Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Identical Footprint):

The following parts are recommended as direct one-to-one replacements for the UVR0J472MHD without PCB modification:

478CKS6R3M (Cornell Dubilier / Illinois Capacitor): Active product status. Identical lead spacing (5.00mm), case diameter (12.50mm), and electrical specifications. ROHS3 compliant.
6.3PK4700MEFC12.5X20 (Rubycon): Active product status. Identical lead spacing, case diameter, and electrical specifications. ROHS3 compliant.
ESMG6R3ELL472MK20S (Chemi-Con): Active product status. Identical lead spacing, case diameter, and electrical specifications. ROHS3 compliant.
ESMQ6R3ELL472MK20S (Chemi-Con): Active product status. Identical lead spacing, case diameter, and electrical specifications. ROHS3 compliant.

Similar Alternatives (Different Footprint):

UKL0J472MHD (Nichicon): Active product status. Matches electrical specifications but requires PCB layout verification due to different lead spacing (7.50mm vs. 5.00mm), larger case diameter (16.00mm), and greater height (33.00mm).
URS0J472MHD (Nichicon): Active product status. Matches electrical specifications but requires PCB layout verification due to different lead spacing (7.50mm), larger case diameter (16.00mm), and reduced height (16.50mm).

Upgraded Alternatives (Enhanced Performance):

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a part with different lead spacing on my existing PCB?

A: No. Lead spacing determines hole placement on the PCB. Parts with different lead spacing (such as UKL0J472MHD at 7.50mm vs. the original 5.00mm) require PCB redesign and cannot be used as direct substitutes without layout modification.

Q: What is the difference between direct equivalents and upgraded alternatives?

A: Direct equivalents (478CKS6R3M, 6.3PK4700MEFC12.5X20, ESMG6R3ELL472MK20S, ESMQ6R3ELL472MK20S) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Upgraded alternatives (6.3PX4700MEFC12.5X20, ECA-0JHG472, EEU-FS0J472) offer extended temperature range, longer lifetime, or lower impedance while maintaining the same footprint.

Q: Why is the UVR0J472MHD marked as Not For New Designs?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's product lifecycle. Active alternatives from the same or other manufacturers are recommended for new designs to ensure long-term availability and support.

Q: Can I substitute a 10 V rated capacitor for a 6.3 V rated capacitor?

A: Yes, if the application permits. The 10PX4700MEFC12.5X20 (10 V rating) can replace the UVR0J472MHD (6.3 V rating) in circuits designed for 6.3 V operation, as higher voltage ratings provide additional safety margin. However, this substitution is only valid if the PCB layout and circuit design accommodate the upgraded part.

Q: What does ROHS3 compliance mean?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the part meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term reliability?

A: The EEU-FS0J472 offers the longest operational lifetime (10000 Hrs @ 105°C) compared to the original specification (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), making it suitable for applications requiring extended service life and higher temperature stability.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package configuration?

A: All listed direct equivalents and upgraded alternatives use the same radial, can package with through-hole mounting. Similar alternatives (UKL0J472MHD, URS0J472MHD) use the same package type but with different physical dimensions, requiring PCB verification.
