UPS2D4R7MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPS2D4R7MPD is a 4.7 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts with improved specifications or active product status are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPS2D4R7MPD is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

Capacitance: 4.7 µF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Secondary Substitution Parameters (allow variation):

Voltage Rating: 200 V or higher (higher ratings provide design margin)
Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C or higher (improved reliability)
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C or wider (improved performance envelope)
RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement maintained)

Substitutes are grouped into three categories: direct equivalents (same voltage rating), manufacturer-recommended upgrades (higher voltage rating), and similar alternatives (same voltage with different lead spacing or lifetime specifications).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Voltage Rating): UPS2D4R7MPD1TD is the direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications and lead spacing. However, it carries "Not For New Designs" status. This part maintains the original 200 V rating and 2000-hour lifetime specification.

Manufacturer-Recommended Upgrade (Higher Voltage Rating): UVZ2V4R7MPD provides a 350 V rating while maintaining the same 4.7 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, and 2000-hour lifetime. The increased voltage rating provides additional design margin for applications with voltage transients or margin requirements. Lead spacing remains 0.197" (5.00mm), ensuring PCB compatibility.

Premium Upgrade (Highest Voltage and Lifetime): ULD2G4R7MPD and 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 both offer 400 V rating with extended lifetime specifications (15000 hours at 105°C). These parts provide maximum design margin and reliability. Both maintain the required 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing and are suitable for applications requiring enhanced performance envelope.

Active Product Status Alternative: 400PX4.7MEFC10X12.5, 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5, and 400LEX4.7MEFC10X12.5 from Rubycon are all active products with 400 V rating. These parts ensure long-term availability and supply chain continuity. All three maintain the 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing required for direct PCB substitution.

Compliance Consideration: All listed substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements equivalent to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPS2D4R7MPD be replaced with a higher voltage-rated capacitor? A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings (250 V, 350 V, or 400 V) are direct substitutes provided all other parameters remain constant: 4.7 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing, radial can package, and through-hole mounting. Higher voltage ratings provide additional design margin without affecting circuit functionality.

Q: What is the significance of lead spacing in substitution? A: Lead spacing determines PCB hole pattern compatibility. The UPS2D4R7MPD uses 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing. Substitutes with different lead spacing (such as UVY2D4R7MED at 0.098" or UVZ2D4R7MPD at 0.138") require PCB modification and are not direct drop-in replacements.

Q: Why do some substitutes have different physical dimensions? A: Physical dimensions vary across product series due to different internal construction and performance specifications. UPW2E4R7MPD has a maximum height of 0.492" compared to UPS2D4R7MPD at 0.551". Verify clearance in the application before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between "Obsolete" and "Not For New Designs" status? A: "Obsolete" indicates the part is no longer manufactured. "Not For New Designs" indicates the part is still available but not recommended for new circuit designs. Both statuses suggest using active product alternatives when possible.

Q: Are Rubycon parts (400PX4.7MEFC10X12.5, 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5, 400LEX4.7MEFC10X12.5) compatible with the original Nichicon UPS2D4R7MPD? A: Yes, all three Rubycon parts are compatible substitutes. They maintain the required 4.7 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing, and radial can package. All three carry active product status, ensuring supply chain continuity. The 400 V rating provides higher voltage margin than the original 200 V specification.

Q: Which substitute offers the best reliability for long-term applications? A: 400LLE4R7MEFC10X12.5 and ULD2G4R7MPD both offer 15000-hour lifetime at 105°C, compared to 2000 hours for the original part. 400LEX4.7MEFC10X12.5 extends the operating temperature to 125°C with 5000-hour lifetime, providing enhanced thermal performance.

Q: Can packaging type (Cut Tape vs. Bulk) affect substitution? A: Packaging type affects supply and handling but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. UPS2D4R7MPD1TD in Cut Tape (CT) packaging is electrically identical to bulk-packaged alternatives. Select packaging based on procurement and assembly requirements.
