Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPW2F2R2MPD1TD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance value: 2.2 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 315 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Physical diameter: 0.394" (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

The UPM2F2R2MPD1TD meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UPM2F2R2MPD1TD is a direct equivalent substitute for the UPW2F2R2MPD1TD. Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon and share identical electrical specifications: 2.2 µF capacitance, 315 V voltage rating, ±20% tolerance, and 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and mounted through-hole in radial can configuration.

The UPM2F2R2MPD1TD carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is rated for automotive applications, whereas the UPW2F2R2MPD1TD is designated for general-purpose use. The UPM series exhibits a slightly higher ripple current capability at 120 Hz (32 mA versus 28 mA) and a marginally increased seated height (0.571" versus 0.551"). These dimensional and performance variations remain within acceptable substitution parameters for through-hole PCB applications.

Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status, indicating they are legacy components suitable for replacement and repair scenarios only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UPM2F2R2MPD1TD replace the UPW2F2R2MPD1TD in existing designs?

A: Yes. The UPM2F2R2MPD1TD meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical capacitance (2.2 µF), voltage rating (315 V), tolerance (±20%), temperature rating (5000 Hrs @ 105°C), lead spacing (5.00mm), and physical diameter (10.00mm). The 0.02" (0.50mm) difference in seated height does not affect PCB compatibility for through-hole mounting.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the UPM2F2R2MPD1TD?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. The UPM2F2R2MPD1TD meets this specification, whereas the UPW2F2R2MPD1TD does not carry this rating. For applications requiring automotive-grade components, the UPM2F2R2MPD1TD is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there differences in ripple current handling between these parts?

A: The UPM2F2R2MPD1TD supports 32 mA ripple current at 120 Hz, compared to 28 mA for the UPW2F2R2MPD1TD. This represents a 14% increase in low-frequency ripple current capacity. For applications operating near the UPW specification limit, the UPM variant provides additional margin.

Q: Do both parts require the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both components use identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm) and physical diameter (0.394" / 10.00mm). The seated height difference (0.02" / 0.50mm) does not affect footprint compatibility for standard through-hole PCB designs.

Q: Why are both parts marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates both the UPW and UPM series are legacy products. They remain available for replacement and repair of existing systems but should not be specified for new product development. Consult Nichicon for current-generation alternatives for new designs.
