UFG1E471MHM

The UFG1E471MHM is a high-grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, developed for high-grade audio and AV equipment. It is a polarized, radial-lead can style capacitor engineered to deliver audible improvements—emphasizing richer bass and clearer high end—through acoustically tuned construction and etching techniques.

Designed for general-purpose use in audio systems, the UFG1E471MHM combines a 470 µF capacitance with a 25 V rating, RoHS compliance, and performance characteristics suitable for power smoothing and decoupling in AV applications.

Key Features

• Audio-optimized "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series
 Acoustically tuned construction and advanced etching techniques deliver richer bass register and clearer high-end response for AV and audio equipment.
• Electrical rating
 470 µF capacitance at 25 V nominal with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Low loss at audio frequencies
 Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.14 (max.) for 25 V measured at 120 Hz, aiding efficient energy transfer in audio circuits.
• Ripple handling
 Rated ripple current of 476 mA at 120 Hz and 714 mA at 10 kHz to support filtering and smoothing in power rails within AV systems.
• Package and mounting
 Radial lead, can package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact footprint (approx. L: 2.0 × D: 1.25 cm) for through-hole board assemblies.
• Temperature and lifetime
 Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C under rated voltage, supporting long-term reliability in typical AV environments.
• Leakage and stability
 Leakage current limited per datasheet (after 1 minute at rated voltage ≤ 0.01CV or 3 µA, whichever is greater); stability at low temperature characterized by impedance ratios defined in the datasheet.
• RoHS compliant & marking
 Compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) and identified by black print on a gold sleeve as part of the product series.

Typical Applications

• High-grade audio systems
 Tailored for AV and audiophile equipment where tonal balance—enhanced bass weight and clearer highs—is important.
• AV receivers and amplifiers
 Used in power supply filtering and decoupling to support stable power delivery and reduce audible noise in amplification stages.
• Professional audio gear
 Suitable for mixers, preamps and other studio equipment requiring reliable electrolytic capacitance with audio-focused characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• Audio-focused acoustic tuning: The "Fine Gold" MUSE series construction aims to influence sound character—supporting richer bass and clearer highs in AV systems.
• Compact radial can package: Small footprint with 5 mm lead spacing and radial lead form factor for straightforward through-hole assembly in compact boards.
• Measured low-loss performance: Specified tan δ of 0.14 (max.) at 25 V, 120 Hz, helping maintain signal integrity in audio frequency domains.
• Robust ripple capability: Ripple current ratings of 476 mA (120 Hz) and 714 mA (10 kHz) support effective smoothing across a range of audio-relevant frequencies.
• Durability under heat: Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with 1000 hours endurance at 85 °C, enabling reliable service life in consumer and professional AV environments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant, meeting current restriction directives for lead and other hazardous substances.

Why Choose UFG1E471MHM?

UFG1E471MHM positions itself as an acoustic-oriented electrolytic capacitor for designers of high-grade audio and AV equipment who require a combination of tuned sonic character, compact radial packaging, and verifiable electrical performance.
