UPW2F100MPH Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPW2F100MPH 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 design support and procurement. 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 UPW2F100MPH is determined by the following critical parameters: capacitance value (10 µF), rated voltage (minimum 315 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (polar), mounting type (through hole), and physical dimensions (lead spacing 5.00mm, diameter 10.00mm, height 20.00mm maximum).

Two substitution categories are identified:

Direct Equivalent: UPW2F100MPD maintains identical electrical specifications and physical form factor, differing only in packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Upgrade Substitute: EKXG401ELL100MJ20S provides enhanced performance characteristics including higher rated voltage (400 V), extended lifetime (8000 Hrs @ 105°C), and improved ripple current handling, while maintaining identical capacitance, tolerance, polarization, and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

UPW2F100MPD serves as the direct equivalent for applications requiring identical electrical performance and form factor. This part maintains the same 315 V rating and 5000-hour lifetime specification. Selection of UPW2F100MPD is appropriate when existing designs require no performance enhancement and ROHS3 compliance is acceptable.

EKXG401ELL100MJ20S is the upgrade substitute, offering enhanced reliability through increased voltage rating (400 V) and extended operational lifetime (8000 Hrs @ 105°C). This Chemi-Con KXG series component maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility while providing superior performance margins. The active product status ensures long-term availability. Selection of EKXG401ELL100MJ20S is appropriate for new designs, redesigns prioritizing reliability, or applications benefiting from higher voltage headroom and extended service life.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing environmental and regulatory requirements not met by the obsolete UPW2F100MPH.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UPW2F100MPD be used as a direct replacement for UPW2F100MPH?

A: Yes. UPW2F100MPD is electrically and mechanically identical, with matching capacitance (10 µF), voltage rating (315 V), tolerance (±20%), temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and physical dimensions. The primary differences are packaging format and improved RoHS3 compliance status.

Q: What are the advantages of EKXG401ELL100MJ20S over the original UPW2F100MPH?

A: EKXG401ELL100MJ20S provides three key advantages: higher rated voltage (400 V vs. 315 V), extended lifetime (8000 Hrs @ 105°C vs. 5000 Hrs @ 105°C), and active product status ensuring continued availability. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain compatible.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical lead spacing (5.00mm), diameter (10.00mm), and maximum seated height (20.00mm), ensuring direct PCB compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new product designs?

A: EKXG401ELL100MJ20S is recommended for new designs due to its active product status, enhanced performance specifications, and ROHS3 compliance. This ensures long-term component availability and superior reliability margins.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the substitutes?

A: Capacitance, tolerance, and polarization are identical across all parts. EKXG401ELL100MJ20S provides higher ripple current handling capability (350 mA @ 100 kHz vs. 115.2 mA @ 10 kHz) due to its enhanced design, though this does not affect basic substitution compatibility for standard applications.
