UPS2F100MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPS2F100MPD is a 10 µF, 315 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The UPS series has been superseded by newer formulations offering extended operational life and improved electrical characteristics while maintaining the same physical footprint and core electrical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPS2F100MPD is determined by the following criteria:

Direct Electrical Compatibility: Capacitance (10 µF), tolerance (±20%), and voltage rating must match or exceed the original specification. The 315 V rating establishes the minimum voltage requirement; substitutes rated at 350 V, 400 V, or 450 V are electrically compatible as they provide equal or greater voltage margin.

Physical Compatibility: Lead spacing (5.00 mm), package type (radial, can), and mounting method (through hole) must remain identical to ensure PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Thermal and Lifetime Characteristics: While the original part specifies 2000 hours at 105°C, substitute parts with equal or extended lifetime ratings are acceptable. Extended lifetime indicates improved reliability under the same thermal conditions.

Compliance and Status: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory standing.

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: direct equivalents (same voltage rating) and upgrades (higher voltage rating with improved lifetime characteristics).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Voltage Rating): UPS2F100MPD1TD is the direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions. However, it carries "Not For New Designs" status. UPW2F100MPD offers the same 315 V rating with extended 5000-hour lifetime, though height is reduced to 0.787 inches.

For Active Production (Recommended): UCS2V100MPD and UCS2G100MPD are active Nichicon products with 8000-hour lifetimes. UCS2V100MPD operates at 350 V, providing 35 V margin above the original specification. UCS2G100MPD operates at 400 V, providing 85 V margin. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for new designs.

For Extended Reliability: EKXF451ELL100MJ20S (Chemi-Con) and 106KFM400M (Cornell Dubilier) offer significantly extended lifetimes of 20000 and 10000 hours respectively at 105°C. These parts are active and ROHS3 compliant, providing superior long-term reliability for critical applications.

For Automotive Applications: MAL215256109E3 and MAL215266109E3 (Vishay) carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are suitable for automotive-grade requirements. Both operate at 400 V with 3000-hour lifetimes and are currently active.

Physical Fit Considerations: Most substitutes maintain the 0.197-inch (5.00 mm) lead spacing and radial, can package. Height variations range from 0.787 to 0.866 inches; verify PCB clearance for applications with tight vertical constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a 350 V or 400 V rated capacitor in place of the 315 V UPS2F100MPD? A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings provide increased voltage margin and are electrically compatible. The circuit will operate safely with the substitute part.

Q: What is the difference between the UPS2F100MPD and UPS2F100MPD1TD? A: Both are identical 10 µF, 315 V, 2000-hour parts from Nichicon. The primary difference is packaging: UPS2F100MPD is supplied in bulk, while UPS2F100MPD1TD is supplied in cut tape. UPS2F100MPD1TD carries "Not For New Designs" status.

Q: Why do some substitutes have different heights? A: Physical dimensions vary between manufacturers and series. UPW2F100MPD is 0.787 inches tall, while most others are 0.846 to 0.866 inches. Verify PCB layout clearance before selection.

Q: Are all listed substitutes ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational life? A: EKXF451ELL100MJ20S (Chemi-Con) provides 20000 hours at 105°C, the highest rated lifetime among all listed substitutes.

Q: Can I use the Vishay MAL215266109E3 in non-automotive applications? A: Yes. While qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards, this part is suitable for general-purpose applications and offers 3000-hour lifetime at 400 V.

Q: What is the minimum voltage rating I should select for a 315 V application? A: The substitute must be rated at 315 V or higher. A 315 V minimum rating provides no safety margin; 350 V or 400 V rated parts are preferred for reliability.
