UPS2C470MHD

The UPS2C470MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPS series, offered as a miniature, low-impedance solution for power electronic designs. It is a polarized, general-purpose capacitor specified at 47 µF and 160 V, designed for applications that require compact filtering and decoupling performance across a wide temperature range.

Key value propositions include a compact φ12.5×25 mm can, rated endurance at elevated temperature, measurable ripple-current capability at both low and high frequencies, and RoHS compliance for regulatory compatibility.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 47 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low-loss Characteristic — tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.15 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting stable AC performance under typical line-frequency conditions.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 220 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 352 mA at 10 kHz, suitable for both line-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency switching environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 400.8 µA (measured after rated voltage application conditions), enabling predictable DC leakage behavior in designs.
• Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C under rated DC bias plus ripple current, providing defined life expectations for elevated-temperature operation.
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial-lead can with case size φ12.5×25 mm and lead spacing of 5.0 mm (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Temperature Range & Compliance — Operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Compact, low-impedance decoupling and smoothing for switching regulator outputs and intermediate bus filtering.
• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk and local filtering in consumer and industrial electronics where a 160 V polarized capacitor is needed.
• Prototyping and Repair — Radial-lead form factor and bag/bulk packaging make it suitable for board-level prototyping and field repair tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Radial Can — φ12.5×25 mm footprint provides a small board space solution for higher-voltage capacitance.
• Defined High-Temperature Endurance — 3000 hours at 105°C gives designers a clear reliability envelope for elevated-temperature deployments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified from -40°C to +105°C to support a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Measured Ripple Capability — Published ripple current figures at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size capacitors against expected AC stress in both low- and high-frequency circuits.
• Predictable Leakage and Loss — Specified leakage current and tanδ at 20°C/120 Hz help with power-loss budgeting and DC leakage planning.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for lead-free manufacturing and regulatory compliance.
