UPW2CR47MED

The UPW2CR47MED is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a radial can package, designed for low-impedance, high-reliability use in switching power supply circuits. With a capacitance of 470 nF and a 160 V rated voltage, it targets compact, high-voltage decoupling and filtering applications, including automotive electronics where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.

Its radial lead construction and small footprint make it suitable for through-hole assemblies and designs that need compact, reliable bulk or bypass capacitance at elevated temperatures.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 nF capacitance with a 160 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% for voltage-higher decoupling and filter use.
• Low Impedance for Switching Supplies — Described as low impedance and specified ripple current values of 12 mA at 120 Hz and 19.2 mA at 10 kHz support ripple handling in switching environments.
• Automotive Grade Reliability — AEC-Q200 rating and an explicit application focus on automotive electronics provide a qualification path for vehicle systems.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole mounting and prototyping while maintaining a compact footprint.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for operation from −40°C to +105°C with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C for predictable performance under elevated ambient conditions.
• Polarized Electrolytic Construction — Polar capacitor type suitable for DC decoupling and bulk energy storage use cases where polarity is maintained.
• Compact Size — Small physical dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) help save PCB area in dense power assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Low-impedance performance and specified ripple currents make this part suitable for input/output decoupling and filtering in switching converters.
• Automotive Electronics — AEC-Q200 rating and a wide operating temperature range support use in automotive power-management modules and control electronics.
• High-Voltage DC Circuits — 160 V rating allows deployment in higher-voltage rails requiring compact electrolytic capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-voltage capability: 160 V rating in a miniature radial can lets designers place high-voltage capacitance into space-constrained layouts.
• Designed for switching environments: Low-impedance description plus measured ripple-current figures at 120 Hz and 10 kHz provide data points for thermal and ripple management in converters.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports qualification requirements common in vehicle systems, reducing qualification risk for suppliers.
• Robust thermal performance: −40°C to +105°C operating range and a 2000-hour rating at 105°C deliver predictable lifetime behavior in elevated-temperature applications.
• Through-hole simplicity: Radial lead, can package with 2.5 mm lead spacing simplifies assembly and inspection for prototypes and production through-hole boards.
