UPM1A472MHD

The UPM1A472MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, offering 4700 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating. It is a low-impedance, polarized can-style capacitor designed for demanding power-filtering and energy-storage roles in industrial and automotive electronics.

Key value comes from high ripple-current capability, low impedance, extended high-temperature endurance (5000 hours at 105°C), and AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable where reliability and thermal stability are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF capacitance rated at 10 V for bulk energy storage and smoothing on low-voltage rails.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 23 mΩ, supporting fast transient response and effective decoupling in power circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 3.819 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 2.17 A at 200 kHz for robust performance under continuous AC ripple loading.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated operating temperature from -55°C to +105°C with a rated lifetime of 5000 hours at 105°C, supporting extended operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Tangent of Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ of 0.25 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 10 V, suitable for evaluating dissipation in AC conditions.
• Mechanical & Packaging — Radial lead can package, dimensions φ16 × 30.5 mm (L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing; available in bulk or bag packing.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC-Q200-qualified and RoHS compliant, with mass-production availability for volume designs.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Smoothing — Bulk filtering and decoupling on low-voltage DC rails where high ripple-current handling and low impedance improve voltage stability.
• DC-DC Converters — Output-side energy storage and transient suppression in converter stages benefiting from the capacitor’s low impedance and high ripple capacity.
• Automotive Electronics — Energy buffering and filtering in automotive systems that require components qualified to AEC-Q200 and designed for high-temperature endurance.
• Industrial Power Modules — Filtering and hold-up in industrial controllers and power modules operating across -55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Supports 3.819 A (120 Hz) and 2.17 A (200 kHz), enabling continuous operation under significant AC loading without performance degradation.
• Low ESR/Impedance: 23 mΩ impedance reduces voltage drop and heating during high-current transients, improving regulator stability and efficiency.
• Extended high-temperature life: 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in thermally demanding installations.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Built to a recognized automotive stress standard for designers targeting automotive and similarly rigorous applications.
• Production-ready supply: RoHS compliant and in mass production with bulk and bag packing options to support prototype through volume manufacturing.
