Equivalent & Substitute Parts for UPS2D2R2MED

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPS2D2R2MED is a 2.2 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C. This component is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers or alternative series within the same manufacturer are necessary to ensure design continuity and procurement availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPS2D2R2MED is determined by the following critical parameters:

Capacitance: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 200 V minimum (higher voltage ratings are acceptable as upgrades)
Tolerance: ±20% (standard tolerance for this category)
Polarization: Polar (electrolytic capacitor type)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical compatibility)
Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm) (PCB footprint compatibility)
Package / Case: Radial, Can (form factor compatibility)

Substitutes are grouped into three categories:

Direct Equivalents: Parts with identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions from the same or equivalent manufacturer series.

Similar Alternatives: Parts with the same core electrical specifications but different mechanical dimensions or lead spacing, requiring PCB layout verification.

Upgrade Options: Parts with enhanced lifetime ratings, higher voltage ratings, or improved temperature performance while maintaining the same capacitance and footprint compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Manufacturer, Obsolete Series)

UPS2D2R2MED1TD is a direct equivalent from Nichicon's UPS series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are obsolete; this substitution maintains design continuity but does not resolve long-term procurement concerns.

Active Manufacturer Alternatives (Same Voltage, 200 V)

SEK2R2M200ST from Cornell Dubilier Electronics is an active product with identical capacitance, voltage rating, and lifetime specification. This part maintains the same lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm) and is ROHS3 compliant. Height differs slightly (0.453" vs. 0.492"), which may require PCB layout verification.

200LEX2.2MEFC6.3X11 and 200LLE2.2MEFC6.3X11 from Rubycon are active products with enhanced lifetime ratings (4000 Hrs @ 125°C and 12000 Hrs @ 105°C respectively). Both maintain the same lead spacing and voltage rating. Height variations require PCB clearance verification.

Upgraded Voltage Rating (250 V)

250LEX2.2MEFC6.3X11, 250LEX2R2MEFC6.3X11, and 250LLE2.2MEFC6.3X11 provide higher voltage ratings (250 V) while maintaining 2.2 µF capacitance and 0.098" lead spacing. These are suitable for applications where voltage margin is beneficial. All are active products with extended lifetime ratings.

Mechanical Compatibility Considerations

UPJ2D2R2MPD has a different lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm) and larger diameter (0.315" / 8.00mm), requiring PCB redesign and is not recommended as a direct substitute without layout modification.

UPW2D2R2MED has a reduced height (0.433" vs. 0.492"), which may provide space savings but requires clearance verification.
