UPJ1C470MDD

The UPJ1C470MDD is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPJ series. It is a polarized, radial-lead component designed for compact through-hole designs and general-purpose power electronics.

With a 47 µF capacitance at 16 V, a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C) and low impedance characteristics, this capacitor is suited for applications such as switching power supplies and other compact power-smoothing or decoupling functions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 47 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz).
• Low loss / tan δ — tanδ 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, indicating low dielectric loss for stable performance in filtering applications.
• Ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 46.92 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 92 mA (200 kHz) for handling switching-related ripple.
• Low leakage — Leakage current specified at 22.56 µA, helping minimize standby loss in low-current systems.
• Thermal & endurance — Operating temperature range −55 °C to 105 °C with a rated life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & mounting — Polarized radial-lead can (φ5 × 11 mm), lead spacing 2.0 mm (tolerance ±0.5 mm); offered in bulk or bag packing.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Output smoothing and decoupling where low impedance and reliable ripple handling are required.
• General-purpose power electronics — Bulk decoupling and filtering in compact consumer and industrial boards.
• Compact through-hole modules — Space-constrained power modules and assemblies that require a small radial-lead electrolytic capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• Compact form factor: φ5 × 11 mm body and 2 mm lead spacing enable deployment in tight through-hole layouts.
• Measured low-loss performance: tanδ 0.16 at 20 °C, 120 Hz provides predictable filtering characteristics for designers.
• Ripple management: Specified ripple current values at both low and high frequencies (46.92 mA @120 Hz, 92 mA @200 kHz) support switching supply applications.
• Low leakage: 22.56 µA leakage current helps minimize parasitic losses in standby and low-power circuits.
• Wide temperature range: −55 °C to 105 °C operation supports deployment across varied environmental conditions.
• RoHS compliant manufacturing: Meets environmental directives for reduced hazardous substances.
