Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the UVR2C330MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:
Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:
- Capacitance: 33 µF (exact match required)
- Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
- Polarization: Polar (exact match required)
- Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
- Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
- Diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
- Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Voltage Rating Substitution Logic: Parts rated at 160 V or higher are electrically compatible. Parts rated below 160 V are not acceptable substitutes.
Thermal and Lifetime Considerations: Substitute parts may feature improved lifetime ratings at higher temperatures (105°C or higher operating temperature range), providing enhanced reliability compared to the original 2000 Hrs @ 85°C specification. These upgrades are direct improvements and do not compromise circuit compatibility.
Ripple Current: Substitute parts may have different ripple current specifications. Selection should confirm ripple current capability meets or exceeds circuit requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Replacement (Same Voltage, Active Status): UCS2C330MPD (Nichicon) is the primary direct replacement. It maintains the 160 V rating while offering 8000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime, a four-fold improvement over the original specification. This part is in active production status and ROHS3 compliant.
ESMG161ELL330MJ20S (Chemi-Con) provides equivalent electrical specifications with identical 160 V rating and 2000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime. This part is active and ROHS3 compliant, suitable for applications requiring exact thermal performance matching.
Upgraded Voltage Rating (Higher Voltage, Active Status): UCS2D330MPD, UAS2D330MPD, UCY2D330MPD, and UCY2E330MPD (Nichicon) all feature 200 V or 250 V ratings, providing voltage margin above the original 160 V specification. These parts are active production items and ROHS3 compliant. Selection among these depends on required lifetime rating and operating temperature range.
Rubycon PX and PK series parts (200PX33MEFC10X20, 250PX33MEFC10X20, 200PK33MEFC10X20, 250PK33MEFC10X20) offer 200 V or 250 V ratings with active production status and ROHS3 compliance. The PX series provides improved thermal performance at 105°C operating temperature.
Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. UCY2D330MPD and UCY2E330MPD carry REACH Affected status, while all other parts are REACH Unaffected. Selection should account for supply chain compliance requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a 200 V or 250 V rated capacitor in place of the 160 V UVR2C330MPD? A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings are electrically compatible and provide additional voltage margin. The circuit will function correctly as long as all other parameters (capacitance, tolerance, package, lead spacing, diameter) match exactly.
Q: What is the difference between UCS2C330MPD and UCS2D330MPD? A: Both are Nichicon UCS series parts with 8000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime. UCS2C330MPD is rated 160 V, while UCS2D330MPD is rated 200 V. Selection depends on circuit voltage requirements.
Q: Does the height difference between 0.866" and 0.846" affect PCB compatibility? A: The 0.020" (0.50 mm) height difference is within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors. Both heights are acceptable for the same footprint, though the shorter dimension provides additional clearance.
Q: Are Rubycon and Chemi-Con parts direct equivalents to Nichicon? A: Yes, when all electrical and mechanical parameters match. ESMG161ELL330MJ20S (Chemi-Con) and Rubycon PK/PX series parts meet the same specifications as their Nichicon counterparts and are suitable direct replacements.
Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the UVR2C330MPD? A: This designation indicates the part is in end-of-life status. For new circuit designs, select from active production alternatives such as UCS2C330MPD, UAS2D330MPD, or equivalent parts from other manufacturers.
Q: How do I choose between 2000 Hrs @ 85°C and 8000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime ratings? A: The 8000 Hrs @ 105°C rating provides extended operational life at higher temperatures. Select based on circuit operating temperature and required service life. Higher lifetime ratings offer improved reliability margins.
Q: Are all listed parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. Two Nichicon UCY series parts (UCY2D330MPD and UCY2E330MPD) are REACH Affected; all others are REACH Unaffected.
