Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPS2C3R3MPD1TD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Capacitance: 3.3 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.138" (4.60mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.315" Dia (8.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Voltage - Rated: May be equal to or greater than 160 V
• Lifetime @ Temperature: May be equal to or greater than 2000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -40°C ~ 105°C minimum
• RoHS Status: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliance or equivalent

Four substitute parts meet these criteria: ULD2G3R3MPD1TD, UPS2D3R3MPD1TD, UPW2C3R3MPD1TD, and UPW2D3R3MPD1TD.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are manufactured by Nichicon, ensuring consistency with the original component's regulatory and quality standards.

ULD2G3R3MPD1TD provides the highest operational lifetime at 15000 hours at 105°C and supports a rated voltage of 400 V. The increased height of 0.531" (14.60mm) versus the original 0.512" (13.00mm) requires PCB layout verification. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended service life and higher voltage margin.

UPS2D3R3MPD1TD maintains identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics to the main part except for an increased rated voltage of 200 V. This part is suitable for direct replacement where higher voltage rating is acceptable and no PCB modifications are required.

UPW2C3R3MPD1TD offers an extended lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C while maintaining the original 160 V rating and identical physical dimensions. This part is suitable for applications where improved reliability is needed without voltage or size constraints.

UPW2D3R3MPD1TD combines an extended lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C with an increased rated voltage of 200 V. Physical dimensions remain identical to the original part. This part is suitable for applications requiring both improved reliability and higher voltage margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ULD2G3R3MPD1TD be used as a direct replacement for UPS2C3R3MPD1TD?

A: ULD2G3R3MPD1TD is electrically compatible as a substitute. However, its maximum seated height is 0.531" (14.60mm) compared to the original 0.512" (13.00mm). PCB layout must be verified to accommodate the additional 0.019" (0.50mm) height before installation.

Q: What is the primary advantage of ULD2G3R3MPD1TD over other substitutes?

A: ULD2G3R3MPD1TD provides a significantly extended operational lifetime of 15000 hours at 105°C compared to 2000-3000 hours for other substitutes, and supports a higher rated voltage of 400 V.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original UPS2C3R3MPD1TD?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical lead spacing of 0.138" (4.60mm) and mounting type (Through Hole, Radial configuration), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Can substitute parts with higher voltage ratings be used in circuits designed for 160 V?

A: Yes. UPS2D3R3MPD1TD (200 V) and UPW2D3R3MPD1TD (200 V) and ULD2G3R3MPD1TD (400 V) can be used in 160 V circuits. Higher voltage ratings provide additional safety margin and do not affect circuit operation.

Q: Which substitute offers the best balance between improved lifetime and minimal design changes?

A: UPW2C3R3MPD1TD and UPW2D3R3MPD1TD both maintain identical physical dimensions to the original part while providing extended lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C. UPW2D3R3MPD1TD additionally provides increased voltage rating of 200 V.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance, consistent with the original UPS2C3R3MPD1TD.
