UPS2E2R2MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPS2E2R2MPD is a 2.2 µF, 250 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C. This part is classified as Obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The UPS series represents legacy technology; modern designs should consider active alternatives with extended operational lifespans and improved thermal performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPS2E2R2MPD is determined by strict electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Direct Electrical Equivalents maintain identical capacitance (2.2 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), and mechanical footprint (0.315" diameter, 0.512" height, 4.60mm lead spacing). These parts are pin-compatible and require no circuit modifications.

Voltage-Upgraded Substitutes increase the rated voltage to 400 V while maintaining 2.2 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, and identical mechanical dimensions. These provide enhanced voltage margin and are mechanically interchangeable.

Extended-Lifetime Upgrades maintain 2.2 µF capacitance and 400 V rating but offer significantly extended operational lifetimes (5000–15000 hours at elevated temperatures) compared to the original 2000 hours. These parts are mechanically compatible with minor height variations (0.512"–0.531").

Similar-Specification Alternatives share the same 2.2 µF capacitance and 250 V rating but feature different mechanical dimensions (smaller case diameter and lead spacing). These require PCB layout verification before substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications): UPS2E2R2MPD1TD is the only direct equivalent, maintaining all electrical and mechanical parameters. However, this part is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating limited future availability. Inventory of 6135 units is currently available.

For Voltage-Upgraded Applications: UVY2G2R2MPD provides 400 V rating with identical mechanical footprint but reduced lifetime (1000 hours vs. 2000 hours). This part is also "Not For New Designs" and represents an interim solution only.

For Extended-Lifetime Production: ULD2G2R2MPD (Nichicon) and 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 (Rubycon) both deliver 15000-hour lifetimes at 105°C with 400 V rating. ULD2G2R2MPD has a maximum height of 0.531" (0.019" taller than original); 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 matches the original 0.512" height. Both are mechanically compatible with the original footprint. 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5 is an alternative Rubycon part with identical specifications and the highest inventory (99967 units).

For Active-Status Alternatives: 400LEX2.2MEFC8X11.5 (Rubycon, Active status) offers 5000-hour lifetime at 125°C with 400 V rating and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C). All Rubycon parts carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level.

For Compact PCB Layouts: EKMG251ELL2R2MF11D, MAL214252283E3, and MAL214272283E3 provide smaller case diameters (0.248" vs. 0.315") and reduced lead spacing. These require PCB layout verification and are suitable only for designs with space constraints. All three maintain 250 V rating and ROHS3 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPS2E2R2MPD1TD be used as a direct replacement? A: Yes. UPS2E2R2MPD1TD is electrically and mechanically identical to UPS2E2R2MPD, with the same 2.2 µF capacitance, 250 V rating, 2000-hour lifetime, and mechanical dimensions. However, it is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating limited future availability.

Q: What is the advantage of upgrading to 400 V rated parts? A: 400 V rated substitutes (UVY2G2R2MPD, ULD2G2R2MPD, 400LEX2.2MEFC8X11.5, 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5, 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5) provide enhanced voltage margin in circuits operating below 250 V. This reduces stress on the capacitor and improves reliability. Extended-lifetime versions (15000 hours) significantly extend service intervals compared to the original 2000-hour specification.

Q: Are Rubycon parts compatible with the original PCB layout? A: Yes. Rubycon 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 and 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5 maintain identical mechanical dimensions (0.315" diameter, 0.512" height, 4.60mm lead spacing) as the original UPS2E2R2MPD. 400LEX2.2MEFC8X11.5 has a maximum height of 0.531", which may require clearance verification in space-constrained designs.

Q: Why do some substitutes have different case diameters? A: Vishay (MAL214232283E3, MAL214252283E3, MAL214272283E3) and Chemi-Con (EKMG251ELL2R2MF11D) parts use smaller case diameters (0.248" vs. 0.315") to achieve compact form factors. These parts are suitable only for PCB layouts designed for smaller packages and require verification of lead spacing compatibility (0.098" to 0.197" vs. original 0.138").

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime? A: ULD2G2R2MPD, 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5, and 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5 all provide 15000-hour lifetimes at 105°C, representing a 7.5× improvement over the original 2000-hour specification. 400LEX2.2MEFC8X11.5 offers 5000 hours at the elevated temperature of 125°C.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance certification. ULD2G2R2MPD is REACH Affected; all other parts are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the inventory status of recommended substitutes? A: 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5 has the highest inventory (99967 units). 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 has 1492 units. ULD2G2R2MPD has 3992 units. UPS2E2R2MPD1TD has 6135 units. Vishay and Chemi-Con alternatives have lower inventory levels (912–3590 units).
