UHV0J471MED

The UHV0J471MED is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UHV series. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 11 mm can designed for general-purpose power applications. The part combines low impedance at higher frequencies with elevated ripple-current capability and a wide operating temperature range to support compact, low-voltage power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 470 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance (at 120 Hz, 20°C), suitable for bulk smoothing and decoupling in low-voltage circuits.
• Rated Voltage — 6.3 V DC rating for low-voltage power rails.
• High ripple-current capability — Supports 275 mA at 120 Hz and 550 mA at 100 kHz, enabling better thermal performance under AC ripple stress.
• Low leakage — Measured leakage current of 29.61 µA (product specification), supporting low standby currents in sensitive circuits.
• Temperature and endurance — Operates from −40°C to +105°C with a rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable lifetime performance for industrial-grade environments.
• Low-impedance UHV series characteristics — Part of Nichicon’s UHV family, designed for lower impedance at high frequency and optimized for high ripple current in a small case.
• Compact radial package — φ6.3 × 11 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial leads for through-hole mounting in space-constrained assemblies.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage rails where 6.3 V rating and 470 µF capacitance stabilize transient responses.
• High-frequency ripple handling — Use in circuits that experience high-frequency ripple currents, taking advantage of the series’ low-impedance behavior and the specified 100 kHz ripple rating.
• Compact through-hole designs — Through-hole radial mounting for compact boards and assemblies that require a small can size with reliable lead connections.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents of 275 mA (120 Hz) and 550 mA (100 kHz) reduce heating and improve stability in ripple-heavy circuits.
• Small footprint: φ6.3 × 11 mm can provides bulk capacitance in a compact package to conserve board area.
• Wide operating temperature: −40°C to +105°C rating enables use across a broad range of environments without derating beyond specified limits.
• Predictable lifetime: 5000 hours at 105°C gives a clear endurance expectation for thermal-stressed applications.
• Low leakage: 29.61 µA leakage current supports designs where low standby current is important.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to RoHS, simplifying regulatory considerations for global assemblies.
