Equivalent & Substitute Parts for UVZ2F100MPD

Part Overview

The Nichicon UVZ2F100MPD is a 10 µF, 315 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 rating at 105°C with general-purpose applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Same Voltage, 315 V): UPW2F100MPD is the only same-voltage option, though it is classified as Obsolete. It provides improved lifetime (5000 Hrs vs. 2000 Hrs) and maintains identical electrical specifications. Height is reduced to 0.787", which may provide better fit in space-constrained applications.

For Active Product Status with Improved Specifications: UCS2V100MPD (Nichicon, 350 V, Active) is the recommended primary substitute. It maintains Nichicon series continuity, offers 8000-hour lifetime at 105°C (4× improvement), and operates at 350 V, providing 11% voltage margin above the original 315 V rating. Mechanical dimensions are compatible.

UCS2G100MPD (Nichicon, 400 V, Active) provides maximum voltage margin (27% above original) with identical 8000-hour lifetime and active product status.

For Extended Lifetime Applications: EKXF451ELL100MJ20S (Chemi-Con, 450 V, 20000 Hrs) delivers the highest lifetime rating (10× improvement) with the highest voltage rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring maximum reliability and extended service life.

106KFM400M (Cornell Dubilier, 400 V, 10000 Hrs) offers 10000-hour lifetime with active status and maintains the same height as the original part (0.866").

For Cost-Optimized Substitution: EKMG401ELL100MJ20S (Chemi-Con, 400 V, Active) provides active product status with 400 V rating at lower cost, though lifetime is reduced to 1000 Hrs. This option is suitable only for applications with lower reliability requirements.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, identical capacitance and tolerance specifications, and compatible through-hole radial mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can UVZ2F100MPD be replaced with a higher voltage-rated capacitor? A: Yes. Capacitors rated for higher voltages than the original specification are electrically compatible substitutes. A 350 V or 400 V rated capacitor will function correctly in a circuit designed for 315 V operation. The higher voltage rating provides additional safety margin and does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status? A: This designation indicates the manufacturer no longer recommends the part for new product development. Existing inventory may remain available, but long-term supply is not guaranteed. For new designs or production continuity, selection of an Active-status substitute is strongly advised.

Q: Does lifetime rating affect substitution compatibility? A: Lifetime rating indicates expected operational hours at maximum rated temperature (105°C). A substitute with equal or greater lifetime is compatible. Selecting a part with longer lifetime improves reliability and extends service intervals, but does not affect electrical compatibility.

Q: Are mechanical dimensions critical for substitution? A: Yes. Lead spacing (0.197"), case diameter (0.394"), and height must remain within the original envelope to ensure PCB fit and mechanical clearance. All listed substitutes maintain identical lead spacing and case diameter. Height variations are noted in the parameter comparison table; verify clearance in space-constrained designs.

Q: Can Chemi-Con and Vishay parts replace Nichicon originals? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Cross-manufacturer substitution is valid when specifications match. Verify supplier availability and lead times for your specific application timeline.

Q: What does ±20% tolerance mean for capacitance? A: The actual capacitance value will be within ±20% of the nominal 10 µF rating (8 µF to 12 µF). All listed substitutes maintain this tolerance specification, ensuring circuit performance remains within design parameters.

Q: Is the ripple current specification important for substitution? A: Ripple current capacity indicates the maximum AC current the capacitor can handle without exceeding temperature limits. Substitutes with equal or higher ripple current ratings are compatible. Higher ripple current capability provides additional design margin.
