Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the UVZ2C470MHD1TO is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Parameters (Must Match):

Capacitance: 47 µF
Tolerance: ±20%
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm)
Package Diameter: 0.492" (12.50 mm)
Mounting Type: Through Hole Radial
Polarization: Polar

Allowable Variations:

Voltage Rating: Equal to or greater than 160 V
Package Height: Within mechanical envelope constraints
Lifetime @ Temperature: Equal to or greater than 2000 Hrs @ 105°C
Operating Temperature Range: Equal to or exceeding -40°C ~ 105°C
Product Status: Active or Not For New Designs

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct equivalents (same voltage rating) and upgraded alternatives (higher voltage ratings or extended lifetime).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Voltage, Same Lifetime): UVZ2D470MHD1TO provides a direct 200 V equivalent within the same UVZ series and lifetime specification. Both parts carry "Not For New Designs" status and are suitable for legacy system maintenance.

For Active Product Status (Recommended for New Designs): UCY2D470MHD3TO and UCS2D470MHD1TO are active products offering 200 V ratings with significantly extended lifetimes (12000 Hrs and 10000 Hrs respectively at 105°C). These parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility and are preferred for new applications requiring long-term reliability.

For Higher Voltage Margin: UCY2E470MHD3TO and UCS2E470MHD1TO provide 250 V ratings with extended lifetimes, offering additional voltage headroom for applications with transient overvoltage conditions.

For Automotive Applications: UBX2C470MHL1TO is rated for -40°C ~ 150°C operating range and carries automotive qualification. This part is suitable for high-temperature environments despite lower lifetime at 105°C.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical lead spacing and package diameter specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVZ2D470MHD1TO replace UVZ2C470MHD1TO directly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, lead spacing, and 2000-hour lifetime at 105°C. The UVZ2D470MHD1TO operates at 200 V versus 160 V, providing higher voltage rating within the same package envelope.

Q: What is the difference between UCY and UCS series substitutes? A: Both series offer active product status and extended lifetimes. UCY2D470MHD3TO provides 12000 Hrs @ 105°C, while UCS2D470MHD1TO provides 10000 Hrs @ 105°C. Both maintain identical capacitance, voltage, and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there height differences between substitute parts? A: Yes. The original UVZ2C470MHD1TO has a maximum seated height of 22.00 mm. Substitute parts UCY and UCS series have maximum heights of 21.50 mm, which is within typical PCB layout tolerances for through-hole radial capacitors.

Q: Why is UBX2C470MHL1TO listed as an upgrade if it has lower lifetime? A: UBX2C470MHL1TO is classified as an upgrade due to its extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 150°C) and active product status. The 1000-hour lifetime specification applies at the elevated 150°C rating, making it suitable for automotive and high-temperature applications where the original part is insufficient.

Q: Can I use a 250 V rated part in place of a 160 V part? A: Yes. Higher voltage ratings are electrically compatible with lower voltage applications. UCY2E470MHD3TO and UCS2E470MHD1TO (250 V) are direct substitutes for the 160 V UVZ2C470MHD1TO, providing additional voltage margin and extended lifetime.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean? A: This designation indicates the part has been superseded by newer alternatives in Nichicon's portfolio. While suitable for legacy system maintenance and repair, active product alternatives are recommended for new circuit designs to ensure long-term availability and support.
