Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPM2V3R3MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Capacitance: 3.3 µF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 350 V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)

Secondary Considerations:

Lifetime @ 105°C: 5000 hours or greater acceptable
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C or wider acceptable
RoHS3 Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories: Direct Equivalents (identical electrical and mechanical specifications), Manufacturer Recommended (higher voltage rating with same footprint), and Similar Parts (compatible with minor parameter variations).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Preferred for Obsolete Part Replacement):

UPM2V3R3MPD1TD and UPJ2V3R3MPD1TD maintain identical electrical specifications (3.3 µF, 350 V, 5000 hours @ 105°C) with matching lead spacing and through-hole mounting. Both are ROHS3 compliant. UPM2V3R3MPD1TD preserves the original UPM series designation and AEC-Q200 automotive rating. UPJ2V3R3MPD1TD offers the same performance with slightly reduced height (0.846" vs 0.866"), suitable for space-constrained layouts.

Manufacturer Recommended Alternative:

UVZ2G3R3MPD provides higher voltage rating (400 V vs 350 V) with identical footprint compatibility (0.197" lead spacing, 10.00mm diameter). This part accepts higher transient voltages while maintaining the same physical mounting interface. Lifetime is reduced to 2000 hours at 105°C, requiring thermal design verification for applications demanding 5000-hour operation.

Compatible Alternatives (Same Footprint, Electrical Variations):

UVZ2V3R3MPD and UPW2V3R3MPD maintain 350 V rating and 5000-hour lifetime with identical lead spacing. Both feature reduced height (0.492" and 0.630" respectively) compared to the original 0.866", enabling compact board layouts. UPW2V3R3MPD is Obsolete; UVZ2V3R3MPD is Not For New Designs.

Cross-Manufacturer Options (Active Status):

EKMG351ELL3R3MJC5S (Chemi-Con, Active) and SEK3R3M350ST (Cornell Dubilier, Active) provide 3.3 µF, 350 V specifications with matching lead spacing and through-hole mounting. Both are ROHS3 compliant. EKMG351ELL3R3MJC5S offers higher ripple current capability at 100 kHz (95 mA). SEK3R3M350ST specifies ESR at 80.42 Ohm @ 120 Hz. Lifetime ratings are 1000 hours and 2000 hours respectively, lower than the original 5000 hours.

Incompatible for Direct Substitution:

UVY2V3R3MPD has different lead spacing (0.138" vs 0.197"), making it unsuitable for direct PCB replacement despite matching capacitance and voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPM2V3R3MPD1TD directly replace the obsolete UPM2V3R3MPD?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (3.3 µF, 350 V, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C), lead spacing (0.197"), and through-hole radial can package. Height difference is 0.020" (0.50mm), which is negligible for most applications. UPM2V3R3MPD1TD maintains AEC-Q200 automotive certification.

Q: What is the difference between UPM2V3R3MPD1TD and UPJ2V3R3MPD1TD?

A: Both provide identical electrical performance and footprint compatibility. UPM2V3R3MPD1TD retains the UPM series designation with AEC-Q200 automotive rating. UPJ2V3R3MPD1TD uses the UPJ series without automotive certification. Height is 0.020" less on the UPJ variant. Selection depends on automotive compliance requirements.

Q: Can UVZ2G3R3MPD be used as a direct replacement?

A: UVZ2G3R3MPD maintains footprint compatibility (0.197" lead spacing, 10.00mm diameter) but differs in three parameters: voltage is 400 V (higher), lifetime is 2000 hours (lower than 5000), and height is 0.492" (significantly shorter). It is suitable for applications where higher voltage rating is beneficial and 2000-hour lifetime is acceptable. Verify thermal and ripple current requirements.

Q: Why does UVY2V3R3MPD appear in the substitute list if lead spacing differs?

A: UVY2V3R3MPD is listed as a similar part but is not recommended for direct PCB substitution due to different lead spacing (0.138" vs 0.197"). It requires PCB redesign or adapter solutions.

Q: Are Chemi-Con EKMG351ELL3R3MJC5S and Cornell Dubilier SEK3R3M350ST suitable replacements?

A: Both are electrically compatible (3.3 µF, 350 V, through-hole radial can, 0.197" lead spacing) and carry Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Lifetime ratings are lower (1000 and 2000 hours respectively vs 5000 hours). They are suitable for applications where reduced lifetime is acceptable. Verify ripple current and ESR specifications against circuit requirements.

Q: What packaging format should I specify for procurement?

A: The original UPM2V3R3MPD uses standard Radial, Can through-hole package. Equivalent parts UPM2V3R3MPD1TD and UPJ2V3R3MPD1TD are available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Verify tape specifications and reel quantities with your supplier to ensure compatibility with assembly equipment.

Q: Is RoHS3 compliance maintained across all substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the original UPM2V3R3MPD compliance status.
