Equivalent & Substitute Parts for UVZ2C220MPD

Part Overview

The Nichicon UVZ2C220MPD is a 22 µF, 160 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package with through-hole mounting. This component is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it has reached end-of-life status. The UVZ series offers a 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C with general-purpose applications in power supply filtering and energy storage circuits. Due to its obsolescence status, equivalent and substitute parts with improved specifications or active product status are necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Parametric Equivalent (Same Specifications, Active Status): UVZ2C220MPD1AA is the direct active-status equivalent from Nichicon. It maintains identical electrical specifications (22 µF, 160 V, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C) and mechanical dimensions as the original UVZ2C220MPD. This part is recommended for direct replacement in existing designs where the original component is no longer available.

Upgrade Options (Higher Voltage Rating): UCY2D220MPD (200 V, 12000 Hrs) and UCY2E220MPD (250 V, 12000 Hrs) from Nichicon provide voltage upgrades with significantly extended lifetime. These are suitable for applications where the circuit can accommodate higher voltage ratings and where improved reliability is beneficial. Both maintain identical mechanical dimensions and lead spacing.

Direct Cross-Manufacturer Equivalents (160 V Rating): 160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 (Rubycon), EKXF161ELL220MJC5S (Chemi-Con), and SEK220M160ST (Cornell Dubilier Electronics) are direct electrical equivalents at 160 V. The Rubycon and Chemi-Con parts offer extended lifetime (15000 Hrs) with reduced physical height, providing space optimization benefits. The CDE part maintains 2000-hour lifetime with standard height. All are active products with full RoHS3 compliance.

Voltage Upgrade Options (200 V / 250 V): 200PX22MCC10X16 (Rubycon, 200 V, 2000 Hrs) and 250PX22MEFC10X16 (Rubycon, 250 V, 2000 Hrs) provide voltage upgrades while maintaining the original 2000-hour lifetime. B43858C2226M000 (EPCOS - TDK Electronics, 200 V, 5000 Hrs) offers a 200 V upgrade with extended lifetime. These are suitable for circuits designed to operate at higher voltage margins.

Obsolete Alternative (Not Recommended for New Designs): UPW2C220MPD is classified as Obsolete and should not be selected for new applications despite meeting electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a higher voltage-rated capacitor as a substitute? A: Yes. A capacitor rated for 200 V or 250 V can replace a 160 V capacitor in the same circuit. Higher voltage ratings provide additional safety margin and do not negatively affect circuit operation. The capacitance value (22 µF) and tolerance (±20%) must remain unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between the UVZ2C220MPD and UVZ2C220MPD1AA? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical (22 µF, 160 V, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C, same dimensions). The primary difference is product status: UVZ2C220MPD is "Not For New Designs" (obsolete), while UVZ2C220MPD1AA is "Active." The 1AA variant is the current production equivalent and is recommended for new designs and replacements.

Q: Are there lifetime advantages to selecting upgraded parts? A: Yes. Parts with extended lifetime ratings (5000 Hrs, 12000 Hrs, or 15000 Hrs) provide longer operational life at 105°C compared to the original 2000-hour specification. This is particularly beneficial in high-temperature or mission-critical applications. However, lifetime extension does not affect electrical performance in standard operating conditions.

Q: Do all substitute parts have identical physical dimensions? A: No. While all parts maintain the same lead spacing (5.00 mm) and case diameter (10.00 mm), height varies between 0.551" and 0.787". Verify that the selected substitute fits within your PCB layout constraints. Shorter parts (160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 at 0.571", EKXF161ELL220MJC5S at 0.551") offer space optimization benefits.

Q: Which substitute offers the best overall performance? A: Selection depends on application requirements. For direct replacement with active status, UVZ2C220MPD1AA is optimal. For extended reliability, UCY2D220MPD or UCY2E220MPD (Nichicon, 12000 Hrs) or 160LLE22MEFC10X12.5 (Rubycon, 15000 Hrs) are recommended. For cross-manufacturer diversity, EKXF161ELL220MJC5S (Chemi-Con, 15000 Hrs) provides equivalent performance with reduced height.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and meet REACH requirements where applicable. Compliance certifications are maintained across all recommended alternatives.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers in the same circuit? A: Yes. All listed parts meet identical electrical specifications and mechanical requirements. Mixing manufacturers (Nichicon, Rubycon, Chemi-Con, EPCOS - TDK Electronics, Cornell Dubilier Electronics) is acceptable from an engineering standpoint. Verify procurement and supply chain considerations with your supplier.
