UVK1C471MPD

The UVK1C471MPD is a miniature radial lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVK series, specified at 470 µF and 16 V. Designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling, it provides a compact, polarized solution for space-constrained board designs.

With a rated operating range of −40 °C to 85 °C and a 2000‑hour endurance at 85 °C, this part balances small size (φ8 × 11.5 mm) with measurable ripple handling and low leakage for reliable performance in consumer and industrial electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage, with a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Compact Radial Package — Miniature radial lead (can) package with φ8 × 11.5 mm dimensions and 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole or socketed layouts.
• Ripple Current Performance — Low-frequency ripple current of 440 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 660 mA (10 kHz), suitable for common power-supply smoothing tasks.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.20 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, providing predictable ESR-related behavior in filtering applications.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 225.6 µA after rated voltage application, supporting low-standby-current designs.
• Endurance & Reliability — Rated for 2000 hours at 85 °C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage after the endurance test.
• RoHS Compliant & Mass Production — Conforms to RoHS requirements and is available in bulk/no terminal forming and bag packing; production status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk and output smoothing in low-voltage DC power supplies where compact through-hole capacitors are required.
• Decoupling for Embedded Modules — Local energy storage and transient suppression for microcontroller or peripheral circuits in compact assemblies.
• Consumer and Industrial Electronics — General-purpose filtering in appliances, instrumentation, and control electronics operating within −40 °C to 85 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Space-efficient form factor: φ8 × 11.5 mm can size delivers 470 µF in a compact radial package for dense PCB layouts.
• Balanced ripple handling: Defined low- and high-frequency ripple current ratings (440 mA @120 Hz, 660 mA @10 kHz) support both mains‑frequency and switching‑converter environments.
• Predictable loss behavior: Specified tan δ (0.20 at 20 °C, 120 Hz) enables reliable ESR-related performance planning in filter designs.
• Long-term endurance: 2000‑hour rating at 85 °C provides a quantified lifetime metric for thermal stress and reliability planning.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Available in bulk or bag packing—suitable for manual assembly or automated insertion processes that accept radial lead components.
