UPW2F470MHD

The UPW2F470MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UPW series, specified at 470 µF and 315 V. It is engineered for power-electronics use where high voltage handling, long endurance and compact radial packaging are required.

Designed for demanding power-supply and power-conversion environments, this capacitor combines a miniature can package (φ16 × 35.5 mm) with performance characteristics useful in switching supplies, industrial power modules and automotive electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance rated for 315 V, providing bulk energy storage and smoothing in high-voltage circuits.
• Electrical Loss — tanδ (DF) 0.2 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable dissipation characteristics for design calculations.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 190 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 304 mA at 10 kHz, supporting AC ripple handling across a range of switching frequencies.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current 692.2 µA, allowing designers to budget standby losses and leakage behavior precisely.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Life rated 8000 hours at 105°C with an operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C for long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial can package (φ16 × 35.5 mm), lead spacing 7.5 mm (±0.5 mm), suitable for through-hole assemblies; available in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming).
• Automotive-Grade Screening — Includes AEC-Q200 rating, supporting use in automotive-grade electronic applications where that qualification is required.
• Product Status — End Of Life; status provided for lifecycle planning and procurement decisions.

Typical Applications

• Switching Power Supplies — Bulk filtering and energy buffering for isolated and non-isolated converters, leveraging the 315 V rating and high ripple-current capability.
• DC Link / Bus Capacitor — Smoothing and stabilizing intermediate DC rails in power conversion stages where compact radial capacitors are preferred.
• Industrial Power Modules — Energy storage and surge absorption in motor drives, UPS modules and industrial converters operating up to 105°C.
• Automotive Electronics — Voltage smoothing and decoupling in automotive power subsystems, where AEC-Q200 screening is required.

Unique Advantages

• High Voltage Handling: 315 V rating enables use in higher-voltage power rails without series-parallel arrangements.
• Long-Term Endurance: 8000 hours at 105°C supports designs that require sustained performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Frequency-Range Ripple Performance: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz help designers predict thermal and ripple performance across switching regimes.
• Compact Radial Can: φ16 × 35.5 mm package with 7.5 mm lead spacing offers a space-efficient through-hole option for board-level power designs.
• Automotive Screening: AEC-Q200 rating provides an added level of qualification for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Predictable Leakage: Explicit leakage current specification (692.2 µA) simplifies power-loss budgeting and system standby calculations.
