Overview of UES1C471MHM – 470 µF, 16 V Bi‑Polar Audio Electrolytic Capacitor
The UES1C471MHM is an aluminum electrolytic, bi‑polar capacitor from Nichicon’s UES "MUSE" acoustic series, designed and specified for audio signal circuits. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a radial‑lead can package optimized for audio‑focused designs.
This part combines a bi‑polar construction with audio‑grade series characteristics, defined electrical loss and leakage specifications, RoHS compliance, and mechanical dimensions that support compact board-level implementation.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 470 µF rated at 16 V, suitable where this capacitance and voltage level are required.
- Bi‑Polar Audio Design: Part of the "nichicon MUSE" acoustic series; explicitly stated as bi‑polarized and suited for audio signal circuits.
- Electrical performance: Capacitance tolerance ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C). Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max. 0.16 at 16 V (120 Hz, 20°C). Leakage current per the datasheet for this part is 225.6 µA (after 1 minute at 20°C).
- Mechanical & Mounting: Radial lead, can package with 5 mm lead spacing and part dimensions 12.5 × 25 mm (D × L / shown as L: 2.5 cm × D: 1.25 cm).
- Operating Range & Endurance: Rated for –40°C to +85°C. Endurance specified as 1000 hours at 85°C with the polarity inverted every 250 hours.
- Environmental Compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Identification: Marked with black lettering on a clear green sleeve per the series marking convention.
Typical Applications
- Audio signal circuits: Designed and specified for use in audio signal paths where a bi‑polar electrolytic capacitor is required.
- Audio equipment modules: Intended for implementation in audio equipment assemblies that specify the UES "MUSE" acoustic series.
- Circuit designs requiring defined endurance: Applications that need components rated for 1000 hours at 85°C with documented post‑test performance.
Unique Advantages
- Audio‑focused series: Part of the Nichicon "MUSE" acoustic line and explicitly described as suited for audio signal circuits, aligning component selection with audio design intent.
- Bi‑polar construction: Provides the intended polarization characteristics for AC‑centric audio signal applications as specified by the datasheet.
- Measured electrical parameters: Specified tan δ (0.16 at 16 V) and documented leakage current (225.6 µA) provide verifiable performance metrics for design validation.
- Compact radial can: 12.5 × 25 mm package delivers 470 µF in a radial‑lead form factor suitable for board‑level mounting in audio equipment.
- Defined reliability window: Endurance rating of 1000 hours at 85°C with polarity inversion gives designers a clear durability specification to plan around.
- RoHS compliant: Meets the stated environmental directive requirements for restricted substances.
