UPS2C471MRD

The UPS2C471MRD from Nichicon is a miniature, low‑impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for switching power supplies and general‑purpose power electronics. It delivers 470 µF nominal capacitance at a 160 V rating in a radial can package optimized for dense layouts and bulk energy storage.

Key value comes from its combination of high working voltage, measurable ripple handling, wide operating temperature range, and extended endurance at elevated temperature—providing stable filtering and hold‑up performance in power conversion applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage for higher‑voltage DC rails.
• Low Impedance & Ripple Handling — Specified ripple current: 1.2 A at 120 Hz and 1.38 A at 10 kHz, supporting ripple filtering across common switching frequencies.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −40 °C to 105 °C with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 105 °C under specified conditions.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, radial can package with lead spacing of 1 cm and compact physical size (L: 5 × D: 2.2 cm), suited for through‑hole board layouts.
• Electrical Characteristics — Polarized device with tolerance of −20% to +20%; leakage and loss characteristics consistent with the UPS series design.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk and output filtering to smooth high‑voltage DC rails and reduce ripple in power converters.
• Power Conversion Modules — Energy storage and decoupling on higher‑voltage DC‑DC converter stages.
• General‑Purpose Power Electronics — Use where compact, high‑voltage capacitance and reliable endurance are required for smoothing and hold‑up.

Unique Advantages

• High Working Voltage: 160 V rating enables use on elevated DC rails without series stacking.
• Significant Bulk Capacitance: 470 µF provides substantial energy reserve for filtering and transient suppression.
• Measured Ripple Capability: Rated ripple currents of 1.2 A (120 Hz) and 1.38 A (10 kHz) give designers defined limits for thermal and ripple management.
• Wide Temperature & Proven Endurance: −40 °C to 105 °C operating range with 3000 hours endurance at 105 °C supports sustained operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact Radial Can Footprint: L: 5 × D: 2.2 cm and 1 cm lead spacing allow denser board placement for power supplies with limited area.
• RoHS Compliance: Environmentally compliant construction for markets requiring hazardous‑substance restrictions.
