UVP0J472MHD

The UVP0J472MHD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series. It provides 4.7 mF rated capacitance at 6.3 V in a radial-can package designed for general-purpose and entertainment electronics applications.

Designed for deployments that require polarity inversion or AC-capable electrolytic capacitance, this component combines bi-polar construction, RoHS compliance, and a compact radial lead form factor for straightforward board integration.

Key Features

• Bi‑Polar Construction — Supports applications where polarity may reverse; series endurance testing includes polarity inversion during 2000 hours at 85 °C.
• Capacitance and Voltage — Rated at 4.7 mF with a 6.3 V working voltage and a capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Ripple Current Performance — Specified ripple current of 2.02 A at 120 Hz and 2.323 A at 10 kHz to match varied ripple frequency conditions.
• Temperature and Lifetime — Operating range from –40 °C to 85 °C and rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated-voltage conditions.
• Loss and Leakage Characteristics — tan δ (max.) for the 6.3 V rating is 0.26 (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C); leakage current is specified as not more than 0.03 × C × V (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead, radial can package with lead spacing of 7.5 mm and overall dimensions L: 3.05 × D: 1.6 cm for compact PCB placement.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Used where bi‑polar capacitance is required in consumer audio/video and related entertainment equipment.
• General-Purpose Consumer Circuits — Suitable for general-purpose power filtering, decoupling, and AC-coupling tasks in consumer electronics.
• Polarity‑Reversing or AC Applications — Bi‑polar design supports circuits subject to polarity inversion or AC voltage swings.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar design for flexible polarity — Enables use in AC-coupled and polarity‑reversing circuits without requiring separate polarity handling components.
• Quantified ripple capability — Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz simplify thermal and reliability planning for real-world signal conditions.
• Verified endurance under inversion — Endurance characterization includes 2000 hours at 85 °C with periodic polarity inversion, providing data-driven reliability expectations.
• Compact radial-can footprint — Small L × D footprint and radial leads support straightforward through-hole mounting and space-efficient designs.
• Standards compliance — RoHS conformity supports designs targeting current environmental directives.
