Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPT2E181MHD6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 180 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 250 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Lifetime specification: 5000 Hrs @ 105°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
• Ripple current ratings: 720 mA @ 120 Hz and 1.152 A @ 10 kHz (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Compliance: RoHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The substitute part UPT2E181MHD meets all electrical and environmental specifications. Physical dimensions vary within the radial can package envelope, with differences in diameter and height that do not affect electrical performance or circuit board compatibility for through-hole mounting applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both UPT2E181MHD6 and UPT2E181MHD are Active products from Nichicon with identical electrical specifications and full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is based on physical envelope constraints within the circuit board layout. The UPT2E181MHD6 features a smaller diameter (18.00mm) with reduced height (33.00mm), while the UPT2E181MHD provides a more compact diameter (16.00mm) with increased height (37.00mm). Lead spacing remains constant at 7.50mm for both variants, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. Both parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting equivalent use in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPT2E181MHD be used as a direct replacement for UPT2E181MHD6?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 180 µF capacitance, 250 V rating, ±20% tolerance, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, and equivalent ripple current ratings.
