Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Nichicon UCY2E151MHD6 qualifies as a substitute for the UPT2P151MHD based on the following substitution criteria:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Identical capacitance: 150 µF
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Voltage rating: 250 V (exceeds 220 V requirement, providing voltage headroom)
• Polarization: Polar (identical)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) — identical
• Size / Dimension: 0.492" Dia (12.50mm) — identical
• Height - Seated (Max): 1.634" (41.50mm) — identical
• Mounting type: Through Hole — identical
• Package / Case: Radial, Can — identical

Operational Enhancement:

• Extended lifetime: 12000 Hrs @ 105°C (versus 5000 Hrs @ 105°C)
• Expanded operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 105°C (versus -25°C ~ 105°C)
• Increased ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UPT2P151MHD and UCY2E151MHD6 maintain Active product status and are RoHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for current applications. The UCY2E151MHD6 provides enhanced performance characteristics through increased voltage rating (250 V versus 220 V), extended operational lifetime (12000 Hrs versus 5000 Hrs at 105°C), and expanded temperature operating range (-40°C versus -25°C minimum). These improvements do not compromise mechanical or electrical compatibility, as all critical parameters—capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, package dimensions, and mounting configuration—remain identical. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for operational lifetime, temperature extremes, and voltage margin requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCY2E151MHD6 be used as a direct replacement for the UPT2P151MHD in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (150 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (5.00mm), physical dimensions (0.492" diameter, 1.634" height), and through-hole radial can package configuration. The higher voltage rating (250 V) of the UCY2E151MHD6 is compatible with circuits designed for 220 V operation.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (250 V versus 220 V), operational lifetime (12000 Hrs versus 5000 Hrs at 105°C), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 105°C), and ripple current capability. The UCY2E151MHD6 offers enhanced performance in all these areas.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and maintain Active product status. The UCY2E151MHD6 is REACH Affected, while the UPT2P151MHD is REACH Unaffected. Both carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes.

Q: Does the higher voltage rating of the substitute part affect circuit performance?

A: No. A higher voltage-rated capacitor operates safely in circuits designed for lower voltages. The 250 V rating of the UCY2E151MHD6 provides additional voltage margin without altering capacitance or other electrical characteristics relevant to circuit function.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical for PCB mounting?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical lead spacing (5.00mm) and package dimensions, ensuring direct compatibility with existing through-hole PCB layouts.
