Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UPW2F220MHD1TO is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 22 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: Must be equal to or greater than 315 V
• Tolerance: Must be ±20% or tighter
• Lead Spacing: Must be 0.197" (5.00mm) for PCB compatibility
• Can Diameter: Must be 0.492" (12.50mm) to maintain mechanical fit
• Mounting Type: Must be through-hole radial configuration
• Polarization: Must be polar (aluminum electrolytic)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -40°C ~ 105°C minimum
• Package / Case: Must be radial, can format

The substitute part UCS2V220MHD1TO meets all these criteria. It is manufactured by Nichicon and maintains identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, can diameter, mounting type, polarization, and operating temperature range. The voltage rating is increased to 350 V, which is acceptable as it exceeds the minimum 315 V requirement. The product status is active, ensuring continued availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UCS2V220MHD1TO is a direct functional equivalent to the UPW2F220MHD1TO. Both components are manufactured by Nichicon and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, can diameter, and operating temperature range. The substitute part provides a higher voltage rating (350 V versus 315 V), which is acceptable for applications designed for the original 315 V specification.

The UCS2V220MHD1TO offers improved reliability with a rated lifetime of 10000 hours at 105°C compared to 7000 hours for the original part. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The UCS2V220MHD1TO has a reduced seated height of 0.846" (21.50mm) compared to 1.063" (27.00mm) for the UPW2F220MHD1TO. This dimensional difference must be verified against PCB layout constraints and mechanical clearance requirements in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCS2V220MHD1TO be used as a direct replacement for the UPW2F220MHD1TO?

A: Yes, the UCS2V220MHD1TO is functionally equivalent. Both parts have identical capacitance (22 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (5.00mm), can diameter (12.50mm), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). The substitute part has a higher voltage rating (350 V) and improved lifetime rating, making it suitable for the same applications.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference?

A: The UCS2V220MHD1TO is rated for 350 V, which exceeds the 315 V requirement of the original part. A higher voltage rating does not negatively affect performance in circuits designed for lower voltages. The component will operate safely and reliably in applications specified for 315 V.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns?

A: The lead spacing and can diameter are identical between both parts, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility. However, the UCS2V220MHD1TO has a reduced seated height (21.50mm versus 27.00mm). Verify that the lower profile does not create clearance issues with adjacent components or enclosure constraints in your specific application.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes, both the UPW2F220MHD1TO and UCS2V220MHD1TO are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The UPW2F220MHD1TO is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The UCS2V220MHD1TO from the active UCS series represents the current equivalent offering from Nichicon for this capacitance and voltage class.

Q: What is the difference in ripple current ratings?

A: The UCS2V220MHD1TO has higher ripple current ratings at both low frequency (325 mA @ 120 Hz versus 120 mA @ 120 Hz) and high frequency (650 mA @ 100 kHz versus 192 mA @ 10 kHz). This indicates improved thermal performance and suitability for higher current ripple applications.
