Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UVR2G2R2MPD is determined by the following critical parameters:

Capacitance: Must be 2.2 µF (exact match required)
Voltage Rating: Must be ≥400 V (equal or higher voltage rating is acceptable)
Tolerance: Must be ±20% or tighter
Polarization: Must be Polar
Package Type: Must be Radial, Can
Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
Lead Spacing: Must be 0.197" (5.00 mm)
Case Diameter: Must be 0.394" (10.00 mm)

All three substitute parts meet these core substitution criteria. The Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components parts MAL214267228E3, MAL215256228E3, and MAL215266228E3 are electrically and mechanically compatible with the original Nichicon component for direct replacement in through-hole PCB applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MAL214267228E3 offers the highest voltage rating at 450 V with extended lifetime of 2500 hours at 105°C and expanded operating temperature range to 105°C. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage margin or elevated temperature operation.

MAL215256228E3 and MAL215266228E3 are functionally identical, both rated at 400 V with 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are preferred for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and extended operational life at elevated temperatures. Both maintain the same voltage rating as the original part while providing superior lifetime characteristics.

All three substitute parts are currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the original "Not For New Designs" component. All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for direct PCB replacement without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAL214267228E3 be used in place of UVR2G2R2MPD?

A: Yes. MAL214267228E3 is electrically and mechanically compatible. The higher 450 V rating provides additional voltage margin. The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) and longer lifetime (2500 Hrs @ 105°C) are beneficial for reliability. Physical dimensions and lead spacing are identical, enabling direct PCB substitution.

Q: What is the difference between MAL215256228E3 and MAL215266228E3?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching 400 V ratings, 3000-hour lifetimes at 105°C, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. They differ only in manufacturer series designation (152 RMH series). Either part is suitable for direct substitution of the other.

Q: Are the substitute parts physically compatible with the original PCB layout?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm), case diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm), and through-hole mounting type. The substitute parts are slightly shorter (0.531" / 14.60 mm vs. 0.551" / 14.00 mm), which presents no compatibility issues for through-hole applications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: MAL215256228E3 or MAL215266228E3 are recommended for automotive use, as both carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are rated for automotive applications. These parts provide 3000-hour lifetime at 105°C, exceeding the original part's 2000-hour rating at 85°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (MAL214267228E3, MAL215256228E3, MAL215266228E3) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original UVR2G2R2MPD.
