Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UVZ2C101MHD1TO is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Capacitance Value: Must be 100 µF (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating: Must be equal to or greater than 160 V
• Tolerance: Must be ±20% or tighter
• Package Configuration: Must be Radial, Can with identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) and diameter (0.492" / 12.50 mm)
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Polarization: Must be Polar
• Operating Temperature: Must support -40°C ~ 105°C range

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

1. UCY2D101MHD1TO (Direct Manufacturer Substitute): Matches all critical parameters with higher voltage rating (200 V) and improved lifetime specifications.
2. UCS2C101MHD1TO (Upgrade Substitute): Matches all critical parameters at the same voltage rating (160 V) with significantly improved lifetime specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (Same Voltage Rating): The UCS2C101MHD1TO is the preferred substitute when voltage rating equivalence is required. This part maintains the 160 V rating of the original UVZ2C101MHD1TO while providing a 5x improvement in lifetime (10000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs @ 105°C). The UCS2C101MHD1TO is Active in the manufacturer's product line and maintains REACH Unaffected status, matching the compliance profile of the original part.

For Upgraded Performance: The UCY2D101MHD1TO offers a higher voltage rating (200 V) with a 6x improvement in lifetime (12000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs @ 105°C). This part is suitable for applications where increased voltage margin and extended operational life are beneficial. The UCY2D101MHD1TO is Active in the manufacturer's product line. Note that this part carries REACH Affected status, which may require compliance verification depending on application requirements.

Both substitute parts are mechanically compatible with the original UVZ2C101MHD1TO, featuring identical lead spacing and diameter. Height differences are minimal (26.50 mm vs. 27.00 mm) and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UCY2D101MHD1TO be used as a direct replacement for UVZ2C101MHD1TO? A: Yes. The UCY2D101MHD1TO meets all critical substitution parameters: 100 µF capacitance, ±20% tolerance, identical package configuration (Radial, Can), lead spacing (5.00 mm), and diameter (12.50 mm). The higher voltage rating (200 V vs. 160 V) is compatible with circuits designed for 160 V operation.

Q: Can UCS2C101MHD1TO be used as a direct replacement for UVZ2C101MHD1TO? A: Yes. The UCS2C101MHD1TO matches all critical parameters including capacitance (100 µF), voltage rating (160 V), tolerance (±20%), and package configuration. This part is the closest functional equivalent with improved lifetime specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts? A: UCY2D101MHD1TO has a higher voltage rating (200 V) and longer lifetime (12000 Hrs). UCS2C101MHD1TO maintains the original voltage rating (160 V) with a 10000 Hrs lifetime. Both are mechanically and electrically compatible with the original part.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts and the original? A: The UCS2C101MHD1TO maintains REACH Unaffected status matching the original. The UCY2D101MHD1TO carries REACH Affected status. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant. Compliance requirements should be verified based on application and regional regulations.

Q: Will the substitute parts fit in the same PCB footprint? A: Yes. Both substitute parts have identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) and diameter (0.492" / 12.50 mm) as the original UVZ2C101MHD1TO. Height differences are minimal (26.50 mm vs. 27.00 mm) and do not affect standard through-hole PCB layouts.

Q: What is the ripple current capability of the substitute parts? A: The UCY2D101MHD1TO and UCS2C101MHD1TO both provide significantly higher ripple current ratings than the original UVZ2C101MHD1TO. At 120 Hz, both substitutes support approximately 700 mA compared to 215 mA for the original. At high frequencies (100 kHz), both substitutes support approximately 1.4 A compared to 344 mA for the original.
