Equivalent & Substitute Parts for UVZ2F100MPH

Part Overview

The Nichicon UVZ2F100MPH is a 10 µF, 315 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor in radial, can package with through-hole mounting. This part is classified as obsolete and no longer recommended for new designs. The UVZ series offers a 2000-hour lifetime rating at 105°C with general-purpose applications. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability for future production, equivalent substitute parts with improved specifications, active product status, and enhanced reliability are necessary for design continuity and long-term supply chain stability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the UVZ2F100MPH is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

Capacitance: 10 µF (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±20% (exact match required)
Lead Spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm) (exact match required)
Case Diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm) (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Package Type: Radial, Can (exact match required)
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (exact match required)
Polarization: Polar (exact match required)

Voltage Rating Substitution Logic: Substitute parts must have a voltage rating equal to or greater than 315 V. Higher voltage ratings provide improved safety margins and are electrically compatible in circuits designed for 315 V operation.

Lifetime & Reliability: Substitute parts may have equal or extended lifetime ratings. Extended lifetimes indicate improved reliability and longer operational endurance.

Compliance & Status: Active product status and RoHS3 compliance are preferred for new designs and long-term supply chain assurance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Nichicon UCS Series): UCS2V100MPD and UCS2G100MPD are direct Nichicon replacements with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Both maintain identical mechanical compatibility while offering extended 8000-hour lifetimes. UCS2G100MPD provides the highest voltage margin at 400 V.

Extended Lifetime Alternative (Chemi-Con EKXF Series): EKXF451ELL100MJ20S delivers the longest operational life at 20000 hours with 450 V rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring maximum reliability and extended service intervals.

Automotive-Qualified Options (Vishay MAL215 Series): MAL215256109E3 and MAL215266109E3 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with 3000-hour lifetimes at 400 V. These parts are appropriate for automotive and harsh-environment applications.

General-Purpose Alternatives: EKMG351ELL100MJ20S and EKMG401ELL100MJ20S (Chemi-Con KMG series) and 106KFM400M (Cornell Dubilier) provide active product status with ROHS3 compliance. All maintain full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the original UVZ2F100MPH in circuits designed for 315 V operation or higher.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher voltage rating than the original 315 V specification? A: Yes. Substitute parts with voltage ratings of 350 V, 400 V, or 450 V are electrically compatible in circuits designed for 315 V operation. Higher voltage ratings provide improved safety margins and do not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between the Nichicon UCS and UVZ series? A: Both series maintain identical mechanical dimensions and lead spacing. The UCS series offers extended 8000-hour lifetimes compared to the UVZ series 2000-hour rating. The UCS series is active and ROHS3 compliant, while the UVZ series is obsolete or not recommended for new designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts physically interchangeable? A: All substitute parts share identical lead spacing (0.197" / 5.00 mm) and case diameter (0.394" / 10.00 mm). Height variations exist: UCS and Chemi-Con KMG/KXF series are 0.846" (21.50 mm), while UVZ, Cornell Dubilier, and Vishay MAL series are 0.866" (22.00 mm). These minor height differences do not affect through-hole mounting compatibility.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term reliability? A: EKXF451ELL100MJ20S (Chemi-Con KXF series) provides the longest operational life at 20000 hours with 450 V rating. For standard applications, UCS2V100MPD and UCS2G100MPD offer 8000-hour lifetimes with active product status.

Q: Are substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. The original UVZ2F100MPH is RoHS non-compliant, making substitution necessary for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I use EKMG351ELL100MJ20S as a direct replacement? A: Yes, EKMG351ELL100MJ20S is mechanically and electrically compatible. However, its 1000-hour lifetime is shorter than the original 2000-hour rating. For applications requiring equivalent or extended lifetime, UCS2V100MPD or higher-rated alternatives are recommended.

Q: What is the difference between MAL215256109E3 and MAL215266109E3? A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications: 10 µF, 400 V, ±20%, 3000-hour lifetime, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are suitable for automotive applications requiring qualified components.
