Equivalent & Substitute Parts for UPW2F100MPD

Part Overview

The UPW2F100MPD is a 10 µF, 315 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new designs. The part operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C, suitable for general-purpose applications requiring polar capacitive filtering.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UPW2F100MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: Must remain 10 µF (no deviation permitted)
• Tolerance: Must be ±20% or tighter
• Polarization: Must be polar
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole radial, can package
• Lead Spacing: Must be 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Size / Dimension: Must be 0.394" Dia (10.00mm)
• Voltage - Rated: Must be equal to or greater than 315 V
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C ~ 105°C minimum
• Package / Case: Must be radial, can

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. UCS2V100MPD (Nichicon, MFR Recommended) — Rated 350 V, active product status
2. EKXG401ELL100MJ20S (Chemi-Con, Upgrade) — Rated 400 V, active product status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products with full regulatory compliance (ROHS3 and REACH). The UCS2V100MPD is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from Nichicon, maintaining the same manufacturer lineage as the obsolete UPW2F100MPD. The EKXG401ELL100MJ20S represents an upgrade option from Chemi-Con with higher voltage rating (400 V versus 315 V) and extended lifetime (8000 hours versus 5000 hours at 105°C).

Selection between these substitutes depends on application voltage requirements and desired operational lifetime. Both parts maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, polarization, mounting configuration, and lead spacing, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UCS2V100MPD directly replace UPW2F100MPD?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (10 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (315 V minimum), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), polarization (polar), and through-hole radial can package with 0.197" lead spacing. The UCS2V100MPD has a maximum seated height of 0.846" compared to 0.787" for the original part; verify PCB clearance if height-constrained.

Q: Can EKXG401ELL100MJ20S replace UPW2F100MPD?

A: Yes. The EKXG401ELL100MJ20S meets all substitution criteria with identical capacitance, tolerance, operating temperature, polarization, and package configuration. The higher voltage rating (400 V) and extended lifetime (8000 hours) provide enhanced performance margins. Maximum seated height matches the original part at 0.787".

Q: What are the key differences between the two substitutes?

A: UCS2V100MPD is from Nichicon (same manufacturer as the original) with 350 V rating and 8000-hour lifetime. EKXG401ELL100MJ20S is from Chemi-Con with 400 V rating and 8000-hour lifetime. Both are active products with full compliance certifications.

Q: Are there any height constraints when substituting?

A: The UCS2V100MPD has a maximum seated height of 0.846" (21.50mm), which is 0.059" taller than the original UPW2F100MPD at 0.787" (20.00mm). The EKXG401ELL100MJ20S matches the original height at 0.787" (20.00mm). Verify available PCB clearance before selection.

Q: Do all parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts (original, UCS2V100MPD, and EKXG401ELL100MJ20S) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
