Nichicon UPT2E470MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPT2E470MPD is a 47 µF, 250 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package configuration. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring reliable energy storage and filtering in power supply circuits. The UPT series offers a 5000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C operating temperature with ±20% capacitance tolerance.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design requirements demand extended operational lifetime, or when specific mechanical constraints require alternative package dimensions while maintaining electrical compatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

Mounting Type: Through Hole (all substitutes)
Package Type: Radial, Can (all substitutes)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) or 0.295" (7.50 mm) acceptable with PCB layout verification
Diameter and Height: Physical space constraints determine compatibility

Performance Characteristics (Allowed Variation):

Lifetime @ 105°C: Equal to or greater than 5000 hours
Ripple Current Ratings: May vary based on series design
Product Status: Active or Obsolete (both acceptable if electrical parameters match)

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical equivalence to the UPT2E470MPD while offering alternative mechanical configurations or extended operational lifetimes.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Mechanical Replacement (Identical Lead Spacing 0.197" / 5.00 mm):

ECA-2EHG470 and ECA-2EHG470B are direct mechanical substitutes with identical lead spacing to the UPT2E470MPD. Both are Panasonic Active products with ROHS3 compliance. These parts accommodate existing PCB footprints without modification. Note that these parts carry a 2000-hour lifetime rating, which is lower than the original specification.

EEU-ED2E470 and EEU-EE2E470 maintain identical lead spacing with extended 10000-hour lifetime ratings at 105°C. Both are Panasonic Active products with ROHS3 compliance. EEU-EE2E470 offers superior ripple current handling at high frequency (1.29 A @ 100 kHz).

Alternative Mechanical Configuration (Lead Spacing 0.295" / 7.50 mm):

UCA2E470MHD6 (Nichicon, Obsolete) and EEU-EB2E470S (Panasonic, Active) feature wider lead spacing and larger physical dimensions. These require PCB layout modification but offer extended operational lifetimes (12000 hours and 5000 hours respectively). EEU-ED2E470S provides the highest lifetime rating (10000 hours) with wider lead spacing and compact height of 0.787".

Compliance Status:

All listed substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching the original part's regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use ECA-2EHG470 as a direct replacement for UPT2E470MPD?

A: Yes, electrically and mechanically. Both share identical capacitance (47 µF), voltage rating (250 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), and operating temperature range (-25°C to 105°C). The ECA-2EHG470 is an Active Panasonic product with ROHS3 compliance. However, its 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C is lower than the UPT2E470MPD's 5000-hour rating.

Q: What is the difference between EEU-ED2E470 and EEU-EE2E470?

A: Both are Panasonic Active products with identical electrical specifications (47 µF, 250 V, ±20%, 10000-hour lifetime). The primary difference is ripple current capacity: EEU-ED2E470 handles 920 mA @ 100 kHz, while EEU-EE2E470 handles 1.29 A @ 100 kHz. Both maintain the 0.197" (5.00 mm) lead spacing of the original part.

Q: Can I use UCA2E470MHD6 if my PCB has the standard 0.197" lead spacing?

A: No. UCA2E470MHD6 has 0.295" (7.50 mm) lead spacing, which is incompatible with PCB layouts designed for 0.197" spacing. PCB modification would be required.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime?

A: UCA2E470MHD6 (Nichicon, Obsolete) provides 12000 hours at 105°C. However, if an Active product is required, EEU-ED2E470, EEU-ED2E470S, and EEU-EE2E470 all offer 10000-hour lifetimes.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching the regulatory requirements of the UPT2E470MPD.

Q: What is the difference between ECA-2EHG470 and ECA-2EHG470B?

A: Both are Panasonic NHG-A series parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging: ECA-2EHG470 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while ECA-2EHG470B is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging.
