UVP1C470MED

The UVP1C470MED is a bi‑polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial can package, designed for general‑purpose and entertainment electronics applications. It delivers 47 µF at 16 V with a bi‑polar configuration that supports AC and polarity‑reversing circuit requirements while meeting RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) compliance.

Engineered for compact board layouts, this radial‑lead capacitor offers a small footprint (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and reliable performance across an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, with a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C under rated voltage with periodic polarity inversion.

Key Features

• Bi‑Polar Configuration Allows use in AC coupling and circuits where polarity reversal occurs; specified as a bi‑polarized unit within the UVP series.
• Electrical Ratings Rated at 16 V with 47 µF capacitance and ±20% tolerance, suitable for general‑purpose circuit functions.
• Ripple Performance Rated ripple currents: 95 mA at 120 Hz and 190 mA at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients available in the series data for sizing ripple against frequency.
• Low Leakage Leakage current specified as not more than 0.03 × C × V (µA) after 5 minutes at 20 °C, per the series datasheet method.
• Thermal and Endurance Characteristics Operating range −40 °C to +85 °C; endurance tested with rated voltage applied for 2000 hours at 85 °C (polarity inverted every 250 hours) with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and leakage current.
• Compact Radial Package Radial lead, can‑style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing and overall dimensions L: 1.1 cm × D: 0.63 cm for space‑constrained designs.
• Materials & Compliance Part of the UVP series and compliant to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics Suited to general functions in consumer audio and video equipment where bi‑polarized capacitors are specified.
• AC Coupling and Signal Paths Bi‑polar configuration supports AC coupling and signal‑path decoupling in circuits that experience polarity changes.
• General‑Purpose Power and Decoupling Used for local smoothing and decoupling in low‑voltage, space‑limited designs requiring radial lead mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Bi‑polar design for polarity reversal: Enables use in AC or polarity‑switching circuits without concern for standard polarized capacitor orientation.
• Compact radial footprint: Small L×D (1.1 × 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing make PCB placement and dense layouts easier.
• Verified endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion provides quantifiable reliability information for thermal stress planning.
• Frequency‑rated ripple data: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz help match the device to expected operating frequencies.
• Low leakage specification: Leakage current limit (0.03CV µA after 5 minutes at 20 °C) supports predictable DC behavior in sensitive circuits.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
