UPS2DR47MED Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPS2DR47MED is a 0.47 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 designed for general-purpose applications requiring polar capacitive filtering. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing maintenance, repair, and redesign activities where this capacitor was originally specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the UPS2DR47MED must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

Capacitance: 0.47 µF
Voltage Rating: 200 V
Tolerance: ±20%
Polarization: Polar

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

Package Type: Radial, Can
Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50 mm)
Diameter: 0.248" (6.30 mm)
Height: 0.492" (12.50 mm)
Mounting Type: Through Hole

Acceptable Variation:

Lifetime @ Temperature: May differ from 2000 Hrs @ 105°C, provided the substitute meets or exceeds application requirements
Ripple Current ratings: May vary within the specified electrical envelope

The UVY2DR47MED qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all electrical and mechanical parameters, despite a reduced lifetime specification of 1000 Hrs @ 105°C compared to the original 2000 Hrs @ 105°C.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UVY2DR47MED is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the UPS2DR47MED. Both components are manufactured by Nichicon, maintain identical capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and physical dimensions, and are compliant with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

The primary difference is the reduced lifetime specification: UVY2DR47MED is rated for 1000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 2000 Hrs @ 105°C for the UPS2DR47MED. This difference must be evaluated against the specific application's thermal stress profile and expected service life requirements. In applications where the original 2000-hour lifetime was a critical design parameter, the reduced lifetime of the substitute should be confirmed as acceptable through circuit analysis or thermal modeling.

Both parts are obsolete, indicating limited future availability. Inventory status shows adequate stock for both components at the time of this reference.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVY2DR47MED be used as a direct replacement for UPS2DR47MED in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both components have identical lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50 mm), diameter (0.248" / 6.30 mm), and height (0.492" / 12.50 mm). The through-hole footprint is identical, and no PCB modification is required.

Q: What is the impact of the reduced lifetime specification?

A: The UVY2DR47MED is rated for 1000 Hrs @ 105°C compared to 2000 Hrs @ 105°C for the UPS2DR47MED. This represents a 50% reduction in rated lifetime at maximum operating temperature. Applications operating continuously at or near 105°C should evaluate whether this reduced lifetime meets their service life requirements.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both UPS2DR47MED and UVY2DR47MED are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Why are both parts listed as obsolete?

A: Both the UPS and UVY series from Nichicon are no longer in active production. However, inventory remains available from authorized distributors. For long-term supply assurance, evaluation of current-production alternatives with matching electrical specifications should be considered.

Q: Do the ripple current ratings differ between these parts?

A: Yes. UPS2DR47MED is rated for 12 mA @ 120 Hz and 19.2 mA @ 10 kHz, while UVY2DR47MED is rated for 11 mA @ 120 Hz and 17.6 mA @ 10 kHz. These differences are minor and reflect the different series designs. Applications should confirm that the UVY2DR47MED ripple current ratings are acceptable for their specific circuit conditions.
