UEP2A470MHD

The UEP2A470MHD is a bi-polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UEP series designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It combines a 47 µF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage in a radial-lead can package optimized for wide temperature operation.

This part is tailored for designs that require non-polarized capacitance across a broad temperature range, offering RoHS compliance and defined endurance characteristics for operation up to 105 °C.

Key Features

• Bi-Polarized Construction  Non-polarized design suitable for AC or bipolar DC applications where polarity inversion may occur.
• Wide Temperature Range  Specified for operation from −55 °C to +105 °C, supporting demanding thermal environments.
• Electrical Ratings  47 µF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Endurance  Rated for 1000 hours at 105 °C with polarity inversion every 250 hours; capacitance and leakage remain within the series’ specified endurance limits after recovery to 20 °C.
• Ripple Handling  Specified ripple current values include 170 mA at 120 Hz and 340 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficients for 10–47 µF parts give a coefficient of 1.00 at 120 Hz and 2.00 at 10 kHz or more.
• Radial Lead Package  Through-hole radial-lead can package with a 5 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 2.0 cm × D: 1.25 cm for compact board-level integration.
• Leakage and Loss Characteristics  Leakage current conforms to 0.03 × C × V (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) maximum for 100 V rating is 0.10 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• RoHS Compliant  Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics  Use where a bi-polar capacitor is required for circuits that operate across a wide temperature range.
• AC/bipolar signal paths  Suitable for applications that require non-polarized capacitance and stable behavior at elevated temperatures.
• Through-hole assemblies  Radial-lead, can-style package intended for easy placement in through-hole PCB designs.

Unique Advantages

• Bi-polar operation without polarity constraints: Eliminates the need for polarity orientation in AC or reversing-DC circuits.
• Wide operating temperature range: Rated from −55 °C to +105 °C to support designs exposed to harsh thermal conditions.
• Defined endurance with polarity inversion: 1000-hour endurance at 105 °C with polarity inversion every 250 hours provides predictable long-term behavior.
• Frequency-aware ripple capability: Published ripple current values and frequency coefficients clarify performance across low and high frequencies.
• Compact, board-friendly package: Radial can with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions for straightforward through-hole integration.
• RoHS compliance: Facilitates regulatory alignment for controlled-substance requirements.
