UVR2E330MHA Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The UVR2E330MHA is a 33 µF, 250 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package manufactured by Nichicon. This component is classified as obsolete and rated for 2000 hours at 85°C. Due to its obsolete status, direct replacement with equivalent or upgraded alternatives is necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. Substitute parts maintain the same electrical specifications (33 µF capacitance, 250 V rated voltage, ±20% tolerance) while offering improved reliability, extended operational lifetime, or enhanced compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Substitutes (Equivalent Electrical & Thermal Performance):
UVR2E330MHD and ESMG251ELL330MK20S provide direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to UVR2E330MHA. Both maintain 33 µF capacitance, 250 V rating, and 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C. UVR2E330MHD is a Nichicon part within the same UVR series and is recommended for applications requiring brand continuity. ESMG251ELL330MK20S is a Chemi-Con alternative with active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, suitable for new designs requiring multi-source qualification.
Upgraded Substitutes (Extended Lifetime & Temperature Range):
UCS2E330MHD, UCY2E330MHD3, B43821K2336M000, and B43851K2336M000 extend operational lifetime to 3000–10000 hours and support maximum operating temperatures of 105°C. These upgrades are appropriate for applications requiring enhanced reliability or operation in elevated thermal environments. UCS2E330MHD and UCY2E330MHD3 are Nichicon products with active status.

It provides upgraded specifications: 33 µF capacitance, 350 V rating (exceeds 250 V requirement), 10000-hour lifetime at 105°C, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This is a high-reliability upgrade suitable for demanding applications.
Q: What are the ripple current differences between substitutes?
A: Ripple current capacity varies by part design and thermal rating. UCS2E330MHD and UCY2E330MHD3 support higher ripple currents (400–800 mA) compared to the original UVR2E330MHA (230–368 mA), reflecting their enhanced thermal performance. Verify ripple current specifications against circuit requirements before selection.
Q: Is ESMG251ELL330MK20S recommended for new designs?
A: Yes. ESMG251ELL330MK20S is a Chemi-Con part with active product status, full RoHS3 compliance, and 2000-hour lifetime at 85°C. It provides direct electrical equivalence and is suitable for new production designs requiring multi-source component qualification.
