Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPW0J272MPD is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters: capacitance (2700 µF), voltage rating (6.3 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), mounting type (through hole), and package type (radial, can). All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on product status and application suitability:

Active Status Substitutes (Preferred): Parts with Active product status from established manufacturers, suitable for new designs and ongoing production.

Similar Specification Variants: Parts with identical electrical ratings but variations in physical dimensions, lead spacing, or packaging format. These require PCB layout verification.

Automotive-Rated Alternatives: Parts with AEC-Q200 certification for automotive applications, offering enhanced reliability for demanding environments.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Identical Footprint): EEU-FC0J272L is the closest electrical and mechanical equivalent to UPW0J272MPD, maintaining identical lead spacing (5.00mm), similar diameter (10.00mm), and matching impedance (35 mOhms). Product status is Active with AEC-Q200 certification. Lifetime rating is 3000 hours at 105°C, lower than the original 5000 hours.

Extended Lifetime Alternative: ELXZ6R3ELL272MJ30S from Chemi-Con matches the original 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C while maintaining identical lead spacing and diameter. Product status is Active with AEC-Q200 certification. Impedance is 37 mOhms, within acceptable tolerance of the original 35 mOhms.

Automotive-Rated Substitute: UPM0J272MHD from Nichicon provides AEC-Q200 certification with 5000-hour lifetime. Physical dimensions differ (12.50mm diameter, 27.00mm height), requiring PCB layout verification. Impedance is 38 mOhms.

Panasonic FC Series Options: EEU-FC0J272, EEU-FC0J272B, EEU-FC0J272S, and EEU-FC0J272SB are all Active status with AEC-Q200 ratings and 5000-hour lifetimes. These parts feature larger diameters (12.50mm or 16.00mm) and different lead spacings, necessitating PCB redesign for mechanical compatibility.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and rated for -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range, matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-FC0J272L be used as a direct drop-in replacement for UPW0J272MPD?

A: EEU-FC0J272L is mechanically compatible with identical lead spacing (5.00mm) and similar physical dimensions. However, the lifetime rating is 3000 hours at 105°C compared to the original 5000 hours. Verify application requirements for thermal stress conditions before selection.

Q: What is the difference between EEU-FC0J272 and EEU-FC0J272B?

A: Both parts are electrically identical (2700 µF, 6.3 V, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C, AEC-Q200). The difference is packaging format: EEU-FC0J272 is supplied in Bulk, while EEU-FC0J272B is supplied in Tape & Box (TB). Physical dimensions are identical (12.50mm diameter, different heights: 0.787" vs 0.866").

Q: Why do EEU-FC0J272S and EEU-FC0J272SB have different lead spacing?

A: Both parts maintain 0.295" (7.50mm) lead spacing. The difference is packaging format (Bulk vs Tape & Box) and height variation (0.591" vs 0.650"). Lead spacing is identical and requires PCB layout adjustment from the original 5.00mm spacing.

Q: Is ELXZ6R3ELL272MJ30S suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. ELXZ6R3ELL272MJ30S carries AEC-Q200 certification and is rated for automotive use. It maintains the original 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C and is mechanically compatible with UPW0J272MPD (identical lead spacing and diameter).

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for UPW0J272MPD?

A: This product status indicates the part is obsolete or being phased out by the manufacturer. New designs should use Active status alternatives such as EEU-FC0J272L, ELXZ6R3ELL272MJ30S, or other listed Active parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, matching the environmental compliance of the original UPW0J272MPD.
