UPS2ER47MED

The UPS2ER47MED is a miniature, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for switching power supplies and general-purpose electronics. It is a polarized, radial-lead can type capacitor offering a compact footprint and wide operating temperature capability.

Key value comes from its compact dimensions, RoHS compliance, and designed endurance at elevated temperature, making it suitable where small size, reliable ripple handling and temperature resilience are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 nF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 250 V and tolerance of ±20% (–20%~20%).
• Low Impedance for Power — Specified as a low-impedance type intended for switching power supplies; ripple current ratings are 12 mA at 120 Hz and 19.2 mA at 10 kHz, supporting common power‑line and switching frequencies.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operating temperature from –40 °C to +105 °C to support designs operating across broad thermal environments.
• Endurance at High Temperature — Rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105 °C (specified endurance condition), providing predictable aging characteristics under elevated-temperature stress.
• Compact Radial Package — Radial lead, can-type package with lead spacing 2.5 mm and seated height max 1.1 cm; overall size L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm for space-conscious designs.
• Polarized Construction — Polarized aluminum electrolytic design suitable for DC applications where polarity is defined.
• RoHS Compliant — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting regulatory requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Provides low-impedance filtering and energy storage for switching regulators and converters where ripple suppression at audio-to-RF switching frequencies is required.
• Power Filtering and Decoupling — Used in general-purpose power-supply filtering and decoupling to stabilize DC rails in compact circuit assemblies.
• Compact Power Modules — Fits space-constrained modules that need a radial-lead electrolytic with high voltage rating and small footprint.

Unique Advantages

• Space-efficient footprint: Small case dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing save PCB area in dense designs.
• High voltage capability: 250 V rating supports higher-voltage DC rails without requiring series arrangements.
• Designed for switching environments: Low-impedance construction and specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz make the part suitable for switching-regulator outputs.
• Robust thermal endurance: Rated 2000 hours at 105 °C, enabling predictable performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance simplifies material-selection and regulatory tracking for production designs.
• Through-hole mounting simplicity: Radial lead package eases prototyping and reliable solder-through mounting for wave or manual solder processes.
