Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UVR2G3R3MPD is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Capacitance: 3.3 µF (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: 400 V (exact match required)
• Lifetime: 2000 Hrs @ 85°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.394" Dia (10.00mm) (exact match required)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.551" (14.00mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliant (required for regulatory alignment)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct manufacturer alternatives from Nichicon and parametric equivalents from alternative manufacturers meeting all specified criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Pin-Compatible, Footprint-Compatible):

ESMG401ELL3R3MJC5S (Chemi-Con SMG series) is the parametric equivalent for UVR2G3R3MPD. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and height. The ESMG401ELL3R3MJC5S carries Active product status, ensuring current manufacturing support and long-term availability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for direct substitution in existing PCB designs without layout modifications.

Alternative from Same Manufacturer:

UVK2G3R3MPD (Nichicon UVK series) shares identical electrical parameters with UVR2G3R3MPD but differs in mechanical dimensions. The UVK2G3R3MPD features reduced lead spacing (0.138" vs. 0.197"), smaller diameter (0.315" vs. 0.394"), and lower height (0.492" vs. 0.551"). This part is suitable only for applications where PCB layout can accommodate the smaller footprint. The UVK2G3R3MPD also carries "Not For New Designs" status.

For new designs or long-term production requirements, ESMG401ELL3R3MJC5S is the recommended selection due to Active product status and full parametric compatibility with UVR2G3R3MPD.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVK2G3R3MPD replace UVR2G3R3MPD directly on the PCB?

A: UVK2G3R3MPD is not a direct pin-compatible substitute. While electrical parameters are identical, the mechanical dimensions differ significantly: lead spacing is 0.138" (4.60mm) versus 0.197" (5.00mm), and the can diameter is 0.315" (8.00mm) versus 0.394" (10.00mm). PCB layout modifications are required for this substitution.

Q: Is ESMG401ELL3R3MJC5S a drop-in replacement for UVR2G3R3MPD?

A: Yes. ESMG401ELL3R3MJC5S maintains identical electrical specifications, lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), can diameter (0.394" / 10.00mm), and height (0.551" / 14.00mm). No PCB layout changes are required for this substitution.

Q: Why is UVR2G3R3MPD marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded in the manufacturer's product line. While existing inventory remains available, Nichicon recommends using current-generation alternatives for new development projects.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution requires exact matching of capacitance (3.3 µF), tolerance (±20%), voltage rating (400 V), lifetime (2000 Hrs @ 85°C), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), polarization (Polar), package type (Radial, Can), mounting type (Through Hole), and mechanical dimensions including lead spacing, diameter, and height.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. UVR2G3R3MPD, UVK2G3R3MPD, and ESMG401ELL3R3MJC5S are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
