UFG1C472MHM

The UFG1C472MHM is a high‑grade, polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, engineered for high‑grade audio and AV equipment. It uses advanced etching techniques and acoustic tuning to deliver richer bass and clearer high‑end performance in audio applications.

Packaged as a radial lead can, this component is optimized for general‑purpose use in audio circuits and assemblies that require a compact 4.7 mF, 16 V electrolytic with defined ripple handling and thermal endurance. It is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Key Features

• Audio‑focused UFG “Fine Gold” MUSE series – Tuned for audio performance with etching techniques intended to produce rich bass and clearer high frequencies for AV equipment.
• Electrical rating – 4.7 mF capacitance at 16 V nominal with capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction – Standard polarized electrolytic design for DC decoupling and energy storage in audio and general‑purpose circuits.
• Low‑loss characteristics – Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) max. 0.16 at 16 V (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C) to help control dissipation in circuit applications.
• Ripple current capability – Rated ripple current 2.14 A at 120 Hz and 2.461 A at 10 kHz, supporting dynamic audio power demands.
• Thermal range and endurance – Operates from −40°C to +85°C with endurance testing of 1000 hours at 85°C; capacitance change within ±20% and tan δ ≤150% of initial specified value after endurance.
• Radial lead can package – Radial lead mounting type with 7.5 mm lead spacing and physical size L: 3.55 × D: 1.8 cm for through‑hole assembly.
• Leakage current specification – After 1 minute at 20°C with rated voltage applied, leakage current is not more than 0.01CV or 3 μA (whichever is greater).
• RoHS compliant – Conforms to applicable RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• High‑grade audio systems – Designed for use in audio playback and AV equipment where tonal character in bass and clarity in the high end are important.
• Power smoothing in audio electronics – Suitable for DC decoupling and bulk capacitance in audio power supply sections where ripple handling is required.
• General purpose electronic assemblies – Radial lead can package fits through‑hole board layouts for a range of electronic and consumer AV designs.

Unique Advantages

• Acoustically tuned series: The Fine Gold MUSE branding and etching approach target perceptible improvements in bass depth and high‑end clarity for AV applications.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz (2.14 A) and 10 kHz (2.461 A) provide measurable support for dynamic audio power demands.
• Broad operating temperature range: −40°C to +85°C operation enables deployment across typical consumer and commercial AV environments.
• Endurance-backed reliability: 1000 hours at 85°C endurance with capacitance retention within ±20% demonstrates predictable aging under elevated temperature stress.
• Compact radial can footprint: 3.55 × 1.8 cm dimensions with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement in through‑hole PCB layouts.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports designs targeting markets requiring restricted‑substance compliance.
