Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPW2DR47MED is determined by strict equivalence in the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Capacitance: 0.47 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 200 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.098" (2.50mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.248" Dia (6.30mm) (exact match required)

Acceptable variations within substitution:

• Lifetime @ Temperature: May differ from 2000 Hrs @ 105°C
• Height - Seated (Max): May vary within physical envelope constraints
• Ripple Current ratings: May vary within acceptable operating parameters
• Series designation: Different Nichicon series acceptable if all electrical and mechanical parameters match

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both UPS2DR47MED and UVY2DR47MED meet the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria for the UPW2DR47MED. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

UPS2DR47MED is the preferred substitute when lifetime requirements match the original specification. This part maintains 2000 hours at 105°C and identical ripple current ratings. The increased height (0.492" vs 0.433") must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

UVY2DR47MED is acceptable as a substitute when application requirements permit reduced lifetime specification. This part is rated for 1000 hours at 105°C and exhibits slightly lower ripple current performance (11 mA @ 120 Hz, 17.6 mA @ 10 kHz). Height and lead spacing remain compatible with the original design envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPS2DR47MED directly replace UPW2DR47MED?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (0.47 µF, 200 V, ±20%, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical parameters (lead spacing, diameter). The height difference (0.492" vs 0.433") requires PCB layout verification to ensure clearance.

Q: What is the key difference between UPS2DR47MED and UVY2DR47MED?

A: The primary difference is lifetime rating. UPS2DR47MED is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, while UVY2DR47MED is rated for 1000 hours at 105°C. Ripple current specifications also differ slightly. Both maintain identical capacitance, voltage, tolerance, and physical dimensions.

Q: Are all three parts physically interchangeable?

A: Lead spacing (0.098" / 2.50mm) and diameter (0.248" / 6.30mm) are identical across all three parts, confirming PCB footprint compatibility. Height variations (0.433" to 0.492") must be evaluated against available vertical clearance in the assembly.

Q: Do compliance certifications differ between these parts?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, maintaining identical regulatory status.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-reliability applications?

A: UPS2DR47MED is the appropriate selection, as it maintains the original 2000-hour lifetime specification at 105°C and identical ripple current performance.
