Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPW1V221MPH is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute parts must match the following core criteria:

Capacitance: 220 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: 35 V (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
Diameter: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
Height (Max): 0.492" (12.50mm) (exact match required)

Parts meeting these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in lifetime rating, ripple current specifications, impedance, or compliance certifications do not disqualify substitution but indicate performance or regulatory differences.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPW1V221MPD is the direct substitute for UPW1V221MPH. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and lead spacing. The primary difference is product status: UPW1V221MPD is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating limited future availability. UPW1V221MPD is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original part is non-compliant.

EEU-FC1V221 and EEU-FC1V221L are similar parts from Panasonic that match the core electrical parameters but differ in mechanical dimensions and lifetime ratings. EEU-FC1V221 maintains the same physical footprint as the main part with a 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. EEU-FC1V221L has different lead spacing (0.138" vs. 0.197"), diameter (0.315" vs. 0.394"), and height (0.591" vs. 0.492"), making it unsuitable for direct PCB mounting without layout modification. Both Panasonic parts are ROHS3 compliant and active products.

For applications requiring the exact mechanical footprint and electrical performance of UPW1V221MPH, UPW1V221MPD is the appropriate choice. For new designs or applications where automotive qualification is required, EEU-FC1V221 is suitable if the reduced 3000-hour lifetime is acceptable. EEU-FC1V221L is not recommended due to dimensional incompatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPW1V221MPD be used as a direct replacement for UPW1V221MPH?

A: Yes. UPW1V221MPD is a direct substitute. Both parts have identical capacitance (220 µF), voltage rating (35 V), tolerance (±20%), mechanical dimensions, and lead spacing. The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the Nichicon and Panasonic substitutes?

A: UPW1V221MPD is manufactured by Nichicon and matches all specifications of the original part. EEU-FC1V221 is manufactured by Panasonic and matches electrical and primary mechanical specifications but has a reduced lifetime rating (3000 hours vs. 5000 hours at 105°C). EEU-FC1V221 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. EEU-FC1V221L has different physical dimensions and is not mechanically compatible.

Q: Can EEU-FC1V221L be used as a substitute?

A: No. EEU-FC1V221L has different lead spacing (0.138" vs. 0.197"), diameter (0.315" vs. 0.394"), and height (0.591" vs. 0.492"). These dimensional differences prevent direct PCB mounting without circuit board redesign.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for UPW1V221MPD?

A: This status indicates the part is available but not recommended for new product development. Manufacturers typically apply this classification to parts with limited future availability or planned discontinuation. For new designs, EEU-FC1V221 is the preferred active alternative.

Q: Are the Panasonic parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. EEU-FC1V221 and EEU-FC1V221L both carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are designated for automotive applications. The original UPW1V221MPH and UPW1V221MPD are specified for general-purpose applications.

Q: What is the impact of the reduced lifetime rating in EEU-FC1V221?

A: EEU-FC1V221 has a 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C compared to 5000 hours for UPW1V221MPH. This difference affects long-term reliability in high-temperature environments. Applications requiring extended operational life at elevated temperatures should prioritize UPW1V221MPD or evaluate the specific thermal profile of the end application.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: UPW1V221MPH is RoHS non-compliant. UPW1V221MPD, EEU-FC1V221, and EEU-FC1V221L are all ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, any of the three substitute parts are acceptable.
