Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The UCY2W560MHD qualifies as a direct substitute for the UPZ2W560MHD based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical capacitance: 56 µF
• Identical voltage rating: 450 V
• Identical tolerance: ±20%
• Identical polarization: Polar
• Identical package type: Radial, Can
• Identical mounting type: Through Hole
• Identical lead spacing: 0.295" (7.50mm)
• Identical can diameter: 0.630" (16.00mm)
• Both ROHS3 compliant

The UCY2W560MHD belongs to Nichicon's UCY series, which maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the UPZ series for this specification set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UPZ2W560MHD and UCY2W560MHD are Active status components manufactured by Nichicon and certified ROHS3 compliant. The UCY2W560MHD offers extended operational lifetime (12000 hours at 105°C versus 2000 hours) and wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 105°C). The UCY series also provides higher ripple current capability at both low and high frequencies. Both parts maintain identical mechanical footprints and electrical ratings, ensuring direct board-level compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UCY2W560MHD replace the UPZ2W560MHD in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical capacitance (56 µF), voltage rating (450 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization, package type (Radial, Can), lead spacing (0.295"), and can diameter (0.630"). The maximum seated height differs by 0.020" (0.50mm), which is within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole components.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The UCY2W560MHD provides extended lifetime (12000 hours at 105°C versus 2000 hours), wider operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 105°C), and higher ripple current ratings (585 mA at 120 Hz and 1.17 A at 100 kHz versus 440 mA at 120 Hz).

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the UPZ2W560MHD and UCY2W560MHD are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Do these parts have identical mechanical dimensions?

A: The parts share identical lead spacing (0.295"), can diameter (0.630"), and are both through-hole mounted. The seated height differs by 0.020" (0.50mm), which does not affect standard PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. The UCY2W560MHD is suitable for applications requiring extended operational lifetime or wider temperature range. The UPZ2W560MHD remains appropriate for applications with standard lifetime and temperature requirements.
