UBC1C471MNS1MS

The UBC1C471MNS1MS is a surface‑mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UBC series. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at 16 V in a compact φ12.5 × 13.5 mm radial can SMD package and is offered in mass production.

Designed for demanding thermal and mechanical environments, this chip‑type capacitor combines a wide operating temperature span (−55°C to 150°C), vibration resistance and AEC‑Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive and other heavy‑duty electronics requiring stable filtering and energy storage at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, rated for 16 V operation.
• High‑temperature endurance — Rated to operate from −55°C to 150°C with a load life of 1000 hours at 150°C.
• Electrical performance — Low loss tangent (tanδ 0.18 at 20°C, 120 Hz for φ12.5 case), leakage current specified at 225.6 µA, and frequency‑rated ripple handling.
• Ripple current capability — Low‑frequency ripple current 502.5 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 750 mA (10 kHz) to support power‑rail smoothing and decoupling across a range of switching frequencies.
• Reliability & qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualification and vibration resistance for operation in mechanically demanding applications; RoHS compliant.
• Compact SMD package & assembly — Radial, can‑style SMD (φ12.5 × 13.5 mm) supplied in embossed carrier tape for automated placement; recommended PCB land size 1.28 × 1.28 cm.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for automotive modules and control units where sustained performance is required at elevated temperatures and under vibration, benefiting from AEC‑Q200 qualification.
• High‑temperature power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in systems that operate continuously at elevated ambient temperatures up to 150°C.
• Vibration‑prone control systems — Power conditioning in motor controllers, actuators and other mechanically active platforms where vibration resistance is required.
• Industrial power electronics — Energy storage and ripple suppression in compact SMD assemblies for industrial converters and power modules operating in harsh environments.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature life: 1000 hours rated endurance at 150°C provides predictable aging and performance in hot environments.
• Automotive‑grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating supports use in applications subject to automotive reliability requirements.
• Wide temperature window: −55°C to 150°C operation covers a broad set of environmental conditions for both cold‑start and high‑heat scenarios.
• Robust ripple handling: Specified LF and HF ripple currents (502.5 mA @120 Hz, 750 mA @10 kHz) enable effective filtering across switching frequencies.
• Assembly‑friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping and SMD radial can format allow automated placement into compact PCB layouts.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports environmentally regulated designs.
