Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPS2D470MHD1TO is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

• Capacitance: 47 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 200 V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
• Case Diameter: 0.492" (12.50 mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Secondary Considerations:

• Lifetime @ 105°C: Extended lifetimes provide improved reliability
• Height: Variations within mechanical envelope acceptable if PCB clearance permits
• Ripple Current Ratings: Higher ratings indicate improved performance capability
• Product Status: Active status preferred for new applications

The substitute parts listed maintain all primary parameters while offering extended operational lifetimes and improved electrical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Voltage, Extended Lifetime):

• UCS2D470MHD1TO: Active product status with 10000-hour lifetime. Reduced height (0.846") improves PCB layout flexibility. Significantly higher ripple current ratings (490 mA @ 120 Hz, 980 mA @ 100 kHz) provide enhanced performance margin. Recommended for new designs requiring 200 V rating.
• UCY2D470MHD3TO: Active product status with 12000-hour lifetime. Identical mechanical footprint to UCS2D470MHD1TO. Highest lifetime rating among 200 V options. REACH Affected status requires compliance verification in regulated applications.

Mechanical Equivalent (Same Height Profile):

• UPW2D470MHD1TO: Maintains original height of 1.063" (27.00 mm). Carries "Not For New Designs" status. Lifetime of 7000 hours represents intermediate performance between UPS and UCS series.

Upgraded Voltage Rating:

• UCY2V470MHD1TO: 350 V rating provides overvoltage margin for applications with transient voltage conditions. Active product status. 12000-hour lifetime. Height of 1.043" (26.50 mm) fits within original envelope. Higher ripple current capability (510 mA @ 120 Hz, 1.02 A @ 100 kHz). REACH Affected status requires compliance verification.

Avoid for New Designs:

• UPW2D470MHD: Obsolete status. Bulk packaging unsuitable for automated assembly. Use only for legacy system maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UCS2D470MHD1TO directly replace UPS2D470MHD1TO? A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (47 µF), voltage rating (200 V), lead spacing (5.00 mm), and case diameter (12.50 mm). UCS2D470MHD1TO is mechanically compatible with reduced height (0.846" vs. 1.063"), providing improved PCB layout flexibility. Electrical performance is superior with extended 10000-hour lifetime and higher ripple current ratings.

Q: What is the difference between UCY2D470MHD3TO and UCS2D470MHD1TO? A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical with matching 47 µF capacitance, 200 V rating, 0.846" height, and identical ripple current specifications. UCY2D470MHD3TO offers extended 12000-hour lifetime versus 10000 hours for UCS2D470MHD1TO. UCY2D470MHD3TO carries REACH Affected status; UCS2D470MHD1TO is REACH Unaffected.

Q: Is UCY2V470MHD1TO compatible as a substitute? A: Yes, with voltage margin consideration. UCY2V470MHD1TO maintains 47 µF capacitance and identical mechanical footprint (lead spacing 5.00 mm, case diameter 12.50 mm). The 350 V rating exceeds the original 200 V specification, providing overvoltage protection. Height of 1.043" (26.50 mm) fits within the original 1.063" envelope. Use when circuit design permits higher voltage rating or when overvoltage transient protection is required.

Q: Why is UPW2D470MHD marked as Obsolete? A: UPW2D470MHD is obsolete and available only in Bulk packaging, unsuitable for modern automated assembly processes. The part is retained in inventory for legacy system support only. UCS2D470MHD1TO and UCY2D470MHD3TO are recommended replacements with superior performance and active product status.

Q: What packaging differences exist among substitutes? A: UPS2D470MHD1TO, UCS2D470MHD1TO, UCY2D470MHD3TO, UPW2D470MHD1TO, and UCY2V470MHD1TO are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. UPW2D470MHD is supplied in Bulk packaging, requiring manual handling and unsuitable for high-volume production.

Q: Can height variation affect PCB assembly? A: Height variations among substitutes range from 0.846" (UCS2D470MHD1TO, UCY2D470MHD3TO) to 1.063" (UPS2D470MHD1TO, UPW2D470MHD1TO). Verify PCB clearance envelope and component placement constraints before substitution. Reduced-height options (UCS, UCY 200V series) improve layout flexibility. UCY2V470MHD1TO at 1.043" height fits within the original envelope with minimal clearance impact.
