UFG1C471MPM

The UFG1C471MPM is a high-grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, engineered for audio and AV equipment. It is a polarized radial-lead can designed to deliver audio-focused performance with a rich bass register and clearer high end.

Key electrical characteristics include 470 µF capacitance at 16 V, ±20% tolerance, and a -40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range. The part is RoHS compliant and manufactured to meet endurance requirements for long-term operation in demanding audio applications.

Key Features

• Audio-grade construction — Part of the "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, optimized for richer bass and clearer high-frequency detail in AV and audio systems.
• Capacitance & voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance for predictable energy storage and decoupling.
• Packaging & mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing for through-hole PCB mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Thermal and endurance specs — Operational from -40 °C to +85 °C with a specified lifetime of 1000 hours at 85 °C, supporting reliability in sustained elevated-temperature conditions.
• Ripple handling — Rated ripple currents of 406 mA at 120 Hz and 609 mA at 10 kHz to support filtering and smoothing in audio power rails and signal circuits.
• Clear marking — Printed with black lettering on a gold sleeve for easy identification on populated boards.
• Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• AV and Home Theater Electronics — Use in audio power supply filtering and decoupling where improved bass response and clearer highs are desired.
• High‑grade Audio Equipment — Suited for amplifiers, preamplifiers, and other audio circuits that benefit from the acoustic tuning of the MUSE series.
• General Purpose Electronics — Through-hole radial mounting and robust ripple ratings make this capacitor a practical choice for general-purpose smoothing and energy storage in electronics designs.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-oriented tuning — The MUSE "Fine Gold" series construction targets improved bass and high-frequency clarity, translating component selection into audible system benefits.
• Compact radial can — Small form factor (approximately 2 cm × 1 cm) and 5 mm lead spacing enable dense PCB layouts while retaining through-hole mounting convenience.
• Robust ripple performance — Specified ripple currents at both low (120 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies support stable filtering across audio-relevant spectral content.
• Wide operating range — Rated for -40 °C to +85 °C operation with endurance validated at 1000 hours at 85 °C, providing predictable behavior in temperature-stressed environments.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS conformity supports use in assemblies requiring restricted-substance compliance.
