UPJ1C471MPD6

The UPJ1C471MPD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPJ series, offering 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is a low-impedance, general-purpose power capacitor engineered for applications where sustained ripple handling and long endurance at elevated temperatures are required.

Typical use cases include switching power supplies and other general-purpose power-filtering roles where reliable performance, predictable loss characteristics and prolonged high-temperature life are important.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ of 0.16 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing defined dissipation characteristics for power applications.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 381.3 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 615 mA (200 kHz) to support switching environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 225.6 µA for predictable standby behavior after voltage application.
• Long Endurance — 5000 hours rated lifetime at 105°C for the φ10 case size, supporting long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of thermal conditions.
• Radial Lead Package — φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial-lead mounting for through-hole assemblies; packaging available in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as specified in the product data.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and defined ripple-current ratings make this capacitor suitable for output smoothing and decoupling in switching regulators.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Intended for a range of general-purpose power applications that require stable capacitance and leakage performance.
• Production and Prototyping — Available in bulk or bag packing for volume assembly and evaluation during development.

Unique Advantages

• Designed for switching environments — Marketed within the UPJ series as "Low Impedance, For Switching Power Supplies," aligning its characteristics with switch-mode power needs.
• Quantified ripple performance — Explicit low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (381.3 mA at 120 Hz and 615 mA at 200 kHz) allow engineers to size capacitors against measured ripple loads.
• Long high-temperature life — 5000-hour endurance at 105°C for the φ10 case supports sustained operation in elevated-temperature designs.
• Predictable electrical behavior — Specified tanδ and leakage current values give clear design margins for loss and standby current budgeting.
• Compact radial form factor — φ10 × 16 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing offers a small footprint for through-hole power boards and modules.
• Manufacturing-ready supply — RoHS compliance and mass-production status support production forecasting and compliance needs.
