Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPS2G3R3MPD is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Capacitance: 3.3 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 400 V (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory compliance)

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on product status and lifetime ratings:

MFR Recommended: UVZ2G3R3MPD (Nichicon UVZ series, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C, Not For New Designs)

Upgrade Option: UPW2G3R3MPD (Nichicon UPW series, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C, extended lifetime)

Similar Alternatives: UVY2G3R3MPD (Nichicon UVY series, 1000 Hrs @ 105°C), EKMG401ELL3R3MJC5S (Chemi-Con KMG series, 1000 Hrs @ 105°C, Active status), SEK3R3M400ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics SEK series, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C, Active status)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Lifetime): UVZ2G3R3MPD is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from Nichicon, matching the 2000-hour lifetime specification of the UPS2G3R3MPD. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and share identical electrical ratings. UVZ2G3R3MPD is classified as Not For New Designs but remains suitable for legacy system support.

For Extended Lifetime Applications: UPW2G3R3MPD offers 5000 hours at 105°C, providing enhanced reliability for designs requiring longer operational life. This upgrade maintains all electrical and mechanical compatibility while extending the thermal lifetime rating.

For Active Product Line Selection: EKMG401ELL3R3MJC5S (Chemi-Con) and SEK3R3M400ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) are both active products meeting all electrical and mechanical requirements. EKMG401ELL3R3MJC5S provides 1000-hour lifetime, while SEK3R3M400ST matches the original 2000-hour specification. Both are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for new designs.

Mechanical Compatibility Note: UVY2G3R3MPD differs in lead spacing (0.138" vs. 0.197") and body diameter (0.315" vs. 0.394"), making it incompatible with PCB layouts designed for the UPS2G3R3MPD without redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVZ2G3R3MPD be used as a direct replacement for UPS2G3R3MPD?

A: Yes. UVZ2G3R3MPD is electrically and mechanically equivalent to UPS2G3R3MPD. Both are 3.3 µF, 400 V, polar aluminum electrolytic capacitors with 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C, identical lead spacing (5.00mm), and matching body dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the advantage of UPW2G3R3MPD over UVZ2G3R3MPD?

A: UPW2G3R3MPD extends the thermal lifetime to 5000 hours at 105°C compared to 2000 hours for UVZ2G3R3MPD. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. This upgrade is beneficial for applications requiring extended operational life in high-temperature environments.

Q: Why is UVY2G3R3MPD listed as a substitute if it has different dimensions?

A: UVY2G3R3MPD meets the core electrical specifications (3.3 µF, 400 V, ±20% tolerance, polar, -40°C to 105°C) but differs in lead spacing and body diameter. It is not a direct PCB replacement without layout modification. It is listed as a similar alternative for applications where mechanical redesign is acceptable.

Q: Are EKMG401ELL3R3MJC5S and SEK3R3M400ST suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as Active products and are ROHS3 compliant. EKMG401ELL3R3MJC5S (Chemi-Con) and SEK3R3M400ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) meet all electrical and mechanical requirements for the UPS2G3R3MPD application. SEK3R3M400ST matches the original 2000-hour lifetime specification.

Q: What is the difference between "Not For New Designs" and "Obsolete" status?

A: "Obsolete" indicates the part is no longer manufactured and inventory is depleted. "Not For New Designs" indicates the part is still available but the manufacturer recommends against using it in new product development. Both statuses indicate the need for alternative sourcing.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different lifetime rating?

A: Lifetime rating selection depends on application requirements. For equivalent performance to UPS2G3R3MPD (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), use UVZ2G3R3MPD or SEK3R3M400ST. For extended reliability, use UPW2G3R3MPD (5000 Hrs @ 105°C). For cost-optimized designs, UVY2G3R3MPD or EKMG401ELL3R3MJC5S (1000 Hrs @ 105°C) are acceptable if application thermal stress is lower.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the regulatory compliance of the UPS2G3R3MPD.
