UPW1V472MHD

The UPW1V472MHD from Nichicon is a miniature, radial‑lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from the UPW series, engineered for high reliability in power systems. Designed for switching power supplies and other power‑handling circuits, it combines large capacitance and low impedance in a compact can package.

This part delivers 4700 µF at 35 V with AEC‑Q200 qualification and long endurance at elevated temperature, making it suitable for demanding environments that require sustained ripple handling and stable performance across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4700 µF rated capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low Impedance — Specified impedance of 28 mOhm to reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response in power rails.
• High Ripple Capability — Rated ripple currents of 3.23 A at 120 Hz and 3.8 A at 10 kHz to handle both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple in switching supplies.
• Thermal and Endurance Performance — Operates from −55°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 8000 hours at 105°C for prolonged high‑temperature operation.
• Loss Characteristics — tan δ (DF) specified at 0.18 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Compact Radial Package — φ18 × 40 mm can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm); available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing for flexible assembly options.
• Reliability Grade — AEC‑Q200 rating, indicating suitability for applications requiring automotive‑grade reliability testing and qualification.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing, decoupling and output filtering for DC‑DC converters and SMPS designs where low impedance and high ripple handling are required.
• Automotive Electronics — Power smoothing and decoupling in vehicle electronics, leveraging the AEC‑Q200 rating and extended temperature range for automotive environments.
• Industrial Power Systems — Energy storage and transient suppression in industrial power rails and control systems that operate across wide temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High Energy Density in a Small Footprint: 4700 µF in a φ18 × 40 mm can offers substantial bulk capacitance where board space is limited.
• Robust Ripple Handling: Dual ripple ratings (3.23 A @120 Hz and 3.8 A @10 kHz) support both line‑frequency and switching‑frequency stress without sacrificing performance.
• Designed for Elevated Temperature Duty: 8000 hours endurance at 105°C enables longer service life in thermally demanding installations.
• Engineered Low Impedance: 28 mOhm impedance reduces voltage drop under load and improves overall power integrity.
• Automotive‑Grade Reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification aligns the part to programs requiring established automotive test standards.
• Versatile Mounting Options: Radial lead construction and packaging choices (Bulk/Bag) simplify prototyping and through‑hole assembly processes.
