UEP1H471MHD

The UEP1H471MHD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UEP series, offering 470 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating. Its construction and specification set target general-purpose electronic applications that require a polarized-independent capacitor with reliable performance across a wide temperature range.

Designed for mass production, this radial-lead, can-type capacitor features a compact φ16 × 30.5 mm case, 7.5 mm lead spacing, and bulk/bag packaging suitable for volume assembly and prototyping environments.

Key Features

• Bi-Polarized Construction Enables operation where polarity may invert; the UEP series is specified and endurance-tested with polarity inversion as part of the qualification procedure.
• Electrical Rating 470 µF nominal capacitance at a 50 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (120 Hz, 20°C).
• Wide Operating Temperature Specified for −55°C to +105°C operation, supporting designs exposed to broad temperature ranges.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) is 0.14 (max.) at the rated voltage; leakage current listed as 705 µA.
• Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 590 mA at 120 Hz and frequency-rated ripple performance up to 885 mA at 10 kHz.
• Endurance and Shelf Life Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 105°C (with polarity inversion during test cycles) and the same storage qualification at 105°C for 1000 hours.
• Package and Mounting Radial-lead, can package with φ16 × 30.5 mm case size, 7.5 mm lead spacing, and supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) / bag packing for flexible assembly workflows.
• RoHS Compliant Manufactured in compliance with RoHS directives.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits Suitable for a wide range of general-purpose designs that require a bi-polarized electrolytic capacitor with 470 µF / 50 V ratings.
• Environments with wide temperature variation Use where operation from −55°C to +105°C is required, leveraging the capacitor’s wide operating temperature range.
• Volume assembly and prototyping Bulk/bag packaging and radial-lead format support straightforward handling and insertion for prototyping or high-volume assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Polarity-flexible design: Bi-polarized construction accommodates circuits where polarity may reverse without requiring polarity-conscious placement.
• Broad thermal range: Operation from −55°C to +105°C reduces design constraints when targeting both low- and high-temperature environments.
• Quantified endurance: 1000 hours at 105°C with specified post-test limits provides verifiable long-term performance data for reliability assessments.
• Clear electrical specifications: Specified tan δ, leakage current, and ripple current values allow straightforward thermal and filtering calculations for power and signal designs.
• Production-ready packaging: Bulk (no terminal forming) / bag packing simplifies procurement for larger build quantities and reduces pre-assembly handling.
