Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the UPT2P680MHD are classified based on the following substitution criteria:

Direct Equivalent (Same Electrical & Mechanical Specifications):

• UPT2P680MHD1TO: Identical electrical parameters (68 µF, 220 V, ±20%, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical dimensions. Difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Bulk).

Upgraded Substitute (Enhanced Performance Parameters):

• UCY2E680MHD: Maintains capacitance (68 µF) and mechanical compatibility (same lead spacing, size, height). Upgrades include higher voltage rating (250 V vs. 220 V), extended lifetime (12000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs @ 105°C), wider operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C vs. -25°C ~ 105°C), and increased ripple current capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPT2P680MHD1TO is a direct equivalent suitable for applications where packaging format (Cut Tape) is preferred over Bulk. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, ensuring drop-in compatibility. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and Active product status.

UCY2E680MHD is an upgraded substitute offering enhanced reliability and performance margins. The higher voltage rating (250 V) provides additional safety margin in 220 V circuits. Extended lifetime (12000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) improves long-term reliability. Increased ripple current capability (615 mA @ 120 Hz vs. 340 mA) supports higher current applications. Wider operating temperature range (-40°C lower bound) extends functionality in cold environments. Mechanical compatibility is maintained across all three parts, enabling direct PCB mounting without layout modifications. Both substitute parts are Active status and maintain regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPT2P680MHD1TO replace UPT2P680MHD directly? A: Yes. UPT2P680MHD1TO is electrically and mechanically identical to UPT2P680MHD. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Bulk). Both parts have identical capacitance (68 µF), voltage rating (220 V), lifetime (5000 Hrs @ 105°C), and physical dimensions, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Q: What are the advantages of using UCY2E680MHD over UPT2P680MHD? A: UCY2E680MHD provides three key enhancements: (1) Higher voltage rating (250 V vs. 220 V) for improved safety margin, (2) Extended lifetime (12000 Hrs vs. 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) for increased reliability, and (3) Higher ripple current capability (615 mA vs. 340 mA @ 120 Hz) for applications with greater current demands. Physical dimensions and lead spacing remain identical.

Q: Are all three parts mechanically compatible with the same PCB layout? A: Yes. All three parts (UPT2P680MHD, UPT2P680MHD1TO, and UCY2E680MHD) share identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), diameter (0.492" / 12.50mm), and height (1.043" / 26.50mm). No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between Bulk and Cut Tape packaging? A: Bulk packaging is supplied as loose components, while Cut Tape packaging provides components on adhesive tape in individual cut sections. Both formats contain identical components; packaging choice depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management preferences.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. UPT2P680MHD, UPT2P680MHD1TO, and UCY2E680MHD are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Can UCY2E680MHD be used in a circuit designed for 220 V operation? A: Yes. UCY2E680MHD has a 250 V rating, which exceeds the 220 V requirement. Higher voltage-rated capacitors are suitable for lower voltage applications and provide additional safety margin.
