UKL1C470MED

The UKL1C470MED is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UKL series, engineered for low leakage current in a compact radial-lead can. It provides 47 µF capacitance at 16 V with form-factor and electrical characteristics targeted at audio applications and other designs that require controlled leakage and defined ripple performance.

Key value propositions include low leakage current (1.504 µA), defined ripple current capability across low and high frequencies (140 mA at 120 Hz and 280 mA at 10 kHz), a small φ6.3 × 11 mm package with radial leads, and rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 47 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated for 16 V application environments.
• Low Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 1.504 µA supporting applications that require minimal DC loss and stable bias over time.
• Ripple Current Performance — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 140 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 280 mA at 10 kHz, enabling predictable behavior across audio-band and higher-frequency conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, size φ6.3 × 11 mm, lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm), supplied bulk (no terminal forming) or bag-packed for PCB assembly with radial leads.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −40°C to 85°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85°C.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Audio — Designed for audio circuit implementations where low leakage and controlled ripple current (140 mA at 120 Hz; 280 mA at 10 kHz) are required for stable performance.
• Audio — Compact PCB Designs — The φ6.3 × 11 mm radial package and 2.5 mm lead spacing fit space-constrained audio modules and assemblies that use radial-lead capacitors.
• Audio — Endurance in Ambient Conditions — With operation from −40°C to 85°C and 2000 hours endurance at 85°C, it supports products requiring predictable behavior across typical ambient ranges.

Unique Advantages

• Low-leakage construction: Measured leakage current of 1.504 µA reduces DC loss and helps maintain circuit bias stability over time.
• Frequency-aware ripple capability: Separate ripple ratings for 120 Hz and 10 kHz (140 mA and 280 mA, respectively) provide clear guidance for designers across audio and higher-frequency conditions.
• Compact radial form factor: φ6.3 × 11 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing allow integration into compact, through-hole assemblies while retaining robust electrical characteristics.
• Proven endurance profile: Rated for 2000 hours at 85°C with an operating range down to −40°C, enabling reliable performance in a wide set of ambient conditions.
• RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements for use in regulated electronic products.
