UPW1V101MPD Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPW1V101MPD is a 100 µF, 35 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial configuration manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C and is classified as Not For New Designs. Due to its obsolescence status, equivalent and substitute parts from active manufacturers or higher-reliability series are necessary for ongoing production and design updates.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPW1V101MPD is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

Capacitance: 100 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 35 V minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
Tolerance: ±20% (matching tolerance)
Polarization: Polar (required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (required)
Package Type: Radial, Can (required)
Lead Spacing: 0.138" (4.60mm) preferred for direct PCB compatibility
Case Diameter: 0.315" (8.00mm) (physical fit requirement)

Secondary Considerations:

Lifetime rating at 105°C (3000 hours or higher acceptable)
Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C minimum)
RoHS3 compliance (maintained across all substitutes)

Parts are grouped as follows:

Upgrade Category: Higher voltage rating (50 V) with same capacitance and footprint.

Similar Category: Same electrical specifications (100 µF, 35 V) with variations in series, lifetime rating, or physical dimensions.

Direct Equivalent Category: Active product status with matching or superior specifications and certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Footprint): EEU-FC1V101 or EEU-FC1V101BJ are recommended as primary substitutes. Both are manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components with Active product status, AEC-Q200 automotive rating, and identical lead spacing (0.138", 4.60mm) and case diameter (0.315", 8.00mm) to the UPW1V101MPD. These parts maintain electrical equivalence at 100 µF, 35 V with matching impedance (117 mOhms).

For Upgraded Voltage Margin: UPW1H101MPD provides a 50 V rating while maintaining the same footprint and Nichicon series continuity. This option is suitable when higher voltage margin is required, though impedance increases to 234 mOhms.

For Extended Lifetime: UPV1V101MGD offers 5000 hours at 105°C compared to the original 3000 hours, providing improved reliability for long-term applications. Physical dimensions increase slightly (height 0.512" vs. 0.453"), requiring PCB layout verification.

For Automotive Applications: UPM1V101MPD includes AEC-Q200 certification and is suitable for automotive-grade designs. It maintains 3000-hour lifetime with improved impedance (160 mOhms) but requires height clearance verification (0.512" vs. 0.453").

For Compact Designs with Different Lead Spacing: ELXZ350ELL101MF15D (Chemi-Con) offers AEC-Q200 certification and active status but features reduced lead spacing (0.098", 2.50mm) and smaller case diameter (0.248", 6.30mm). This part requires PCB redesign and is suitable only for new layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EEU-FC1V101 directly replace UPW1V101MPD without PCB modification?

A: Yes. EEU-FC1V101 matches the critical mechanical parameters: lead spacing (0.138", 4.60mm), case diameter (0.315", 8.00mm), and height (0.453", 11.50mm). Electrical specifications are equivalent at 100 µF, 35 V, ±20% tolerance. The part is Active status with AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: What is the difference between EEU-FC1V101 and EEU-FC1V101BJ?

A: Both are Panasonic FC series with identical electrical specifications. EEU-FC1V101BJ has a slightly taller profile (0.492" vs. 0.453") and is supplied in Cut Tape packaging. EEU-FC1V101 is supplied in Bulk. Lead spacing remains identical at 0.138" (4.60mm).

Q: Why does EEU-FC1V101B have different lead spacing?

A: EEU-FC1V101B features 0.197" (5.00mm) lead spacing and 0.650" (16.50mm) height, making it incompatible with PCBs designed for the standard 0.138" (4.60mm) spacing of UPW1V101MPD. This part requires PCB redesign.

Q: Is UPW1H101MPD a suitable substitute if my circuit can tolerate 50 V?

A: Yes, UPW1H101MPD is electrically and mechanically compatible. The 50 V rating provides additional voltage margin. However, impedance increases to 234 mOhms compared to 117 mOhms in the original part, which may affect ripple current performance in high-frequency applications.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the original UPW1V101MPD?

A: This designation indicates the part is obsolete or in end-of-life status. New designs should use Active status alternatives such as EEU-FC1V101 (Panasonic) or ELXZ350ELL101MF15D (Chemi-Con) to ensure long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Does ELXZ350ELL101MF15D require PCB changes?

A: Yes. ELXZ350ELL101MF15D has reduced lead spacing (0.098" vs. 0.138") and smaller case diameter (0.248" vs. 0.315"). PCB layout modification is required. This part is suitable only for new designs where footprint flexibility exists.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, matching the environmental compliance of the original UPW1V101MPD.

Q: Which substitute offers the best reliability for automotive applications?

A: EEU-FC1V101, EEU-FC1V101BJ, UPM1V101MPD, and ELXZ350ELL101MF15D all carry AEC-Q200 certification. For direct footprint compatibility, EEU-FC1V101 or EEU-FC1V101BJ are preferred. For extended lifetime, UPV1V101MGD offers 5000 hours at 105°C but lacks automotive certification.
