Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Specifications)

UFW1C222MHD1TO and UKW1C222MHD1TO are direct Nichicon series replacements with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to UVR1C222MHD1TO. Both maintain 2200 µF capacitance, 16 V rating, and radial can package with 0.197" lead spacing. UFW series is designated for audio applications, while UKW maintains general-purpose classification.

For Extended Temperature Performance

UKA1C222MHD1TO and ECA-1CHG222B extend operating temperature to -55°C ~ 105°C with 2000 hours lifetime at 105°C. Both maintain identical case diameter and lead spacing. UKA is a Nichicon product; ECA-1CHG222B is Panasonic. These are suitable for applications requiring wider temperature operating ranges.

For Extended Lifetime

UPA1C222MHD1TO (Nichicon, Active status) provides 5000 hours lifetime at 105°C with -55°C ~ 105°C operating range. 860160378038 (Würth Elektronik, Active status) provides 7000 hours lifetime at 105°C with -55°C ~ 105°C operating range. EEU-FR1C222B (Panasonic, Active status) provides 10000 hours lifetime at 105°C with -40°C ~ 105°C operating range. All three maintain 2200 µF, 16 V specifications with through-hole radial can packaging.

For Higher Voltage Margin

EEU-HD1E222B is rated at 25 V (versus 16 V), providing increased voltage margin for the same 2200 µF capacitance. This part is suitable for applications where higher voltage headroom is required. Case dimensions and lead spacing remain compatible.

For Active Product Status

UPA1C222MHD1TO, 860010378021, 860020378021, 860160378038, ECA-1CHG222B, EEU-FR1C222B, and EEU-HD1E222B all carry Active product status, indicating continued manufacturer support and availability. These are preferred for new designs or long-term sourcing requirements.

Mechanical Compatibility Note

Würth Elektronik parts (860010378021, 860020378021, 860160378038) have a case diameter of 0.512" (13.00 mm) versus 0.492" (12.50 mm) for Nichicon and Panasonic equivalents. This 0.02" difference must be evaluated against PCB layout constraints and mechanical clearances in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVR1C222MHD1TO be replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes, all listed parts meet the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria: 2200 µF capacitance, 16 V rating (or higher), ±20% tolerance, radial can package, 0.197" lead spacing, through-hole mounting, and ROHS3 compliance. However, case diameter variations (0.492" versus 0.512") and height differences must be verified against PCB layout.

Q: What is the difference between Nichicon UPA1C222MHD1TO and the original UVR1C222MHD1TO?

A: UPA1C222MHD1TO is an Active product with 5000 hours lifetime at 105°C, compared to UVR's 2000 hours at 85°C. UPA extends the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 105°C. Both maintain identical 2200 µF, 16 V specifications and case dimensions (0.492" diameter, 0.866" height).

Q: Why do Würth Elektronik parts have a larger case diameter?

A: Würth Elektronik WCAP series (860010378021, 860020378021, 860160378038) use a 0.512" (13.00 mm) case diameter versus 0.492" (12.50 mm) for Nichicon and Panasonic equivalents. This is a design characteristic of the WCAP series. PCB layout must accommodate this 0.02" difference in diameter.

Q: Is EEU-HD1E222B a direct substitute if my circuit uses 16 V rated capacitors?

A: EEU-HD1E222B is rated at 25 V, not 16 V. While a higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and is electrically compatible in 16 V circuits, the part is not a direct specification match. Use this part only if the higher voltage rating is acceptable for your application.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime?

A: EEU-FR1C222B (Panasonic) provides 10000 hours lifetime at 105°C, the longest among all listed substitutes. This part is Active status and maintains identical case dimensions to the original UVR1C222MHD1TO.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original UVR1C222MHD1TO is also ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Can I use a substitute with a higher voltage rating in place of the 16 V original?

A: Yes. A capacitor with a higher voltage rating (such as EEU-HD1E222B at 25 V) is electrically compatible in a 16 V circuit and provides additional voltage margin. However, verify that the physical dimensions and height do not conflict with PCB layout constraints.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status on UVR1C222MHD1TO?

A: This status indicates that Nichicon has discontinued this series for new product development. Active-status alternatives (UPA1C222MHD1TO, 860010378021, 860020378021, 860160378038, ECA-1CHG222B, EEU-FR1C222B, EEU-HD1E222B) are recommended for new designs to ensure long-term availability and manufacturer support.

Q: Do all substitutes have the same ripple current ratings?

A: No. Ripple current ratings vary across substitutes. For example, EEU-FR1C222B provides 2.6 A @ 100 kHz, while UKA1C222MHD1TO provides 1.058 A @ 10 kHz. Verify ripple current specifications against your circuit's actual operating conditions.
