UVK1C472MHD

The UVK1C472MHD is a miniature aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVK series, provided in a radial lead (through-hole) can package. It delivers 4.7 mF (4700 µF) capacitance at a 16 V rating with a compact φ16 × 25 mm case and 7.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for general-purpose electronic circuits, the UVK1C472MHD combines high ripple-current capability with a wide operating temperature range and a 2000-hour endurance rating at 85°C to address reliable power conditioning and bulk capacitance requirements in volume production assemblies.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage  4700 µF (4.7 mF) capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with polarization suitable for DC applications requiring bulk capacitance.
• Miniature radial package  Compact φ16 × 25 mm can with radial lead mounting and 7.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assembly.
• High ripple-current capability  Low-frequency ripple current 2.1 A at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 2.415 A at 10 kHz to support demanding ripple conditions.
• Defined loss and leakage characteristics  tan δ = 0.26 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and specified leakage current of 2256 µA for predictable AC loss and leakage behavior.
• Wide operating range and endurance  Operating temperature −40°C to +85°C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C; endurance criteria include capacitance change within ±20%, tan δ ≤200% of initial, and leakage current not exceeding initial specified value after test.
• Compliance and packaging  RoHS-compliant construction with bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing options for production handling; part is in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits  Provides bulk capacitance where a polarized 4700 µF, 16 V capacitor is required.
• Through-hole assemblies  Radial lead form and standard lead spacing simplify integration into PCBs and legacy boards.
• Environments requiring temperature resilience  Suitable for designs that operate within −40°C to +85°C and require a 2000-hour endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, space-saving can  Miniature φ16 × 25 mm package helps reduce board area compared with larger electrolytic options.
• Robust ripple handling  High-rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz support effective smoothing and decoupling in power circuits.
• Predictable electrical behavior  Specified tan δ and measured leakage current values enable engineering trade-offs with confidence.
• Durability at elevated temperature  2000-hour endurance at 85°C with defined limits on capacitance, dissipation factor, and leakage supports long-term reliability planning.
• Production-ready packaging  Available in bulk and bag packing for straightforward procurement and assembly workflows.
