UPW0J472MHD6

The UPW0J472MHD6 is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon, designed for low-impedance bulk energy storage and ripple suppression in switching power supplies. Its radial-can construction and compact footprint make it suitable for space-constrained power designs.

Targeted at demanding environments, this polarized capacitor combines a 4.7 mF capacitance at 6.3 V with measurable low impedance and high ripple-current capability, delivering stable performance across −55 °C to 105 °C and backed by AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive applications.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 4.7 mF capacitance rated at 6.3 V for bulk filtering and energy storage on low-voltage rails.
• Low Impedance — 50 mΩ impedance to reduce output ripple and improve transient response in switching supplies.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 1.964 A at 120 Hz and 2.31 A at 10 kHz for effective high-frequency smoothing.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from −55 °C to 105 °C to accommodate industrial and automotive temperature profiles.
• Long High‑Temperature Lifetime — 7000 hours endurance at 105 °C for sustained reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated for use in automotive electronic assemblies.
• Radial Lead, Through-Hole Package — Radial can with 5 mm lead spacing for secure mechanical mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Compact Footprint — Physical size L: 3.05 × D: 1.25 cm for designs where board space is limited.
• Polarized Design — Intended for DC power-circuit applications requiring polarized electrolytic capacitance.
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C for predictable sizing in design margins.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and decoupling to reduce output ripple and stabilize switching regulator loops.
• Automotive Electronics — Power modules and control units that require AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance.
• Power Filtering — High-frequency ripple attenuation and transient handling in DC power networks, leveraging low impedance and rated ripple current.

Unique Advantages

• Lower ripple voltage: 50 mΩ impedance and specified ripple currents (1.964 A at 120 Hz, 2.31 A at 10 kHz) reduce AC voltage fluctuations at the load.
• Compact bulk capacitance: 4.7 mF in a small L 3.05 × D 1.25 cm can enables space-efficient energy storage for compact power assemblies.
• Endurance at elevated temperature: 7000 h life at 105 °C supports long-term operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Automotive readiness: AEC-Q200 rating provides a verified qualification path for automotive system integration.
• Robust mounting: Radial lead, 5 mm lead spacing and can package offer mechanical stability for board-level power applications.
