UPJ0J472MHD

The UPJ0J472MHD is a miniature, high‑reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series. It is a radial‑lead, polarized can designed to deliver bulk capacitance and low impedance for power applications.

Engineered for use in switching power supplies and general‑purpose electronic designs, the part combines 4.7 mF (4700 µF) capacitance at 6.3 V with robust ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 4.7 mF (4700 µF) nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 6.3 V and tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low Impedance, Power‑oriented — Specified as a low‑impedance UPJ series device intended for switching power supplies, supporting both low‑frequency and high‑frequency ripple currents.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low frequency ripple current 1.701 A (120 Hz) and high frequency ripple current 1.89 A (200 kHz), enabling effective smoothing in power circuits.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C; operational temperature range from -55°C to +105°C for sustained high‑temperature performance.
• Electrical Losses — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) specified at 0.28 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 6.3 V), useful for assessing ESR-related losses in design.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 888.3 µA, measured per product data conditions.
• Radial Lead Package — Through‑hole radial can with dimensions φ12.5 × 35.5 mm (L) and lead spacing 5 mm (±0.5 mm), available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
• Compliance & Availability — RoHS‑compliant and currently in mass production.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance characteristics and high ripple current capability make this part suitable for bulk smoothing and output filtering in switching converters.
• General‑Purpose Electronics — Provides large bulk capacitance for designs that require reliable energy storage and filtering across a wide temperature range (-55°C to +105°C).
• Through‑Hole Power Modules — Radial‑lead, polarized can with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward PCB mounting in through‑hole power assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High Endurance at Elevated Temperature: 5000 hours rated life at 105°C supports long‑term reliability in demanding thermal environments.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Combined low‑ and high‑frequency ripple current ratings (1.701 A / 1.89 A) reduce voltage ripple and heat buildup in power stages.
• Compact Bulk Capacitance: 4700 µF in a φ12.5 × 35.5 mm can delivers significant energy storage in a miniature radial package.
• Measurable Loss Characteristics: Specified tanδ (0.28 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current (888.3 µA) allow designers to evaluate ESR-related losses and standby drain precisely.
• Mounting Flexibility: Radial lead format with 5 mm spacing and available bulk/bag packing supports through‑hole assembly and straightforward handling.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction simplifies use in regulated product lines.
