UVP1C471MPD

The UVP1C471MPD is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVP series, designed for entertainment electronics and similar general-purpose applications. Its construction and specifications make it suitable where polarity reversal and AC-coupling behavior are required within compact, radial-lead packaging.

With a rated capacitance of 470 µF at 16 V, radial lead mounting, and RoHS compliance, this part delivers a combination of capacitance, ripple handling and thermal endurance targeted at consumer and electronic system designs that use bi-polarized capacitors.

Key Features

• Bi-Polarized Design Manufactured as a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor for applications that require capacitor operation without fixed polarity.
• Capacitance and Voltage 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and tolerance of ±20% (–20% to +20%).
• Ripple Performance Rated ripple current of 485 mA at 120 Hz and 727.5 mA at 10 kHz; frequency coefficients from the UVP series apply (120 Hz coefficient = 1.00, 10 kHz coefficient = 1.50 for 100–470 µF).
• Compact Radial Can Package Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing of 5 mm and dimensions approximately L: 2 × D: 1 cm, suitable for through-hole assemblies.
• Temperature and Endurance Operating temperature range –40°C to +85°C with a specified endurance of 2000 hours at 85°C (with polarity inversion every 250 hours) as defined by the series endurance criteria.
• Leakage and Dissipation Characteristics Series leakage current guideline: after 5 minutes at rated voltage and 20°C, leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (µA). Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) for the 16 V rating is specified in the series data.
• RoHS Compliant Complies with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics Suited for consumer audio/video and entertainment devices that require bi-polarized capacitors in signal or coupling paths.
• General-Purpose Electronics Useful in board-level designs needing a compact radial, can-style electrolytic capacitor with defined ripple capability and temperature endurance.
• AC-Coupling / Signal Circuits Applicable where capacitor polarity may reverse as part of the circuit behavior and where a bi-polarized component is specified.

Unique Advantages

• Bi-polar capability: Enables use in circuits with polarity inversion without requiring separate polarity protection components.
• Measured ripple handling: Documented ripple ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz (485 mA and 727.5 mA respectively) allow engineers to match capacitor selection to expected ripple environments.
• Compact radial footprint: Small can package with 5 mm lead spacing and approximately 2 × 1 cm dimensions for space-conscious through-hole designs.
• Defined endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 85°C with polarity inversion intervals specified in the series datasheet supports design longevity planning under thermal stress.
• Clear electrical characterization: Series-level specifications for leakage current, tan δ, and low-temperature impedance ratios provide verifiable parameters for design verification.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies selection for markets and supply chains requiring restricted-substance adherence.
