UPM2F470MHD

The UPM2F470MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPM series, designed for high-voltage, high-reliability applications. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 315 V rating in a compact φ18 × 35.5 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for demanding thermal environments, this part offers long endurance (5,000 hours at 105°C), controlled dissipation (tanδ 0.2 at 20°C, 120 Hz), and ripple-handling capability, making it suitable for power filtering, energy-holdup and high-voltage smoothing tasks in systems that require component-level robustness.

Key Features

• High Voltage Rating — 315 V rated voltage for high-voltage DC rails and filtering applications.
• Capacitance and Tolerance — 470 µF with ±20% tolerance to support bulk energy storage and smoothing functions.
• Endurance at Elevated Temperature — 5,000 hours life at 105°C, supporting long-term operation in hot environments.
• Low Loss / Dissipation — tanδ 0.2 (measurement: 20°C, 120 Hz) for controlled dielectric losses in filter applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 235 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 376 mA (200 kHz) for reduced heating under ripple conditions.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 692.2 µA for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ18 × 35.5 mm), lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole assemblies.
• Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for regulated and environmentally constrained designs.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing to support different production workflows.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Use in 315 V rails for smoothing and bulk decoupling in modules that require AEC-Q200 qualified capacitors and high-temperature endurance.
• Industrial Power Supplies — High-voltage filtering and energy storage for DC-DC converters, auxiliary supplies, and control electronics operating up to 105°C.
• Inverters and Motor Drives — Bulk smoothing and ripple mitigation on high-voltage DC links where controlled dissipation and ripple handling reduce thermal stress.
• Energy Hold-up and Buffering — Transient energy buffering on high-voltage circuits requiring substantial capacitance and predictable leakage characteristics.

Unique Advantages

• High working voltage capability — 315 V rating allows direct use on high-voltage DC rails without the need for stacking or complex arrangements.
• Long-term thermal reliability — 5,000 hours endurance at 105°C supports sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments, reducing maintenance and replacement cycles.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 qualification enables use in designs that require automotive-grade components and associated reliability expectations.
• Broad ripple handling — Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (235 mA at 120 Hz; 376 mA at 200 kHz) help minimize internal heating across typical switching and line-frequency conditions.
• Compact through-hole form factor — φ18 × 35.5 mm radial can with 7.5 mm lead spacing provides a dense footprint for through-hole power boards and retrofit applications.
• Regulatory and environmental compliance — RoHS compliance supports deployment in regulated markets and environmentally conscious designs.
