UPS2F2R2MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPS2F2R2MPD is a 2.2 µF, 315 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. Substitute parts maintain the same capacitance and tolerance while offering improved voltage ratings, extended lifetimes, or enhanced reliability certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPS2F2R2MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Capacitance: Must remain 2.2 µF
Tolerance: Must remain ±20%
Voltage Rating: Substitute parts must equal or exceed 315 V
Polarization: Must remain Polar
Lead Spacing: Must remain 0.197" (5.00mm)
Size / Dimension: Must remain 0.394" Dia (10.00mm)
Mounting Type: Must remain Through Hole
Package / Case: Must remain Radial, Can

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: MFR Recommended (same voltage class, improved availability) and Upgrade (higher voltage rating or extended lifetime for enhanced reliability).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MFR Recommended Substitute: UVZ2G2R2MPD

The Nichicon UVZ2G2R2MPD provides direct functional equivalence with improved voltage margin (400 V vs. 315 V) and maintains the same 2000-hour lifetime rating. This part is classified as "Not For New Designs" but offers superior availability (3519 units in stock) compared to the obsolete UPS2F2R2MPD. The reduced height (12.50mm vs. 14.00mm) provides additional PCB layout flexibility. This substitute is suitable for replacement in existing designs where the higher voltage rating does not conflict with circuit requirements.

Upgrade Substitutes: MAL214267228E3, MAL215256228E3, MAL215266228E3

The Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components parts offer active product status with extended lifetime ratings (2500–3000 hours at 105°C). MAL215256228E3 and MAL215266228E3 include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are specified for automotive applications. These upgrades provide enhanced reliability for long-term deployment. MAL214267228E3 offers the highest voltage rating (450 V) for applications requiring maximum voltage margin. All three upgrade parts maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original UPS2F2R2MPD.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVZ2G2R2MPD be used as a direct replacement for UPS2F2R2MPD?

A: Yes. The UVZ2G2R2MPD maintains identical capacitance (2.2 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (5.00mm), and package type (radial, can). The higher voltage rating (400 V vs. 315 V) is compatible with circuits designed for 315 V operation. The reduced height (12.50mm vs. 14.00mm) must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Q: What is the difference between MFR Recommended and Upgrade substitutes?

A: MFR Recommended substitutes (UVZ2G2R2MPD) maintain the same lifetime rating as the original part but offer improved availability. Upgrade substitutes (MAL series) provide extended lifetime ratings (2500–3000 hours vs. 2000 hours) and active product status, making them suitable for new designs and applications requiring enhanced reliability.

Q: Are the Vishay MAL215256228E3 and MAL215266228E3 parts identical?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.2 µF, 400 V, 3000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical dimensions. Both include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and internal part numbering conventions within your supply chain.

Q: Can substitute parts with higher voltage ratings be used in circuits designed for 315 V?

A: Yes. Capacitors with higher voltage ratings (400 V or 450 V) are electrically compatible with circuits designed for lower voltages (315 V). The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the impact of height differences on PCB layout?

A: The UVZ2G2R2MPD (12.50mm height) is shorter than the original UPS2F2R2MPD (14.00mm height), while Vishay upgrade parts (14.60mm height) fall between these values. Verify that the substitute part height does not conflict with PCB clearance requirements, component stacking, or enclosure constraints before implementation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (UVZ2G2R2MPD, MAL214267228E3, MAL215256228E3, MAL215266228E3) are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.
