Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPZ2D271MHD is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Capacitance value: 270 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage rating: 200 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.630" Dia (16.00mm) (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The identified substitute part EKXJ201ELL271MLN3S meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. Enhanced performance characteristics such as extended lifetime and increased ripple current capacity do not disqualify a part from substitution when core parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both UPZ2D271MHD and EKXJ201ELL271MLN3S are active production components with ROHS3 compliance. The UPZ2D271MHD is suitable for general-purpose applications with standard thermal and ripple current requirements. The EKXJ201ELL271MLN3S offers extended operational lifetime (12000 hours versus 2000 hours at 105°C), enhanced ripple current handling, and expanded operating temperature range (-40°C lower bound). Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements for thermal cycling, continuous ripple current exposure, and expected service life. Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EKXJ201ELL271MLN3S be used as a direct replacement for UPZ2D271MHD?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (270 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can), mounting configuration (Through Hole), and lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm). Physical dimensions are equivalent within tolerance.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are lifetime rating (2000 hours versus 12000 hours at 105°C), ripple current capacity, and operating temperature range. The EKXJ201ELL271MLN3S provides superior performance in thermal stability and continuous ripple current applications.

Q: Are there any height clearance concerns when substituting?

A: The seated height difference is minimal (1.319" versus 1.299", a 0.020" reduction). This difference is negligible for most PCB layouts and should not present clearance issues in standard applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The EKXJ201ELL271MLN3S carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which is an additional certification not present in the UPZ2D271MHD.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The EKXJ201ELL271MLN3S is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and features extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), making it suitable for automotive environments. The UPZ2D271MHD is specified for general-purpose applications.
