The UPA0J472MHD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s UPA series designed for compact, high-ripple power applications. It is a radial-lead, polarized can capacitor specified for general-purpose use and optimized for switching power supplies.

With a rated capacitance of 4.7 mF and a 6.3 V rating, this component combines low impedance, high ripple-current capability, and extended high-temperature endurance for reliable performance in space-constrained power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 4.7 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V, suitable for low-voltage power rails and bulk decoupling.
• Low Impedance: Specified impedance of 44 mOhm to reduce voltage drop under load and improve transient response.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple current of 1.938 A at 120 Hz and 2.28 A at 10 kHz, supporting high-frequency switching environments.
• Compact Radial Can Package: Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing of 5 mm and overall dimensions L: 2.5 cm × D: 1.25 cm for tight board layouts.
• Wide Temperature Range: Operational range from −55°C to +105°C, enabling use across a broad set of thermal environments.
• Extended High-Temperature Lifetime: Endurance rated at 5000 hours at 105°C, providing long-term stability under elevated operating temperatures.
• Tolerance & Polarity: Capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% and polarized construction for correct orientation in circuits.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies: Bulk filtering and smoothing for output rails in compact switching power supplies where low impedance and high ripple capability are required.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering: Decoupling and energy storage on low-voltage power rails in industrial and electronic equipment.
• Through-Hole Power Modules: Radial-lead mounting makes this part suitable for through-hole assemblies and compact power module designs.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR Performance: 44 mOhm impedance helps minimize losses and improve transient response in power circuits.
• High-Frequency Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents up to 2.28 A at 10 kHz support modern switching topologies and high switching frequencies.
• Compact Footprint: Small can dimensions (2.5 cm × 1.25 cm) and 5 mm lead spacing allow high-density PCB layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• Wide Thermal Range and Longevity: −55°C to +105°C operating range plus 5000 hours at 105°C endurance for reliable long-term operation in elevated temperatures.
• Easy Integration: Standard radial-lead, polarized can simplifies assembly into existing through-hole power designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction to meet environmental requirements.
