Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPW2C470MHD1TO is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Capacitance value: 47 µF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)

Voltage rating may vary upward to provide enhanced performance characteristics, provided the substitute part maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified operating temperature range. All substitute parts must maintain the same physical footprint and lead configuration to ensure direct board-level compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPW2C470MHD1TO carries a "Not For New Designs" status. For new design implementations, the UCY2V470MHD1TO is the recommended substitute. This part is classified as Active and provides enhanced performance through a higher voltage rating (350 V versus 160 V) and extended lifetime (12000 Hrs @ 105°C versus 7000 Hrs @ 105°C). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical mechanical compatibility.

The UPW2D470MHD1TO serves as an intermediate substitute option, offering a voltage rating increase to 200 V while maintaining the same series characteristics and lifetime rating as the main part. This part also carries "Not For New Designs" status.

All three parts are manufactured by Nichicon and maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, polarization, lead spacing, and through-hole mounting configuration, ensuring direct board-level substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCY2V470MHD1TO be used as a direct replacement for the UPW2C470MHD1TO?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (47 µF), tolerance (±20%), polarization (Polar), lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), package type (Radial, Can), and mounting configuration (Through Hole). The UCY2V470MHD1TO provides higher voltage rating and extended lifetime, making it suitable for direct substitution in existing designs.

Q: What is the difference between the UPW2D470MHD1TO and UCY2V470MHD1TO?

A: Both are valid substitutes for the UPW2C470MHD1TO. The UPW2D470MHD1TO increases voltage rating to 200 V while maintaining 7000-hour lifetime. The UCY2V470MHD1TO increases voltage rating to 350 V and extends lifetime to 12000 hours. The UCY2V470MHD1TO is the only part with Active product status.

Q: Are there any physical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: The UPW2D470MHD1TO and UPW2C470MHD1TO share identical physical dimensions and lead spacing. The UCY2V470MHD1TO has a maximum seated height of 1.043" (26.50 mm) compared to 1.063" (27.00 mm) for the other two parts. This 0.020" (0.50 mm) difference is within typical PCB clearance tolerances and does not affect compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate across the -40°C to 105°C temperature range.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant.
