Radial). However, physical height is reduced (0.571" versus 0.866"), which may affect clearance in confined spaces. PCB layout verification is required to confirm mechanical fit within the available envelope.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance status, consistent with the original UPM2F4R7MPD specification.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for new automotive designs? A: UPM2V4R7MPD1TD maintains AEC-Q200 automotive certification with 350 V rating and 5000-hour lifetime. For general purpose applications not requiring automotive qualification, 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 offers superior lifetime (15000 Hrs) and is currently Active status.
