UPS2CR47MED

The UPS2CR47MED is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPS series designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose DC filtering. It is a polarized, radial-lead can-style capacitor that delivers a compact form factor and electrical characteristics intended for space-constrained power and electronic circuitry.

Key value propositions include a 160 V rating at 470 nF capacitance, a wide operating temperature range to 105 °C, defined ripple current performance across low- and high-frequency conditions, and RoHS compliance for modern production requirements.

Key Features

• Electrical Characteristics — 470 nF capacitance with a rated voltage of 160 V and a tolerance of ±20% for predictable DC filtering and energy storage in compact circuits.
• Low-Impedance Design — Specified as low impedance for switching power supplies, with rated ripple current of 12 mA at 120 Hz and 19.2 mA at 10 kHz to support switching regulator and filter duty.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 105 °C, suitable for environments where elevated temperature endurance is required.
• Reliability / Lifetime — Specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C to help define maintenance intervals and thermal design considerations.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing of 2.5 mm and overall size L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm for tight PCB layouts and through-hole mounting.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized electrolytic design for DC applications where polarity is controlled.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) for regulatory compliance in assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Used for output filtering and decoupling where low impedance and defined ripple current handling at switching frequencies are required.
• General-Purpose DC Filtering — Suitable for bulk or bypass filtering in compact power circuits and auxiliary supply rails.
• Compact Power Modules — Miniature can package and tight lead spacing make it a fit for space-constrained power assemblies and module-level filtering.

Unique Advantages

• Compact Footprint: Small physical dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing reduce PCB area for through-hole capacitor placements.
• High Voltage Capability: 160 V rating enables use in higher-voltage DC circuits without upsizing component form factor.
• Frequency-Aware Ripple Performance: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz provides clarity for designs spanning low-frequency bulk smoothing to high-frequency switching loads.
• Thermal Endurance: 2000-hour lifetime at 105 °C supports designs with sustained elevated temperatures and helps plan for lifecycle requirements.
• RoHS Compliance: Meets RoHS requirements simplifying regulatory alignment for assemblies.
• Through-Hole Convenience: Radial lead, can-style package simplifies manual insertion and standard through-hole assembly processes.
