Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPW2F010MPD1TA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 1 µF (exact match required)
• Rated voltage: 315 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.138" (4.60mm) (exact match required)
• Physical diameter: 0.315" (8.00mm) (exact match required)

The UPJ2F010MPD1TD meets all substitution criteria. Variations in height, ripple current ratings, and packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Box) do not affect functional equivalence for circuit-level performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPJ2F010MPD1TD is a direct functional equivalent to the UPW2F010MPD1TA for applications requiring 1 µF, 315 V polar aluminum electrolytic capacitors in through-hole radial configuration. Both components are manufactured by Nichicon, maintain identical electrical specifications for capacitance, voltage rating, tolerance, and thermal lifetime, and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements.

The UPJ2F010MPD1TD exhibits a 0.020" (0.50mm) reduction in seated height and higher ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz. These differences do not affect functional substitution in standard circuit applications. The UPJ series packaging format (Cut Tape) differs from the UPW series (Tape & Box), but this distinction relates only to supply and handling logistics, not component performance.

Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status, indicating they are suitable for replacement and maintenance applications only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPJ2F010MPD1TD be used as a direct replacement for the UPW2F010MPD1TA?

A: Yes. Both components share identical capacitance (1 µF), voltage rating (315 V), tolerance (±20%), thermal lifetime (3000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), polarization (Polar), lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm), and physical diameter (0.315" / 8.00mm). They are functionally equivalent for circuit-level performance.

Q: What is the difference in height between these two parts?

A: The UPW2F010MPD1TA has a maximum seated height of 0.512" (13.00mm), while the UPJ2F010MPD1TD measures 0.492" (12.50mm). This 0.020" (0.50mm) difference does not affect electrical performance and may provide a minor advantage in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Q: Do the ripple current differences affect substitution?

A: No. The UPJ2F010MPD1TD exhibits higher ripple current ratings (19 mA @ 120 Hz and 30.4 mA @ 10 kHz) compared to the UPW2F010MPD1TA (16 mA @ 120 Hz and 25.6 mA @ 10 kHz). Higher ripple current capability does not compromise compatibility and may provide improved performance margin in ripple-intensive applications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Box and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Box (TB) and Cut Tape (CT) refer to supply formats only. Both formats contain identical components with the same electrical and mechanical specifications. The packaging difference affects only component handling, storage, and logistics, not circuit performance or substitution eligibility.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the UPW2F010MPD1TA and UPJ2F010MPD1TD are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used in new designs?

A: Both components carry "Not For New Designs" product status. They are suitable for replacement, maintenance, and legacy system applications only.
