UPW1C472MHD6

The UPW1C472MHD6 is a miniature, high-reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series. It is a radial lead, polarized capacitor specified at 4700 µF (4.7 mF) and 16 V, designed for applications that require high ripple handling and low impedance in a compact can package.

Key value propositions include low impedance (40 mΩ), high frequency ripple capability (2.74 A at 10 kHz), and extended endurance (8000 hours at 105°C), making it suitable for demanding power electronics and automotive use where stability over temperature and time is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) rated at 16 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low Impedance & Loss — Specified impedance of 40 mΩ and tanδ of 0.22 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), supporting improved transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 2.329 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2.74 A at 10 kHz to handle switching-induced ripple.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 2256 µA for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated lifetime of 8000 hours at 105°C and operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C; meets AEC-Q200.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, size φ18 × 25 mm (diameter × length), lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing options.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low impedance and high ripple current make it suitable for bulk smoothing and output filtering in switching regulators.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating combined with −55°C to +105°C operation and long endurance supports use in automotive control modules and power systems.
• Power Rails and DC–DC Converters — Compact footprint and 40 mΩ impedance support stable decoupling and transient suppression on local power rails.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz enable reliable filtering under heavy switching loads.
• Extended high-temperature endurance: 8000 hours at 105°C for long-term stability in elevated operating temperatures.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Explicit AEC-Q200 rating for designs that require recognized automotive-grade passive components.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ18 × 25 mm radial can with standard 7.5 mm lead spacing eases through-hole layout and replacement.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Explicit impedance (40 mΩ), tanδ (0.22), and leakage current specifications allow predictable design margins.
• Flexible packaging: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit production or prototype workflows.
