UFW1A471MED

The UFW1A471MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UFW series, specified for audio equipment applications. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for audio-focused designs, this polarized capacitor provides controlled ripple handling and low leakage current, combined with a 2000-hour endurance at 85°C to support reliable performance in temperature-constrained assemblies.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 470 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a 10 V rated voltage to support low-voltage audio circuits.
• Ripple Current Specified — Rated ripple current of 330 mA at 120 Hz and 495 mA at 10 kHz, enabling use where both low- and high-frequency ripple performance matters.
• Low Leakage — Measured leakage current of 141 µA for reduced standby drain and stable bias behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance — Endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C, with performance recovery to specification after restoration to 20°C as defined in the series datasheet.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3 × 11 mm case (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing and radial can construction for through-hole PCB assemblies.
• Operating Temperature Range — Rated for −40°C to +85°C to accommodate a wide set of environmental conditions in audio hardware.

Typical Applications

• Audio equipment — Intended for use in audio devices and circuits where the UFW series is specified for audio performance.
• Low-voltage audio power rails — Applicable where defined ripple-current handling at 120 Hz and 10 kHz is required.
• Radial-lead PCB assemblies — Suited to through-hole boards needing a compact, polarized electrolytic can with 2.5 mm lead spacing.

Unique Advantages

• Specified ripple across frequencies — Separate ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz let designers assess performance for both low- and high-frequency conditions.
• Low leakage current — 141 µA leakage supports stable DC biasing and minimizes unwanted drain in audio circuits.
• Durable thermal endurance — 2000 hours at 85°C provides measurable life expectancy for designs operating near the upper end of the temperature range.
• Compact footprint — φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable space-efficient placement in crowded through-hole layouts.
• Audio-focused series design — Part of Nichicon's UFW series, specified for audio equipment applications and marked accordingly on the sleeve.
