UPZ2D331MHD6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UPZ2D331MHD6 is a 330 µF, 200 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring through-hole mounting. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, application-specific performance needs, or design optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UPZ2D331MHD6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance: 330 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 200 V (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Package / Case: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.709" Dia (18.00mm) (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

The UCY2D331MHD6 meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and package specifications. Differences in lifetime rating and ripple current capacity do not disqualify substitution when the primary electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UPZ2D331MHD6 and UCY2D331MHD6 are active production parts with ROHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements:

The UPZ2D331MHD6 is suitable for applications with standard lifetime requirements and moderate ripple current demands. The UCY2D331MHD6 offers extended lifetime (12000 hours versus 2000 hours at 105°C) and higher ripple current capacity, making it appropriate for applications requiring enhanced reliability or higher thermal stress conditions. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCY2D331MHD6 be used as a direct replacement for the UPZ2D331MHD6?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (200 V), tolerance (±20%), package type (Radial, Can), mounting method (Through Hole), lead spacing (0.295" / 7.50mm), and physical dimensions (0.709" Dia / 18.00mm). The UCY series offers extended lifetime and higher ripple current ratings, which do not prevent substitution.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The seated height differs slightly: UPZ2D331MHD6 is 1.319" (34.60mm) maximum, while UCY2D331MHD6 is 1.299" (33.00mm) maximum. This 0.020" (0.50mm) difference is within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole components.

Q: Are both parts compliant with environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both the UPZ2D331MHD6 and UCY2D331MHD6 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, meeting current environmental standards for electronic components.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The UPZ2D331MHD6 operates from -25°C to 105°C. The UCY2D331MHD6 operates from -40°C to 105°C, providing a wider low-temperature operating range.

Q: How do the ripple current ratings compare?

A: The UCY2D331MHD6 has higher ripple current capacity at both low and high frequencies. At 120 Hz, UCY provides 1.56 A versus UPZ's 1.01 A. At high frequency (10 kHz for UPZ, 100 kHz for UCY), UCY provides 3.12 A versus UPZ's 1.414 A.
