Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPW1C102MPH is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: capacitance (1000 µF), rated voltage (16 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), package type (radial, can), and mounting method (through hole). Substitute parts must maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility in the original circuit application.

The substitute parts identified fall into two categories: direct manufacturer alternatives from Nichicon and equivalent parts from Panasonic Electronic Components. All substitute parts maintain the core electrical parameters and physical footprint required for board-level compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications currently using the UPW1C102MPH, the UPW1C102MPD from Nichicon provides the closest direct substitute, maintaining identical electrical specifications and 5000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C while offering improved RoHS3 compliance and higher inventory availability.

The Panasonic EEU-FC1C102 and EEU-FC1C102S series represent active, production-qualified alternatives with AEC-Q200 automotive ratings and full RoHS3 compliance. These parts maintain all core electrical parameters and physical footprint compatibility. The EEU-FC1C102S is preferred for applications with strict height constraints, as it matches the original 0.787" (20.00mm) seated height, whereas the EEU-FC1C102 reaches 0.984" (25.00mm).

Selection between Nichicon and Panasonic alternatives depends on supply chain requirements, compliance certifications needed, and application-specific environmental ratings. All identified substitutes maintain the required 1000 µF capacitance, 16 V rating, and through-hole radial can package configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPW1C102MPD directly replace the UPW1C102MPH?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1000 µF, 16 V, ±20% tolerance, 5000 Hrs @ 105°C) and physical dimensions (0.394" diameter, 0.787" height, 0.197" lead spacing). The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the key difference between EEU-FC1C102 and EEU-FC1C102S?

A: Both are Panasonic equivalents with identical electrical ratings. The primary distinction is physical height: EEU-FC1C102 reaches 0.984" (25.00mm) seated height, while EEU-FC1C102S is 0.787" (20.00mm), matching the original UPW1C102MPH footprint. Select based on available PCB clearance.

Q: Are the Panasonic EEU-FC series parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both EEU-FC1C102 and EEU-FC1C102S carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings and are classified as active products with full RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the lifetime difference between the UPW1C102MPH and Panasonic substitutes?

A: The UPW1C102MPH and UPW1C102MPD are rated for 5000 hours at 105°C. The Panasonic EEU-FC1C102 and EEU-FC1C102S are rated for 3000 hours at 105°C. Application requirements determine whether this difference is significant.

Q: Are all substitute parts through-hole mounted?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes maintain through-hole radial can package configuration with 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing, ensuring PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
