Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Status Requirement: UBT2C470MHD8 is the direct replacement maintaining 160 V rating with active product status. This part provides identical electrical and mechanical specifications with improved thermal performance (2000 Hrs @ 125°C vs. 85°C) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C).

For Voltage Margin Enhancement: UAQ2D470MHD6, UAS2D470MHD6, and UVR2D470MHD provide 200 V rating while maintaining identical physical dimensions and lead spacing. These parts are suitable for applications requiring increased voltage headroom. UAQ2D470MHD6 and UAS2D470MHD6 offer active product status with improved thermal performance (2000 Hrs @ 105°C).

For Extended Reliability: UCS2D470MHD and UCY2D470MHD3 provide 10000 and 12000 hour lifetimes respectively at 105°C with 200 V rating. These parts are recommended for applications requiring extended operational life and improved reliability margins. Both maintain active product status and identical lead spacing.

For Maximum Voltage and Lifetime: UCS2E470MHD and UCY2E470MHD3 combine 250 V rating with extended lifetimes (10000 and 12000 hours at 105°C). These parts provide the highest performance envelope while maintaining physical compatibility.

RoHS3 Compliance: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UBT2C470MHD8 be used as a direct replacement for UVR2C470MHD? A: Yes. UBT2C470MHD8 maintains identical capacitance (47 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (0.197"), case diameter (0.492"), and height (0.866"). The primary advantage is active product status and extended thermal performance (2000 Hrs @ 125°C vs. 85°C).

Q: What is the difference between 160 V and 200 V rated parts? A: The voltage rating indicates the maximum continuous voltage the capacitor can withstand. 200 V rated parts provide additional voltage margin and are suitable for applications with higher supply voltages or transient overvoltage conditions. All 200 V variants maintain identical physical dimensions and lead spacing for PCB compatibility.

Q: Are there height differences between substitute parts? A: UCS2D470MHD, UCS2E470MHD, UCY2D470MHD3, and UCY2E470MHD3 have a maximum seated height of 0.846" (21.50 mm) compared to 0.866" (22.00 mm) for the original part. This 0.020" reduction is within typical PCB clearance tolerances but should be verified for space-constrained applications.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean? A: This designation indicates the part is obsolete or in end-of-life status. Nichicon recommends using active product alternatives for new designs. Existing designs may continue using these parts if inventory is available, but migration to active alternatives is advised for long-term supply security.

Q: Which substitute offers the longest operational lifetime? A: UCY2D470MHD3 and UCY2E470MHD3 provide 12000 hour lifetimes at 105°C, the highest among all substitutes. These parts are suitable for applications requiring maximum reliability and extended service life.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Can I use a 250 V rated part in place of a 160 V part? A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings are backward compatible in applications designed for lower voltages. UCS2E470MHD and UCY2E470MHD3 (250 V) can replace 160 V applications while providing additional voltage margin. Physical dimensions and lead spacing remain identical.
