URZ0J472MHD

The URZ0J472MHD is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's URZ series, featuring a 4700 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a compact radial-can package. It is designed for general-purpose low-voltage circuits where high bulk capacitance, through-hole mounting, and elevated temperature endurance are required.

Key electrical and mechanical characteristics include a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, a rated endurance of 1000 hours at 105°C, and compact dimensions of φ16 × 15 mm with radial leads and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Status: End Of Life.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 4700 µF (4.7 mF) nominal with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk energy storage and decoupling in low-voltage designs.
• Voltage Rating — Rated for 6.3 V operation for use in low-voltage power rails and circuits.
• Ripple Current Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 1.01 A (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.1615 A (10 kHz), supporting smoothing and filtering in power supplies and converters.
• Leakage Current — Measured leakage current of 888.3 µA, typical of large-value electrolytic capacitors and important for bias and hold-up considerations.
• High Temperature Endurance — Rated lifetime of 1000 hours at 105°C, enabling sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact Radial Package — φ16 × 15 mm can with radial leads and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for reliable through-hole mounting and easy manual or wave solder assembly.
• Packaging Options — Available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) and Bag Packing to suit procurement and assembly needs.
• Polarized Construction — Intended for circuits where polarity is known and controlled.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Provides bulk energy storage and smoothing for low-voltage circuits and boards that require a large capacitance in a compact, radial form.
• Power supply filtering — Handles AC ripple at both low and higher frequencies to stabilize DC rails in small power supplies and regulators.
• Legacy or replacement designs — Suitable for through-hole designs using radial electrolytic capacitors where matching form factor and electrical characteristics are required.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can — 4700 µF in a φ16 × 15 mm package reduces board area compared with multiple smaller capacitors.
• Measured ripple ratings at multiple frequencies — Specified ripple current at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (1.01 A and 1.1615 A respectively) helps in selecting the capacitor for both mains-frequency and switching-frequency applications.
• Wide operating temperature range — −55°C to 105°C operation and 1000-hour endurance at 105°C support applications with elevated ambient or internal temperatures.
• Through-hole radial format — 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and standard radial can form factor simplify installation in existing through-hole layouts.
• Packaging flexibility — Bulk and bag packing options assist inventory handling for production and prototyping needs.
