UPA1C472MHD6

The UPA1C472MHD6 is a Nichicon UPA series aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can designed for compact power applications. It delivers 4700 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a low-impedance construction targeted at switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering.

Its combination of high ripple current capability, a wide operating temperature range, and a compact φ18 × 20 mm case makes it suitable for engineers needing reliable bulk energy storage and smoothing in space-constrained power designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and a capacitance tolerance of ±20%.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.22 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for the 16 V rating.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 50 mΩ for improved transient response and lower AC loss in power paths.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.244 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.64 A at 10 kHz, enabling robust handling of switching currents.
• Endurance & Temperature — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with an endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Physical & Mounting — Radial lead package in a φ18 × 20 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); polarized design for through-hole installation.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2256 µA.
• Packaging — Supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly handling.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant as shipped.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and decoupling to support regulated outputs, leveraging the UPA1C472MHD6’s high ripple current capacity and low impedance.
• Power Filtering and Rail Stabilization — Energy storage and transient suppression on board-level power rails where compact size and reliable endurance are required.
• Industrial Power Electronics — Filter capacitors in compact control modules and auxiliary supplies operating across −55°C to +105°C.
• Consumer and Commercial Electronics — General-purpose bulk capacitance for compact devices requiring through-hole mounting and robust ripple handling.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 2.244 A (120 Hz) and 2.64 A (10 kHz) reduce heating and improve reliability in switching environments.
• Low impedance for transient performance: 50 mΩ impedance supports fast charge/discharge cycles and tighter voltage regulation on power rails.
• Compact radial can: φ18 × 20 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides substantial capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained PCBs.
• Wide temperature and long life: −55°C to +105°C operating range and 5000 hours endurance at 105°C deliver predictable performance in thermal-stressed applications.
• Manufacturing-friendly packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing to accommodate different assembly and inventory workflows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in assemblies that require restricted-substance conformance.
