UPT2G470MHD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPT2G470MHD is a 47 µF, 400 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package rated for 5000 hours at 105°C. This component is classified as Active product status and is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. Substitute parts are necessary when the UPT series becomes unavailable, when extended lifetime requirements exceed 5000 hours, or when alternative lead spacing and dimensional specifications better suit PCB layout constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Same Lifetime, Nichicon Series)

UCA2G470MHD provides extended lifetime (12000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs) while maintaining Nichicon UPT series compatibility. Product status is Obsolete; verify inventory availability before design commitment. Lead spacing increases from 5.00mm to 7.50mm; PCB layout modification required.

Active Status Alternatives (Panasonic EEU Series)

EEU-EB2G470 and EEU-EB2G470S maintain 5000-hour lifetime matching UPT2G470MHD performance. Both are Active status with robust inventory. Lead spacing changes to 7.50mm; dimensional variations require PCB verification. EEU-EB2G470S offers compact height (27.00mm) versus standard EEU-EB2G470 (34.60mm).

Extended Lifetime Options (10000 Hours)

EEU-ED2G470, EEU-ED2G470B, EEU-ED2G470S, EEU-ED2G470SB, EEU-EE2G470, and EEU-EE2G470S all provide 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C. All are Active status. EEU-ED series offers compact heights (20.00mm to 27.00mm). EEU-EE series provides highest ripple current capability (1.18 A @ 100 kHz). Lead spacing standardized at 7.50mm across all options.

Budget-Conscious Selection

ECA-2GHG470 (Panasonic NHG-A series) offers highest inventory (16074 Pcs) and lowest cost profile. Lifetime is reduced to 2000 hours; acceptable only for non-critical applications with relaxed reliability requirements. Lead spacing 7.50mm; dimensional compatibility verified.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and -25°C to 105°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-ED2G470 replace UPT2G470MHD directly on the PCB?

A: Electrical parameters are fully compatible (47 µF, 400 V, ±20%, 5000+ hour lifetime). Lead spacing changes from 5.00mm to 7.50mm; PCB hole pattern modification is required. Verify clearance for diameter increase from 12.50mm to 16.00mm and height reduction to 25.00mm.

Q: What is the difference between EEU-EB2G470 and EEU-EB2G470S?

A: Both maintain identical electrical specifications (47 µF, 400 V, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C, ±20% tolerance). EEU-EB2G470S has larger diameter (18.00mm vs. 16.00mm) and shorter height (27.00mm vs. 34.60mm). Selection depends on available PCB space and mounting constraints.

Q: Is UCA2G470MHD suitable as a long-term replacement?

A: UCA2G470MHD provides superior lifetime (12000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs) and is electrically compatible. Product status is Obsolete; inventory availability is limited (942 Pcs). For new designs, select Active status alternatives such as EEU-ED or EEU-EE series.

Q: Which substitute offers the best ripple current performance?

A: EEU-EE2G470 and EEU-EE2G470S provide highest ripple current at 100 kHz (1.18 A). EEU-ED series provides 840 mA @ 100 kHz. Selection based on circuit ripple current requirements and thermal management capability.

Q: Can I use ECA-2GHG470 in a critical application?

A: ECA-2GHG470 has reduced lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 105°C) compared to UPT2G470MHD (5000 Hrs). Use only in non-critical applications where extended reliability is not required. For mission-critical designs, select EEU-ED or EEU-EE series (10000 Hrs).

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: Substitute parts are available in Bulk and Cut Tape (CT) formats. Bulk packaging is standard for component procurement. Cut Tape format (EEU-ED2G470B, EEU-ED2G470SB) is available for automated assembly processes. Format selection does not affect electrical performance.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching UPT2G470MHD environmental certifications.
