UVP1A471MPD

The UVP1A471MPD is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVP series, designed for general‑purpose and entertainment electronics. It provides 470 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a radial‑lead, can package with a 5 mm lead spacing.

Key attributes include RoHS compliance, operation across a −40 °C to +85 °C temperature range, and documented endurance under inverted polarity stress, making it suitable for designs that require stable bi‑polar performance and reliable long‑term operation.

Key Features

• Bi‑Polarized Construction  Standard bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic design suitable for circuits that require non‑polar capacitor behavior.
• Electrical Ratings  470 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Ripple Current Defined  Specified ripple current of 410 mA at 120 Hz and 615 mA at 10 kHz for predictable filtering and decoupling performance.
• Reliability & Endurance  Endurance characterized at 2,000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion every 250 hours; capacitance change, tan δ, and leakage current limits are specified after endurance.
• Mounting & Package  Radial‑lead, can‑style package with 5 mm lead spacing for through‑hole board mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Operating Environment  Rated for continuous operation from −40 °C to +85 °C; RoHS‑compliant construction.
• Low‑Temperature Stability  For the 10 V rating, impedance ratios are specified: Z(−25 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 3 and Z(−40 °C)/Z(+20 °C) ≤ 8, enabling designers to evaluate performance in cold conditions.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics  Designed for standard bi‑polar applications within consumer entertainment devices where reliable AC‑coupling and signal stability are needed.
• General‑Purpose Consumer Electronics  Suitable for general‑purpose circuits that require a compact, radial lead, bi‑polar electrolytic capacitor for power conditioning or signal paths.
• Audio/Video Equipment  Useful in consumer audio/video circuitry where bi‑polarized capacitance and defined ripple performance support stable operation across frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar design for reversible polarity: Enables use in circuits where polarity can change without needing separate polarity management components.
• Documented endurance under inversion: 2,000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion every 250 hours provides measurable reliability data for lifecycle planning.
• Frequency‑specified ripple capability: Clear ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz let engineers size capacitors for both low‑ and high‑frequency filtering needs.
• Wide operating temperature range: −40 °C to +85 °C operating range supports a broad set of consumer and entertainment applications.
• RoHS‑compliant construction: Meets RoHS directives for lead‑restricted designs and regulatory compliance.
• Through‑hole radial packaging: Radial lead and can package with 5 mm lead spacing for robust mechanical mounting and easy assembly.
