UEP0J471MPD

The UEP0J471MPD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UEP series. It is a radial-lead, can-type capacitor rated at 6.3 V with 470 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance, designed for general-purpose electronic applications.

Key value propositions include bi-polar operation, a wide operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C, compact φ10 × 12.5 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing, and defined ripple current capability for both low and high frequency environments.

Key Features

• Bi-Polarized Design Supports polarity inversion and AC-coupling applications by design; endurance testing includes polarity inversion every 250 hours during the 1000 h life test at 105 °C.
• Wide Temperature Range Rated for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C to cover demanding thermal environments.
• Electrical Ratings 470 µF capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance and a specified dissipation factor (tan δ) max of 0.24 at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Leakage Current Specification Product data lists leakage current of 88.83 µA; the series datasheet also specifies leakage current not more than 0.03 CV (µA) after 5 minutes' application of rated voltage at 20 °C.
• Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 260 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 390 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency). Frequency coefficients for 100–470 µF: 50 Hz = 0.80, 120 Hz = 1.00, 300 Hz = 1.23, 1 kHz = 1.34, 10 kHz or more = 1.50.
• Endurance & Lifetime 1000 hours lifetime at 105 °C with specified limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current after the endurance test.
• Compact, Through-Hole Package φ10 × 12.5 mm can, radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing; supplied Bulk/No Terminal Forming for mass production.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant per the product information.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics Suitable where a compact, bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor is required for signal or power circuits within −55 °C to +105 °C.
• AC-Coupling and Bipolar Signal Paths Bi-polar construction supports applications that require polarity reversal or symmetrical signal coupling.
• Power Filtering and Decoupling Defined ripple current ratings at both low and high frequencies make it applicable for filtering and smoothing in general-purpose power circuits.

Unique Advantages

• Bi-polar operation Enables use in AC or polarity-reversing circuits without the constraints of polarized-only capacitors.
• Wide temperature tolerance Operation from −55 °C to +105 °C expands usable environments compared with narrower-range components.
• Compact radial can φ10 × 12.5 mm size with 5 mm lead spacing fits tight layouts while remaining a through-hole, serviceable solution.
• Well-characterized ripple performance Separate ripple current ratings for 120 Hz and 10 kHz and frequency coefficients for 100–470 µF capacitors help designers size thermal and ripple margins accurately.
• 1000 h endurance at 105 °C Defined lifetime and endurance test results provide predictable aging and performance parameters for design planning.
• RoHS compliant Meets RoHS directive requirements as stated in the product information.
