UHV0J472MHD

The UHV0J472MHD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the UHV series engineered for high ripple handling and low impedance in a compact can. With a 4.7 mF (4700 µF) capacitance at 6.3 V rated voltage and a small φ12.5×25 mm case, it is intended for general-purpose electronic designs requiring robust energy storage in a tight package.

Key value propositions include high ripple current capability across low and high frequencies, low impedance (36 mΩ), wide operating temperature range of −40 °C to 105 °C, and 6000 hours rated life at 105 °C—attributes that support sustained performance in demanding power environments.

Key Features

• High Capacitance: 4700 µF nominal capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage for smoothing and decoupling tasks in power circuits.
• Rated Voltage: 6.3 V rated voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails and systems.
• Low Impedance: 36 mΩ impedance helps reduce voltage ripple and improves dynamic response under load.
• High Ripple Current Capability: 2.712 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.19 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) to handle continuous ripple stress across common frequencies.
• Long Endurance: 6000 hours rated life at 105 °C to support designs that require sustained operation at elevated temperatures.
• Temperature Range: −40 °C to 105 °C operating range for reliable performance across a wide thermal envelope.
• Compact Radial Can Package: φ12.5×25 mm case with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial-lead form factor for through-hole assembly.
• Electrical Characteristics: tan δ (DF) of 0.27 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz and leakage current ~296.1 µA (as specified) for predictable AC and DC behavior.
• Packaging Options & Production Status: Available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) or Bag packing; product is in mass production.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power rails: Bulk energy storage and smoothing on low-voltage DC power rails where high capacitance and low impedance are needed.
• Power supply ripple management: Handling ripple current at both low and high frequencies in switching power supplies and downstream filtering stages.
• Embedded and industrial electronics: Through-hole radial package suited to rugged assemblies and repairable designs requiring extended lifetime at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple endurance: Rated ripple currents of 2.712 A (120 Hz) and 3.19 A (100 kHz) support continuous operation under ripple loading, reducing the need for larger or multiple capacitors.
• Compact energy density: 4700 µF in a φ12.5×25 mm can minimizes PCB area while retaining significant capacitance for bulk storage.
• Low electrical loss: 36 mΩ impedance and specified tan δ provide predictable loss characteristics for thermal and efficiency planning.
• Designed for elevated-temperature life: 6000 hours at 105 °C gives long-term reliability for applications exposed to sustained heat.
• Through-hole reliability and serviceability: Radial-lead construction and standard 5 mm lead spacing simplify assembly and field replacement where needed.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in products targeting restricted-substance regulations.
