Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the UVR2F2R2MPA are selected based on the following criteria:

Core Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Capacitance: 2.2 µF
• Tolerance: ±20%
• Polarization: Polar
• Applications: General Purpose

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters (Must Match):

• Lead Spacing: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Size / Dimension: 0.315" Dia (8.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Package / Case: Radial, Can

Allowable Upgrade Parameters (Can Exceed Original):

• Voltage - Rated: 315 V or higher
• Lifetime @ Temperature: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C or longer
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C or wider
• RoHS Status: Compliant versions preferred for new designs

All identified substitutes maintain identical capacitance, tolerance, lead spacing, and mounting configuration while offering equal or superior voltage ratings and operational lifetimes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Minimum Upgrade): UVR2V2R2MPD (Nichicon) provides the closest functional match with identical lifetime rating and operating temperature range. It offers 350 V rated voltage, exceeding the original 315 V specification, and achieves ROHS3 compliance. Height remains at 0.512" (13.00mm), matching the original footprint exactly.

For Enhanced Reliability (Extended Lifetime): 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 or 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5 (Rubycon) both deliver 15000 Hrs @ 105°C lifetime rating, a 7.5x improvement over the original 2000 Hrs @ 85°C specification. Both maintain 0.512" (13.00mm) height and 400 V rated voltage. These parts are classified as Active products with ROHS3 compliance.

For Maximum Operating Temperature Range: 400LEX2.2MEFC8X11.5 (Rubycon) extends the operating temperature range to -40°C ~ 125°C and provides 5000 Hrs @ 125°C lifetime. Height increases to 0.531" (14.60mm), requiring PCB layout verification. This part is Active with ROHS3 compliance.

For Equivalent Lifetime at Original Temperature: ESMG401ELL2R2MHB5D or ESMQ401ELL2R2MHB5D (Chemi-Con) maintain 2000 Hrs @ 85°C lifetime matching the original specification while offering 400 V rated voltage and ROHS3 compliance. Both maintain 0.512" (13.00mm) height and Active product status.

All substitute parts maintain identical capacitance (2.2 µF), tolerance (±20%), lead spacing (0.138" / 4.60mm), and through-hole radial can package configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVR2F2R2MPA be replaced with a higher voltage-rated capacitor? A: Yes. All identified substitutes operate at 350 V or 400 V rated voltage, exceeding the original 315 V specification. Higher voltage ratings provide additional safety margin and are electrically compatible in circuits designed for 315 V operation.

Q: What is the difference between 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5 and 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5? A: Both parts are Rubycon LLE series capacitors with identical electrical specifications: 2.2 µF, 400 V, 15000 Hrs @ 105°C, and -40°C ~ 105°C operating range. Both maintain 0.512" (13.00mm) height and ROHS3 compliance. They are functionally equivalent for substitution purposes.

Q: Does the height difference between 0.512" and 0.531" affect PCB compatibility? A: Height differences of 0.019" (0.50mm) may require PCB layout verification, particularly in space-constrained applications. ULD2G2R2MPD and 400LEX2.2MEFC8X11.5 have 0.531" (14.60mm) height. Parts maintaining 0.512" (13.00mm) height (UVR2V2R2MPD, 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5, 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5, ESMG401ELL2R2MHB5D, ESMQ401ELL2R2MHB5D) provide direct mechanical fit.

Q: Why is the original UVR2F2R2MPA classified as obsolete? A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured by Nichicon. Substitute parts from active product lines ensure long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All identified substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The original UVR2F2R2MPA is RoHS non-compliant, making compliant substitutes necessary for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the ripple current specification for substitute parts? A: Ripple current ratings vary by part. At 120 Hz low frequency, ratings range from 33 mA (original) to 40 mA (most substitutes). At high frequency (10 kHz to 100 kHz), ratings range from 60.8 mA to 95 mA depending on the specific part and frequency. Verify ripple current specifications against circuit requirements.

Q: Can UVR2F2R2MPA be used in new designs? A: No. The original part is obsolete. For new designs, select from Active status parts: 400LEX2.2MEFC8X11.5, 400LLE2.2MEFC8X11.5, 400LLE2R2MEFC8X11.5, ESMG401ELL2R2MHB5D, or ESMQ401ELL2R2MHB5D.
