• High Ripple Current: Low-frequency ripple current 3.239 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 3.81 A at 10 kHz, enabling robust AC stress performance.
• Low Impedance & Loss: Impedance of 39 mΩ and tangent of loss angle (tan δ) up to 0.21 at 16 V (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting stable performance under load.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 752 µA (measured after the rated voltage application), suitable for general-purpose power circuits.
• Temperature Range & Endurance: Operates from −40°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 10,000 hours at 105°C under specified test conditions.
• Compact Radial Package: φ16 × 25 mm can with radial leads, 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing for straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Series Characteristics: Part of the UHW family, offering reduced impedance at high frequency and designed for high ripple current applications across a range of capacitances and voltages.
• RoHS Compliance: Conforms to RoHS requirements as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering: Provides bulk smoothing and decoupling where 4700 µF at 16 V and high ripple current capability are required.
• Power rail stabilization: Supports voltage stabilization on DC power rails in compact, through-hole assemblies.
• High-ripple circuits: Suitable for circuits subject to significant AC ripple owing to specified ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling capacity: Delivers 3.239 A (120 Hz) and 3.81 A (10 kHz) ripple current ratings to manage AC stress without compromising lifetime.
• Low impedance for frequency performance: 39 mΩ impedance and UHW series design reduce voltage drop and heating at higher frequencies.
• Long endurance at elevated temperature: Rated for 10,000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable lifetime under continuous thermal and electrical load.
• Compact, through-hole form factor: φ16 × 25 mm can and radial leads allow integration into space-constrained boards while retaining robust capacitance.
• Production-ready packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing and listed as mass production status to support volume manufacturing.

Why Choose UHW1C472MHD6?

The UHW1C472MHD6 combines high bulk capacitance (4700 µF), a 16 V rating, and elevated ripple current capability in a compact radial-lead package, making it a practical choice for general-purpose power filtering and rail stabilization tasks. Its low impedance and defined loss characteristics help maintain performance in applications exposed to high-frequency content.

This capacitor is suited for engineers and procurement teams building designs that demand reliable, long-life electrolytic capacitance in through-hole assemblies—especially where space is constrained but high ripple performance and endurance at up to 105°C are required.
