UPS2G4R7MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPS2G4R7MPD is a 4.7 µF, 400 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers or alternative series are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPS2G4R7MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Capacitance: 4.7 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 400 V minimum (higher voltage ratings are acceptable)
Tolerance: ±20% (standard tolerance)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (mechanical compatibility)
Package Type: Radial, Can (physical form factor)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (PCB layout compatibility)
Case Diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (board space constraint)
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (thermal environment compatibility)
Polarization: Polar (electrical requirement)

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories: direct equivalents (same electrical and mechanical specifications), manufacturer-recommended alternatives (same core specifications with improved or equivalent performance), and upgrades (enhanced lifetime or voltage rating).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Nichicon Series)

UVY2G4R7MPD and UVZ2G4R7MPD are direct electrical equivalents with identical capacitance, voltage rating, and lifetime specifications. Both maintain the same lead spacing and case diameter. UVY2G4R7MPD has a reduced height of 0.551" (14.00 mm) compared to the original 0.866" (22.00 mm), offering space savings. UVZ2G4R7MPD has an intermediate height of 0.689" (17.50 mm). Both are classified as "Not For New Designs" but remain available in high inventory quantities.

Upgraded Lifetime Option (Nichicon UPW Series)

UPW2G4R7MPD provides extended lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C compared to the original 2000 hours, with identical electrical specifications and lead spacing. Height is 0.787" (20.00 mm). This part is classified as obsolete but offers improved reliability for applications requiring extended operational life.

Higher Voltage Rating Options (Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components)

MAL215257478E3 and MAL215267478E3 are rated at 450 V, providing 50 V margin above the original 400 V specification. Both deliver 3000 hours lifetime at 105°C and are classified as active products with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Height matches the original at 0.866" (22.00 mm). These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced voltage margin and automotive-grade reliability.

Active Manufacturer Alternatives

EKMG401ELL4R7MJ16S (Chemi-Con KMG series) maintains 400 V rating with 1000 hours lifetime at 105°C and is actively produced. Height is 0.689" (17.50 mm). MAL214234786E3 and MAL214254786E3 (Vishay 142 RHS series) both provide 2500 hours lifetime at 105°C with 400 V rating and are actively produced. Both have reduced height of 0.531" (14.60 mm). SEK4R7M400ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics SEK series) is actively produced with 2000 hours lifetime at 105°C and 400 V rating, with height of 0.630" (16.00 mm).

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and the required through-hole radial can package format with 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing and 0.394" (10.00 mm) case diameter.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVY2G4R7MPD be used as a direct replacement for UPS2G4R7MPD?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical capacitance (4.7 µF), voltage rating (400 V), tolerance (±20%), lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), and case diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm). The primary difference is reduced height (0.551" vs. 0.866"), which provides space savings on the PCB.

Q: What is the advantage of UPW2G4R7MPD over the original UPS2G4R7MPD?

A: UPW2G4R7MPD extends the lifetime rating from 2000 hours to 5000 hours at 105°C while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. This provides improved reliability for applications with extended operational requirements or higher thermal stress.

Q: Are the Vishay MAL215257478E3 and MAL215267478E3 parts compatible with the original UPS2G4R7MPD?

A: These parts are compatible with the same lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) and case diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm). They provide a higher voltage rating of 450 V compared to the original 400 V, and extended lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C. The increased voltage rating provides additional design margin. Both are actively produced and AEC-Q200 qualified for automotive applications.

Q: What is the difference between MAL214234786E3 and MAL214254786E3?

A: Both parts are from the Vishay 142 RHS series with identical electrical specifications: 4.7 µF, 400 V, ±20% tolerance, 2500 hours lifetime at 105°C. The primary difference is packaging: MAL214234786E3 is supplied in Tape & Box (TB) format, while MAL214254786E3 is supplied in bulk. Both have the same reduced height of 0.531" (14.60 mm) and are actively produced.

Q: Can EKMG401ELL4R7MJ16S be used as a long-term replacement?

A: EKMG401ELL4R7MJ16S is actively produced by Chemi-Con with identical capacitance, voltage rating, and mechanical specifications. However, its lifetime rating is 1000 hours at 105°C, which is half that of the original UPS2G4R7MPD (2000 hours). This part is suitable for applications with lower thermal stress or shorter operational life requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same PCB footprint?

A: All substitute parts maintain the same lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) and case diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. Heights vary between 0.531" and 0.866", which may affect vertical clearance but does not impact electrical connectivity or lead positioning.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
