UES1V471MHM

The UES1V471MHM from Nichicon is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the MUSE acoustic series, engineered for audio signal circuits and audio equipment. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 35 V rating in a radial‑lead can designed for compact board mounting.

Key value propositions include a purpose‑built bi‑polarized construction for audio signal paths, verified endurance at elevated temperature, and RoHS compliance for modern manufacturing requirements.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage, suitable for a range of audio signal circuit needs.
• Bi‑Polarized Design — Bi‑polar construction intended for audio signal circuits where polarity may invert, eliminating the need for series coupling capacitors in some topologies.
• Tolerance — ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable circuit behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, radial can package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 2.5 cm × D: 1.6 cm for through‑hole PCB mounting.
• Operating Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C, with a specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage with polarity inversion every 250 hours.
• Electrical Performance — Specified leakage current after 1 minute is not more than 0.03 × C × V (µA); tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max for the 35 V rating is 0.14 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Reliability & Endurance — After the 1000 hour endurance test at 85 °C with polarity inversion, capacitance change remains within ±20% of initial value, tan δ ≤ 150% of initial specified value, and leakage current ≤ initial specified value.
• Compliance & Marking — RoHS‑compliant; part marked with black lettering on a clear green sleeve for easy identification.

Typical Applications

• Audio Signal Circuits — Designed for use in audio signal paths where bi‑polarized behavior and stable capacitance support clean signal transmission.
• Audio Equipment — Suitable for components inside amplifiers, preamplifiers, or other audio devices that require reliable electrolytic capacitors with bi‑polar capability.
• Boards Requiring Through‑Hole Radial Caps — Radial lead can and 7.5 mm lead spacing fit standard through‑hole PCBs used in audio product assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Audio‑Focused Design: MUSE acoustic series construction targets audio signal fidelity by providing bi‑polarized operation tailored for audio circuits.
• High Capacitance in a Compact Can: 470 µF in a radial can (L: 2.5 cm × D: 1.6 cm) balances board space with the energy storage needed for audio applications.
• Polarity‑Flexible Operation: Bi‑polar construction allows use where signal polarity may reverse, simplifying circuit layouts that would otherwise require additional coupling components.
• Temperature and Endurance Verified: Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C and tested for 1000 hours at 85 °C with defined post‑test limits to help ensure long‑term stability in typical audio environments.
• Predictable Electrical Characteristics: Specified tan δ, leakage current formula (0.03CV), and impedance stability at low temperatures provide designable electrical behavior.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS directive requirements for use in environmentally regulated product lines.
