UVP1A472MHD

The UVP1A472MHD is a bi‑polar aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVP series, designed for general-purpose and entertainment electronics applications. It provides 4.7 mF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a radial‑lead can package, offering a compact solution for AC‑coupled and general decoupling needs.

Key characteristics include bi‑polar polarization, RoHS compliance, an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, and an endurance rating validated at 85 °C for 2000 hours.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 4.7 mF nominal capacitance rated at 10 V, suitable for bulk storage and AC‑coupled circuit sections.
• Bi‑Polar Polarization — Bi‑polar design enables use in applications where polarity may reverse, aligning with entertainment electronics and other AC applications.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can‑style package with 7.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 3.55 × D: 1.8 cm) for through‑hole PCB mounting and robust mechanical retention.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for −40 °C to +85 °C operation with a specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 85 °C when tested under rated conditions.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current handling of 2.16 A at 120 Hz and 2.484 A at 10 kHz, supporting applications with significant AC ripple currents.
• Tolerance & Stability — Capacitance tolerance of ±20% and series-level endurance characteristics validated after long-term exposure with polarity inversion.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), meeting common environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics — Used in audio and video equipment and other consumer entertainment devices where bi‑polar capacitors are required for AC coupling and signal path decoupling.
• General Purpose Power & Decoupling — Bulk storage and smoothing in low‑voltage power rails and decoupling for general electronic modules.
• AC‑Coupled Circuits — Suitable where polarity reversal can occur, leveraging the bi‑polar construction to maintain functionality in alternating signal environments.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑Polar Design for Reversible Polarity — Enables reliable operation in circuits where polarity can change, with series endurance testing that included polarity inversion during 2000 hours at 85 °C.
• High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 4.7 mF provided in a radial can (L: 3.55 × D: 1.8 cm) helps minimize board space while delivering bulk energy storage.
• Strong Ripple Handling Across Frequencies — Rated ripple currents at 120 Hz and 10 kHz support applications exposed to both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple components.
• Wide Operating Range — −40 °C to +85 °C rating makes the part applicable across a broad set of ambient conditions common in consumer electronics.
• Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious designs and regulatory requirements.
