UPJ1C471MPD

The UPJ1C471MPD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's UPJ series, offering 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is a low-impedance, polarized radial can designed for general-purpose use and is specified as ideally suited for switching power supplies.

Key electrical characteristics include a tanδ of 0.16 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), specified leakage current and ripple current ratings, a wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C, and an endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C for the φ8 case size.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at a 16 V rated voltage.
• Low Loss / Low Impedance — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.16 at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient performance in power circuits.
• Ripple Current Handling — Rated ripple current of 381.3 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 615 mA at 200 kHz (high frequency) for effective AC ripple accommodation.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 225.6 µA after rated voltage is applied, supporting predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from -55°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C for the φ8 case.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead (φ8 × 20 mm can) with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing for PCB assembly.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Ideally suited for use in switching power supply circuits where low impedance and reliable ripple handling are required.
• General-purpose power filtering — Suitable for general-purpose decoupling and smoothing tasks in electronic designs.
• PCB-mounted radial lead designs — Designed for applications that use radial-can capacitors with 3.5 mm lead spacing and φ8 case size.

Unique Advantages

• Low-impedance performance: Tanδ of 0.16 (20°C, 120 Hz) supports reduced AC loss in power circuits.
• High ripple capability: Dual ripple ratings (381.3 mA at 120 Hz and 615 mA at 200 kHz) address both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Wide temperature tolerance: −55°C to +105°C operating range enables use across varied thermal conditions.
• Proven endurance at elevated temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C (φ8 case) provides predictable life performance for sustained-loaded applications.
• Compact radial can: φ8 × 20 mm size with 3.5 mm lead spacing fits space-constrained PCB layouts that require through-hole radial components.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for environmental requirement alignment.
