The UPJ2C470MHD from Nichicon is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor, rated 470 µF at 160 V. It is part of the UPJ series designed for low impedance performance and reliable operation in power electronics.

Engineered for general-purpose and switching power supply applications, this radial can delivers high ripple handling and long-term endurance for demanding through-hole power supply and power management designs. Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 160 V, tolerance ±20%.
• Low impedance design — Series heritage and construction target low impedance for switching power supply use.
• High ripple current capability — Low-frequency ripple current 220 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 352 mA (200 kHz), for effective filtering under varying switching regimes.
• Leakage and dissipation — Specified leakage current 400.8 µA and tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Endurance — Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended life under high-temperature load conditions.
• Mechanical and mounting — Radial lead, polarized can package with dimensions φ16 × 25 mm and lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole assembly.
• Operating range & compliance — Operating temperature −40°C to +105°C; RoHS compliant.
• Packaging — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and specified ripple ratings make this capacitor suitable for bulk filtering and energy storage in switching regulators.
• General-Purpose Power Electronics — Useful for decoupling and smoothing in a wide range of through-hole power designs where a 160 V rated electrolytic is required.
• Through-Hole Board Assemblies — Radial lead package and 7.5 mm lead spacing are tailored for discrete component layouts and repairable boards.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 160 V rating provides headroom for higher-voltage rails and safety margins in power circuits.
• Long-term reliability: 5000-hour endurance at 105°C supports longer service life in high-temperature operating environments.
• Measured ripple performance: Separate low- and high-frequency ripple current specifications (220 mA @120 Hz, 352 mA @200 kHz) allow designers to evaluate suitability across switching regimes.
• Practical form factor: φ16 × 25 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing simplifies placement in through-hole power assemblies.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for environmental regulatory alignment.
