UPS2E470MHD

The UPS2E470MHD from Nichicon’s UPS series is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for switching power supply and general-purpose power-filtering applications. It is a polarized radial-lead, radial-can package designed to fit compact PCB layouts while providing a 250 V rated voltage and 47 µF capacitance.

Key value comes from its combination of high voltage rating, compact physical size (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm), wide operating temperature range and defined endurance at elevated temperature, making it suited to demanding power-rail and filtering roles where space and thermal performance matter. The device is RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 47 µF nominal capacitance with a 250 V rated voltage for higher-voltage DC rail applications.
• Low Impedance Construction — Designed for low impedance to support switching power supply ripple reduction and improved transient performance.
• Temperature Range & Endurance — Operates from −40 °C to +105 °C with an established endurance of 3000 hours at 105 °C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current: 230 mA at 120 Hz and 368 mA at 10 kHz, supporting steady-state and high-frequency ripple handling.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, radial-can package with 7.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole PCB mounting and reliable mechanical retention.
• Polarized & Tolerance — Polarized capacitor with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Output and bulk filtering on higher-voltage switching regulators where 250 V rating and low impedance support ripple suppression.
• DC–DC Converters and Regulators — Energy storage and smoothing on intermediate and high-voltage rails in power modules.
• Industrial Power Filtering — Decoupling and smoothing in industrial control equipment where wide operating temperature and defined endurance are important.
• Consumer and Commercial Electronics — General-purpose power-rail filtering in compact, through-hole assemblies requiring a high-voltage, radial-lead capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Capability: 250 V rating enables use on higher-voltage DC rails without stepping up to larger or more complex parts.
• Compact Footprint: Small radial-can dimensions (L: 2.5 × D: 1.6 cm) allow tighter PCB packing while maintaining through-hole mounting robustness.
• Thermal Endurance: 3000-hour rating at 105 °C provides a clear reliability metric for elevated-temperature installations.
• Effective Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz demonstrate capability for both low- and high-frequency filtering demands.
• Easy Through-Hole Integration: 7.5 mm lead spacing and radial-lead format simplify placement and mechanical mounting in conventional PCB assemblies.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmentally constrained designs and procurement requirements.
