Voltage Rating: 400 V minimum (higher voltage ratings acceptable)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) or 0.138" (4.60mm) acceptable for PCB layout compatibility
Diameter: 0.315" (8.00mm) or 0.394" (10.00mm) acceptable

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on electrical performance and product status:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions within tolerance.

Compatible Substitutes meet all mandatory electrical parameters with minor physical variations (height, diameter) that do not affect PCB mounting or circuit function.

Voltage-Upgraded Substitutes provide higher voltage ratings (450 V) while maintaining all other electrical specifications, suitable for applications with voltage margin requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Footprint and Performance)

UPJ2G2R2MPD1TD is the closest electrical equivalent, maintaining 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C with identical lead spacing and diameter. Height reduction from 0.669" to 0.650" is negligible for PCB clearance. This part is marked "Not For New Designs" but remains suitable for field replacement and legacy system support.

For Active Production and New Designs

MAL214252286E3 and MAL214272286E3 (Vishay) are active production parts with 2500-hour lifetime at 105°C. Both maintain 2.2 µF, 400 V, ±20% specifications and ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions differ (0.315" diameter, 0.138" lead spacing, 0.512" height) and require PCB layout verification for compatibility.

SEK2R2M400ST (Cornell Dubilier) is an active production alternative with identical lead spacing and diameter to the original part. Height is reduced to 0.512", and lifetime is 2000 hours at 105°C. ESR is specified at 120.63 Ohm @ 120 Hz.

For Voltage-Margin Applications

UVZ2W2R2MPD provides 450 V rating while maintaining 2.2 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. Lifetime is 2000 hours at 105°C. Operating temperature range is -25°C ~ 105°C (narrower lower bound than original). This part is suitable for applications requiring voltage headroom above 400 V nominal.

For Compact Form Factor

UVY2G2R2MPD and EKMG401ELL2R2MHB5D offer reduced physical dimensions (0.315" diameter, 0.138" lead spacing, 0.512" height). Lifetime is reduced to 1000 hours at 105°C. These parts are suitable only for applications with relaxed lifetime requirements and where PCB space is constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPJ2G2R2MPD1TD directly replace UPM2G2R2MPD in automotive applications?

A: UPJ2G2R2MPD1TD maintains identical electrical specifications (2.2 µF, 400 V, ±20%, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) and physical dimensions within tolerance. The 0.019" height reduction does not affect PCB mounting. However, UPJ series is marked "Not For New Designs." For new automotive designs, use active production alternatives such as MAL214252286E3 or SEK2R2M400ST.

Q: What is the impact of reduced lifetime (2000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs) when substituting with UVZ2G2R2MPD?

A: Lifetime rating indicates expected operational duration at maximum rated temperature (105°C). UVZ2G2R2MPD provides 2000-hour lifetime compared to the original 5000 hours. This substitution is acceptable only for applications with lower thermal stress or shorter service life requirements. For automotive applications requiring 5000-hour reliability, use UPJ2G2R2MPD1TD or equivalent.

Q: Are MAL214252286E3 and MAL214272286E3 interchangeable?

A: Both parts are electrically identical (2.2 µF, 400 V, ±20%, 2500 Hrs @ 105°C) and physically identical (0.315" diameter, 0.138" lead spacing, 0.512" height). Both are active production parts from Vishay. They are interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Verify PCB layout compatibility due to reduced lead spacing compared to the original UPM2G2R2MPD.

Q: Does SEK2R2M400ST require circuit re-qualification?

A: SEK2R2M400ST maintains identical lead spacing (0.197", 5.00mm) and diameter (0.394", 10.00mm) to UPM2G2R2MPD, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility. Height is reduced from 0.669" to 0.512". Electrical specifications match (2.2 µF, 400 V, ±20%). ESR is specified at 120.63 Ohm @ 120 Hz. Circuit re-qualification is not required for footprint-compatible substitution, but ESR characteristics should be verified against circuit design requirements.

Q: Can UVZ2W2R2MPD (450 V) be used in place of UPM2G2R2MPD (400 V)?

A: UVZ2W2R2MPD provides higher voltage rating (450 V vs. 400 V) while maintaining 2.2 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance. Higher voltage rating does not degrade circuit performance. However, operating temperature range is narrower (-25°C ~ 105°C vs. -40°C ~ 105°C), and lifetime is reduced to 2000 hours. Substitution is acceptable for applications operating above -25°C with relaxed lifetime requirements.

Q: What are the lead spacing implications for compact alternatives?

A: UVY2G2R2MPD and EKMG401ELL2R2MHB5D feature 0.138" (4.60mm) lead spacing compared to the original 0.197" (5.00mm). This requires PCB layout modification and cannot be used as a direct drop-in replacement. Verify PCB trace routing and component placement clearance before substitution. These parts are suitable only for new designs with layout flexibility.

Q: Is ROHS3 compliance maintained across all substitute parts?

A: All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance. This ensures compatibility with environmental and regulatory requirements equivalent to the original UPM2G2R2MPD.
