UPW0J470MDD

The UPW0J470MDD is a miniature, radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series, engineered for low impedance and high reliability in compact power designs. It delivers 47 µF nominal capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with polarized radial leads and a small can package suitable for tight board layouts.

Targeted for switching power supplies and compact through-hole assemblies, the part combines a wide operating temperature range and endurance characteristics to support demanding power-filtering applications where size and performance are critical.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 47 µF nominal capacitance with a 6.3 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, providing defined energy storage for low-voltage power rails.
• Miniature Radial Package: Small can dimension φ5 × 11 mm (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.5 cm) with 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), designed for compact through-hole layouts.
• Low Loss (tan δ): Specified tan δ of 0.22 at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting stable AC performance in filtering applications.
• Ripple Current Capability: Low-frequency ripple current 54 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 180 mA (10 kHz), enabling effective smoothing across typical switching frequencies.
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C, suitable for thermally demanding environments.
• Endurance: Rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C, providing predictable lifetime behavior under elevated temperature stress.
• Polarized Construction: Polarized aluminum electrolytic design for DC power applications requiring electrolytic capacitance in a radial through-hole form.
• AEC Rating: AEC-Q200 rated, reflecting qualification for AEC passive-component test requirements.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance, miniature capacitance for input/output filtering and decoupling in compact switching regulators.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200-rated capacitor suited for automotive system modules that require electrolytic smoothing at low voltages.
• Compact Through‑Hole Assemblies — Radial-lead format and small can diameter make this part suitable for space-constrained PCB designs using through-hole mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Small footprint with defined mechanical sizing: φ5 × 11 mm can (L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.5 cm) enables dense board placement where board area is limited.
• Measurable ripple-handling across frequencies: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide clear selection guidance for both low- and high-frequency filtering.
• Broad temperature tolerance: −55°C to +105°C rating supports operation across a wide thermal range common in industrial and automotive environments.
• Proven endurance data: 2000 hours at 105°C provides a predictable baseline for lifetime planning in thermal-stressed applications.
• Industry AEC qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports use in designs that reference AEC passive-component testing standards.
• Radial lead format for ease of assembly: 2.0 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole placement and soldering in conventional assembly processes.
