UPW1C471MPD6

The UPW1C471MPD6 is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UPW series, engineered for miniature, low-impedance power designs. It delivers 470 µF at a 16 V rating in a compact φ8 × 15 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for demanding environments, this part combines a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C), a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 105 °C, and an AEC-Q200 rating to support robust power filtering in switching power supplies and automotive electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance rated at 16 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in low-voltage systems.
• Low impedance — Specified impedance of 170 mΩ to support stable performance under ripple and transient loads.
• Ripple current capability — 547.5 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 730 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency) to handle switching supply ripple across common operating bands.
• Loss tangent (tan δ) — 0.16 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz (specified for the 16 V rating) to characterize dielectric losses.
• Leakage current — 225.6 µA (measured after application of rated voltage) for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Reliability & qualification — AEC-Q200 rated with a 3000-hour endurance at 105 °C, supporting long-term operation in thermally stressed assemblies.
• Mechanical & packaging — Radial lead mounting in a φ8 × 15 mm can, 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.
• Temperature range — Operates from −55 °C to 105 °C for broad environmental tolerance.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Local energy storage and output filtering in compact, high-frequency DC–DC converters, leveraging the part's low impedance and high-frequency ripple capability.
• Automotive electronics — Suitable for automotive use cases where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Compact radial-lead power modules — Miniature φ8 × 15 mm radial package fits tightly constrained assemblies that require axial lead placement and bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact energy density — 470 µF in an 8 mm diameter × 15 mm length can help minimize board area while delivering substantial capacitance.
• Measurable low-impedance performance — 170 mΩ specified impedance and defined tan δ (0.16) support predictable frequency-dependent behavior during design and validation.
• Frequency-tailored ripple handling — Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size capacitors for both low- and high-frequency switching environments.
• High-temperature endurance — 3000 hours at 105 °C provides a clear reliability baseline for thermally demanding applications.
• Automotive-grade qualification — AEC-Q200 rating aligns the part for applications requiring recognized passive-component qualification.
• Standard radial footprint and packaging options — 3.5 mm lead spacing with ±0.5 mm tolerance and bulk/bag packing options simplify procurement and assembly planning.
