UVP1C331MPD1AA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The UVP1C331MPD1AA is a 330 µF, 16 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is designed for general-purpose applications requiring stable capacitance performance across a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85°C. The part is currently active and available in bulk packaging with ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or design revisions require components with extended availability or improved lifecycle support.

• Tolerance: ±20%
• Polarization: Bi-Polar
• Package type: Radial, Can
• Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Physical dimensions: 0.394" Dia × 0.689" Height (Max)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Ripple current ratings: 375 mA @ 120 Hz and 562.5 mA @ 10 kHz
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Lifetime specification: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C

The UVP1C331MPD qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute, matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct board-level replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The UVP1C331MPD serves as a direct parametric equivalent to the UVP1C331MPD1AA. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance (ROHS3 and REACH).

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: UVP1C331MPD1AA is designated as Active, while UVP1C331MPD is marked as Not For New Designs. For ongoing production and new design implementations, the UVP1C331MPD1AA is the preferred selection. The UVP1C331MPD remains suitable for legacy system maintenance, repair, and field replacement applications where the substitute part's availability and parametric equivalence satisfy functional requirements.

Both parts are manufactured by Nichicon within the UVP series and carry identical compliance certifications, ensuring regulatory and environmental standards are maintained across either selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVP1C331MPD be used as a direct replacement for UVP1C331MPD1AA?

A: Yes. The UVP1C331MPD is a parametric equivalent with identical capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), physical dimensions, lead spacing, ripple current specifications, and operating temperature range. Direct board-level substitution is supported.

Q: What is the difference between UVP1C331MPD1AA and UVP1C331MPD?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is product lifecycle status: UVP1C331MPD1AA is Active, while UVP1C331MPD is Not For New Designs. For new designs, UVP1C331MPD1AA is recommended.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status, ensuring equivalent regulatory and environmental standards.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching: capacitance (330 µF), voltage rating (16 V), tolerance (±20%), polarization (Bi-Polar), package type (Radial, Can), lead spacing (5.00mm), physical dimensions (10.00mm Dia × 17.50mm Height), mounting type (Through Hole), and ripple current ratings (375 mA @ 120 Hz, 562.5 mA @ 10 kHz).

Q: Can this capacitor be used in surface mount applications?

A: No. The UVP1C331MPD1AA is designed exclusively for through-hole mounting. Surface mount applications require components with surface mount package types and land size specifications.

Q: What is the expected operational lifetime?

A: The rated lifetime is 2000 hours at 85°C. Operating temperature and ripple current conditions directly affect actual service life in field applications.
