UVP0J471MPD

The UVP0J471MPD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series designed for entertainment electronics and general-purpose circuits. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating in a compact radial-can package suitable for through-hole assemblies.

With a specified operating temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C, established ripple current ratings at multiple frequencies, and a 2000 hour endurance at 85 °C, this part is intended for applications that require stable bipolar performance in a small footprint.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 470 µF rated capacitance at 6.3 V for bulk energy storage and filtering in low-voltage bipolar circuits.
• Bi-Polarized Construction: Bi-polarized design enables operation where polarity can invert or where non-polar behavior is required.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and dimensions L: 1.25 × D: 1.00 cm for compact through-hole mounting.
• Temperature & Endurance: Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 85 °C (with polarity inversion every 250 hours) as defined in the series specifications.
• Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 370 mA at 120 Hz and 555 mA at 10 kHz to support AC and high-frequency ripple conditions typical in entertainment electronics.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics: Series leakage current spec: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20 °C, leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (μA); tan δ for 6.3 V parts is specified at 0.26 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics: Suitable for consumer audio and video equipment where the UVP series is specified for entertainment electronics and bipolar capacitor performance is required.
• General-Purpose Electronic Equipment: Useful in general-purpose circuits that require a bi-polarized capacitor for AC-coupling, filtering, or decoupling in low-voltage designs.
• Through-Hole / Radial-Lead Assemblies: Radial lead mounting and compact can dimensions make this part practical for PCB through-hole designs and retrofit applications.

Unique Advantages

• Bi-polar capability: Eliminates the need to manage polarity-sensitive placement in circuits that experience polarity inversion or require non-polar behavior.
• Compact radial-can footprint: 1.25 × 1.00 cm size with 5 mm lead spacing provides a high-capacitance option for space-constrained through-hole layouts.
• Defined ripple performance: Specified ripple current values at 120 Hz (370 mA) and 10 kHz (555 mA) allow designers to size capacitors against expected ripple loads with confidence.
• Endurance at temperature: 2000 hours at 85 °C (with polarity inversion schedule) gives a quantified baseline for life and reliability planning.
• Measured electrical characteristics: Series-level leakage and tan δ specifications (0.03CV leakage limit; tan δ = 0.26 at 6.3 V) provide concrete electrical limits for design verification.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and regulatory requirements for consumer electronics products.
