UPM1A472MHD6

The UPM1A472MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPM series. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-type capacitor specified at 4700 µF (4.7 mF) and 10 V, designed for applications that require high capacitance in a compact package.

This part delivers low impedance (26 mΩ), substantial ripple-current capability (3.714 A at 120 Hz; 2.11 A at 200 kHz), and a wide operating temperature range of –55 °C to 105 °C. It is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and available in mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) with tolerance –20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Rated Voltage — 10 V nominal DC rating for low-voltage power systems.
• Low Impedance — 26 mΩ impedance helps reduce voltage ripple and improves transient response in power circuits.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — 3.714 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.11 A at 200 kHz (high frequency) for robust AC current handling.
• High Reliability & Endurance — Rated life of 5000 hours at 105 °C to support long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from –55 °C to 105 °C for demanding thermal environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package; physical size φ18 × 25L and lead spacing 7.5 mm (lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm).
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolyte capacitor for DC bulk/decoupling applications.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current 1410 µA; dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.25 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification combined with high ripple-current ratings and wide temperature range make this part suitable for automotive electronic modules requiring stable energy storage.
• In-vehicle modules and control units — Low impedance and high capacitance support power-supply smoothing and transient suppression in vehicle electronics.
• Telematics and infotainment systems — Compact 4700 µF capacitance in a small can package addresses bulk decoupling needs where space is limited.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-capacitance solution: 4700 µF in a φ18 × 25L can offers significant capacitance density for size-constrained designs.
• Engineered for elevated-temperature endurance: 5000-hour life at 105 °C supports reliability in thermally demanding environments.
• Strong ripple-handling capability: High LF and HF ripple-current ratings reduce heating and extend service life under AC-biased conditions.
• Low impedance improves system performance: 26 mΩ impedance contributes to lower ripple voltage and better transient performance.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating enables use in automotive program designs that require component-level qualification.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance addresses environmental substance requirements.
