UEP1C471MPD

The UEP1C471MPD is a Nichicon UEP series bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose electronic applications that require a non‑polar (bi‑polar) electrolytic solution and reliable operation across a wide temperature range. With a rated capacitance of 470 µF at 16 V and an operating range from −55°C to +105°C, it addresses circuits where polarity reversal and wide temperature performance are required.

This radial lead, can‑style capacitor combines compact dimensions (φ10 × 20 mm) and 5 mm lead spacing with endurance tested to 1,000 hours at 105°C, making it a practical choice for assemblies needing compact, stable capacitance under thermal and electrical stress.

Key Features

• Bi‑Polar Construction Designed as a bi‑polarized capacitor to support applications where polarity may invert; the series endurance test includes polarity inversion every 250 hours.
• Wide Temperature Range Specified for operation from −55°C to +105°C, enabling use in environments with extreme low and high temperatures.
• Electrical Performance Rated capacitance 470 µF with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C); leakage current specified at 225.6 µA and tan δ max of 0.20 at 16 V (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current 345 mA at 120 Hz (frequency coefficient table supports higher ripple at higher frequencies; equivalent 10 kHz ripple rating shown as 517.5 mA for this part).
• Reliability and Lifetime Endurance characterized to 1,000 hours at 105°C (with periodic polarity inversion); capacitance change after endurance remains within ±25% for 6.3–16 V ratings and leakage current remains within initial limits.
• Compact Radial Package φ10 × 20 mm aluminum can with 5 mm lead spacing and radial lead mounting simplifies PCB layout for through‑hole assemblies; supplied in bulk bag packing for production use.
• RoHS Compliant Meets RoHS directive requirements as indicated in the product series documentation.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Electronics — Decoupling and filtering where a stable 470 µF, 16 V bi‑polar capacitor is required across a broad temperature range.
• Bipolar/AC‑Coupled Circuits — Suitable for circuits where polarity may reverse, benefiting from the series’ bi‑polar construction and endurance testing with inverted polarity.
• Temperature‑Challenged Systems — Use in equipment exposed to low or high ambient temperatures, leveraging the −55°C to +105°C operating range.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar capability: Enables use in applications with polarity reversal without relying on single‑polarity electrolytics.
• Wide operating temperature: −55°C to +105°C rating supports designs that must withstand extreme ambient conditions.
• Documented endurance: 1,000 hours at 105°C with polarity inversion demonstrates predictable performance over extended thermal stress.
• High ripple handling: 345 mA at 120 Hz and an equivalent 517.5 mA at 10 kHz support power‑related decoupling and filtering duties.
• Compact, PCB‑friendly form factor: φ10 × 20 mm radial can with 5 mm lead spacing offers a small footprint for through‑hole layouts.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance aligns with modern environmental requirements for electronics production.
