URZ2C470MHD

The URZ2C470MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact, low-profile can designed for general-purpose board-level power applications. It provides 47 µF of capacitance with ±20% tolerance and is optimized for use where moderate ripple handling and compact size are required.

Manufactured by Nichicon as part of the URZ series, this capacitor delivers specified ripple performance across low and high frequencies and is rated for operation up to 105°C, making it suitable for a broad range of embedded and consumer electronics applications.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 47 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction for reliable DC filtering and energy storage.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V rating for common low-voltage power rails and DC bus applications.
• Ripple Current Capability — 300 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 480 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), supporting both mains-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency converter applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 400.8 µA, measurable after standard voltage application conditions.
• Thermal and Endurance — Operating temperature range of −40°C to 105°C with endurance specified to 1000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Mechanical Package — φ16 × 15 mm (D × L) can with 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through-hole PCB assembly.
• Packaging Options — Available in Bulk (No Terminal Forming) or Bag Packing to suit assembly workflows.

Typical Applications

• Board-level power rail smoothing — Bulk capacitance for low-voltage DC rails where compact radial cans are preferred.
• Switch-mode power supplies — Handles low- and high-frequency ripple currents for filtering around converters and regulators.
• Embedded and consumer electronics — General-purpose decoupling and energy storage in compact mechanical envelopes.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, low-profile form factor — φ16×15 mm size provides substantial capacitance in a small through-hole footprint, saving PCB space.
• Dual-frequency ripple handling — Rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz translate to predictable performance in mains-frequency smoothing and higher-frequency converter applications.
• High-temperature endurance — 1000 hours at 105°C supports reliable operation in elevated ambient environments.
• Measured leakage specification — Specified leakage current (400.8 µA) enables predictable bias behavior in DC circuits.
• Simple through-hole mounting — Radial lead and 7.5 mm lead spacing simplify prototyping and repair-friendly designs.
