UPJ0J471MPD

The UPJ0J471MPD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for low-impedance, high-reliability power applications. It delivers 470 µF at 6.3 V with a polarized design and compact radial package, making it suitable for switching power supplies and general-purpose power filtering.

Built to withstand elevated operating conditions, this Nichicon UPJ-series part offers specified ripple-handling and a rated lifetime at elevated temperature, providing designers with a compact option for stable DC bus and decoupling tasks.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and a tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low-Impedance Design — Part of Nichicon's UPJ series specified for low impedance, intended to support the demands of switching power supplies.
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current of 269.7 mA at 120 Hz and 435 mA at 200 kHz for effective filtering across common frequencies.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Rated operating temperature from −55°C to +105°C with an expected lifetime of 3000 hours at +105°C for this case size.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can package with radial leads and 3.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and compact board placement.
• Leakage Current Specification — Leakage current after 1 minute at rated voltage and 20°C is not more than 0.03CV (µA), per series datasheet limits.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Provides DC bus smoothing and output filtering where low impedance and ripple tolerance are required.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Suitable for general electronic equipment requiring electrolytic bulk capacitance and decoupling.
• Compact Power Modules — Radial can and small footprint make it a fit for space-constrained through-hole power designs.

Unique Advantages

• Reliable high-temperature performance: Rated for operation up to +105°C with a specified 3000-hour load life at that temperature for this case size, supporting elevated-temperature designs.
• Measured ripple capability: Published ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 200 kHz help designers assess thermal and filtering performance across low and high-frequency ripple sources.
• Low-impedance characteristic: UPJ series specification for low impedance reduces voltage ripple under load in switching applications.
• Compact radial form factor: Small can dimensions (L: 1.5 × D: 0.8 cm) and 3.5 mm lead spacing save board area while enabling robust through-hole mounting.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current limited to 0.03CV (µA) after initial application of rated voltage provides a verifiable parameter for power-budget calculations.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for use in compliant assemblies.
