UPS2VR47MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPS2VR47MPD is a 0.47 µF, 350 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring polar capacitive filtering. The product is obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repairs, and legacy equipment support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPS2VR47MPD is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 0.47 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 350 V (minimum acceptable)
• Tolerance: ±20% (matching specification)
• Polarization: Polar (required for circuit compatibility)
• Package type: Radial, can (physical form factor)
• Mounting type: Through hole (PCB assembly compatibility)
• Lead spacing: 0.138" (4.60 mm) (footprint compatibility)
• Case diameter: 0.315" (8.00 mm) (board space compatibility)
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C (environmental compatibility)

The UPW2VR47MPD meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. Variations in lifetime rating (3000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs at 105°C) and height dimension represent improvements or design refinements that do not compromise substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPW2VR47MPD is a qualified substitute for the obsolete UPS2VR47MPD. Both components are manufactured by Nichicon and maintain identical electrical specifications across capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and ripple current ratings. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The UPW2VR47MPD offers extended lifetime (3000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs at 105°C) and reduced physical height (0.453" vs. 0.512"), providing potential advantages in thermal performance and board space utilization. These differences do not affect substitution compatibility.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, packaging requirements (bulk vs. standard), and application-specific thermal or spatial constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPW2VR47MPD be used as a direct replacement for the UPS2VR47MPD?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (0.47 µF, 350 V, ±20% tolerance), operating temperature range, polarization, and physical footprint (lead spacing and case diameter). Through-hole mounting compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the significance of the different lifetime ratings?

A: The UPW2VR47MPD is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C compared to 2000 hours for the UPS2VR47MPD. This represents improved thermal endurance and does not restrict substitution. The substitute part will perform at least as well as the original in thermal stress conditions.

Q: Does the height difference affect PCB compatibility?

A: The UPW2VR47MPD is 0.059" (1.50 mm) shorter than the UPS2VR47MPD. This reduction in height improves board space utilization and does not compromise electrical function or mechanical fit. Verify clearance in applications with height-constrained layouts.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the UPS2VR47MPD and UPW2VR47MPD are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The UPS2VR47MPD is available in standard packaging, while the UPW2VR47MPD is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
