UPM2C470MHD

The UPM2C470MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series designed for demanding power applications. It combines a high 160 V rating with 470 µF capacitance in a compact φ16 × 25 mm can, delivering bulk energy storage and filtering where elevated voltage, ripple handling and long-term reliability are required.

Targeted at applications that demand qualified, rugged components, this part offers long endurance at elevated temperature, measurable loss characteristics, and leaded mounting for easy integration into through-hole assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage, with capacitance tolerance ±20% for predictable bulk storage and filtering.
• High-temperature Endurance — Designed for 5000 hours at 105°C, providing sustained performance under elevated operating temperatures.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current 220 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 352 mA (200 kHz) to support both mains-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency switching environments.
• Loss Characteristics — Dissipation factor (tan δ) 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable ESR-related behavior in circuit design.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current 400.8 µA for predictable standby and bias conditions after voltage application.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ16 × 25 mm) with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and bulk/bag packing options for straightforward through-hole assembly.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 rated and RoHS compliant, aligning with supplier qualification requirements for regulated markets.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — AEC-Q200 qualification and the 160 V rating make this capacitor suitable for in-vehicle power modules and control systems that require high-voltage bulk capacitance.
• DC link and smoothing — 470 µF capacitance and specified ripple currents support DC bus smoothing in converters and bridge circuits.
• Power supply filtering — Use in through-hole power supplies where long-term high-temperature endurance and predictable leakage are important.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: The 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage rails where lower-voltage electrolytics cannot be applied.
• Long rated life at elevated temperature: 5000 hours at 105°C supports designs that must sustain prolonged thermal stress without significant degradation.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 200 kHz provide data-driven selection for both low-frequency smoothing and high-frequency switching environments.
• Measurable electrical characteristics: Provided tan δ and leakage current values help predict ESR-related losses and bias behavior in system-level simulations and reliability assessments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating addresses demanding qualification needs in regulated vehicle electronic systems.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements for use in markets requiring lead-free compliance.
