UPJ1K470MPD6

The UPJ1K470MPD6 is a Nichicon UPJ-series aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for low-impedance performance in switching power supply and general-purpose power applications. It is a polarized, radial-lead can designed for compact assemblies and sustained operation across a wide temperature range.

Key value propositions include an 80 V rating with 47 µF capacitance, low loss (tanδ 0.08 at 20°C, 120 Hz), and extended endurance defined for high-temperature operation to support reliable filtering and decoupling in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Low-impedance design for power conversion — Specified for use in switching power supplies and other power electronics; low loss (tanδ 0.08 at 20°C, 120 Hz) supports efficient filtering.
• Electrical ratings — Rated voltage 80 V and nominal capacitance 47 µF with ±20% tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Ripple handling — Measured low-frequency ripple current of 88.74 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 174 mA at 200 kHz for typical power filtering scenarios.
• Leakage and stability — Specified leakage current of 112.8 µA and a tanδ rating aligned with high-voltage performance limits for stable operation.
• Extended endurance — Rated life/endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C for sustained high-temperature operation (φ10 case noted in series endurance guidelines).
• Compact radial package — Radial-lead can with dimensions φ10 × 12.5 mm and 5 mm lead spacing, available in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assemblies.
• Wide operating temperature — Operates from −55°C to +105°C to cover a broad range of environmental conditions.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead-free assembly environments.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance characteristic and rated ripple currents make this capacitor suitable for input/output smoothing and decoupling in switch-mode power supplies.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics — Offers a reliable polarized storage element for miscellaneous power filtering tasks in industrial and consumer equipment.
• Compact Through-Hole Assemblies — Small φ10 × 12.5 mm radial-can package with 5 mm lead spacing is suited to space-constrained PCB layouts requiring axial stability and easy insertion.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 80 V rating supports higher-voltage rails without the need for series capacitors, simplifying BOM and layout.
• Measured ripple performance: Defined low- and high-frequency ripple current values help designers size components to match regulator and converter ripple profiles.
• Long-term thermal endurance: 5000-hour rating at 105°C provides predictable lifing for sustained high-temperature applications.
• Compact footprint: φ10 × 12.5 mm can minimizes board area while preserving through-hole robustness for mechanical retention and thermal dissipation.
• Consistent loss characteristics: tanδ = 0.08 at 20°C/120 Hz provides predictable ESR-related behavior for control-loop and EMI considerations.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status supports integration into lead-free product lines and compliant manufacturing processes.
