UPT2W150MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Nichicon UPT2W150MPD is a 15 µF, 450 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package configuration. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting with a 5.00 mm lead spacing. The part is currently active in production status with ROHS3 compliance and maintains a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C operating temperature. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements necessitate enhanced performance characteristics such as extended operational lifetime or improved ripple current handling.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPT2W150MPD is determined by strict adherence to the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

Capacitance value: 15 µF (exact match required)
Rated voltage: 450 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Lead spacing: 5.00 mm (exact match required)
Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Package configuration: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Operating temperature range: -25°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The identified substitute parts, Panasonic EEU-ED2W150 and EEU-EE2W150, satisfy all mandatory substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and temperature range. Both are configured as through-hole radial can packages with 5.00 mm lead spacing and ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction between the main part and substitutes is the extended operational lifetime rating (10000 hours at 105°C versus 5000 hours), which represents an enhancement rather than a deviation from the core specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Panasonic substitute parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance, meeting all regulatory and compliance requirements equivalent to the primary UPT2W150MPD component. The EEU-ED2W150 and EEU-EE2W150 are direct functional equivalents with identical electrical performance in the core parameters of capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range.

Selection between the main part and substitutes should be based on application-specific requirements. The Panasonic alternatives provide extended lifetime ratings of 10000 hours at 105°C, compared to the Nichicon part's 5000-hour rating. Both Panasonic options demonstrate higher ripple current capabilities across the specified frequency ranges. Physical dimensions differ between the main part (10.00 mm diameter, 33.00 mm height) and the Panasonic substitutes (12.50 mm diameter, 25.00 mm or 27.00 mm height), requiring verification of available board space during component selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-ED2W150 or EEU-EE2W150 be used as direct replacements for UPT2W150MPD in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both Panasonic parts are electrically and mechanically compatible substitutes. All core electrical parameters—capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and operating temperature range—are identical. Lead spacing and through-hole mounting configuration match the original specification. Physical dimensions differ; verify available PCB space before implementation.

Q: What is the primary difference between the UPT2W150MPD and the Panasonic substitutes?

A: The main differences are operational lifetime rating and ripple current capacity. The Nichicon UPT2W150MPD is rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, while both Panasonic alternatives are rated for 10000 hours at the same temperature. The Panasonic parts also provide higher ripple current handling at both low and high frequencies. Physical dimensions also differ between the three parts.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Regulatory and compliance status is equivalent across all options.

Q: Which substitute should be selected if PCB space is limited?

A: The UPT2W150MPD offers the smallest physical footprint at 10.00 mm diameter and 33.00 mm height. The EEU-ED2W150 is the most compact Panasonic option at 25.00 mm height, though it maintains a larger 12.50 mm diameter. Verify specific board constraints before selection.

Q: Do the Panasonic substitutes provide any performance advantages?

A: The Panasonic EEU-ED2W150 and EEU-EE2W150 provide doubled operational lifetime (10000 hours versus 5000 hours at 105°C) and significantly higher ripple current ratings. These represent performance enhancements suitable for applications requiring extended service life or higher current ripple tolerance.
