UFG0J472MHM

The UFG0J472MHM is a high-grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, engineered for high-grade audio and AV equipment. It is a radial-lead, polarized aluminum can capacitor delivering 4.7 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V with performance optimized for audio applications.

Designed with state-of-the-art etching techniques, this capacitor emphasizes richer bass response and clearer high-end reproduction while offering stability across a wide operating temperature range and defined endurance characteristics suitable for professional audio circuits and AV electronics.

Key Features

• Acoustic-grade construction — Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE series; optimized etching and materials for improved bass presence and clearer high-frequency response in AV equipment.
• Electrical specification — 4.7 mF capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low-frequency and high-frequency ripple handling — Rated ripple current: 1.431 A at 120 Hz and 1.646 A at 100 kHz, supporting both power smoothing and decoupling duties in audio power rails.
• Reliability and endurance — Specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85°C; after endurance testing the capacitance change is within ±20% and leakage current remains within initial specified limits.
• Temperature performance — Operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C, compatible with typical consumer and professional audio equipment environments.
• Package and mounting — Radial lead, aluminum can package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm; marked with black lettering on a gold sleeve for easy identification.
• Leakage and dissipation — Series datasheet specifies leakage current after 1 minute at 20°C not more than 0.01CV or 3 μA (whichever is greater) and tan δ (loss tangent) up to 0.22 for 6.3 V at 120 Hz, 20°C.

Typical Applications

• High-fidelity audio amplifiers — Used for power supply smoothing and coupling where richer bass and clearer high end are desirable.
• AV receivers and preamplifiers — Provides decoupling and energy reservoir functions in audio signal and power paths to improve transient response.
• Consumer audio equipment — Suitable for circuits in speakers, DAC/headphone amplifiers, and other AV electronics requiring audio-focused capacitor characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused tuning: The MUSE "Fine Gold" series construction targets audible improvements in bass and treble clarity, helping designers optimize sound character without changing circuit topology.
• Measured ripple capability: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz clarify performance for power supply and high-frequency decoupling tasks.
• Defined endurance data: 1000 hours at 85°C with stated post-test capacitance and leakage limits supports predictable long-term behavior in production designs.
• Compact radial can package: Small footprint (L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm) and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify board layout for discrete audio modules and compact AV assemblies.
• Clear identification: Printed black lettering on a gold sleeve enables straightforward visual verification during assembly and inspection.
