UVP2A4R7MED

The UVP2A4R7MED is a bi-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's UVP series designed for entertainment and general-purpose electronics. It features a radial-can package with radial lead mounting and is RoHS compliant.

Key characteristics include a 4.7 µF capacitance at 100 V rated voltage, a wide operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, and a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 85 °C with polarity inversion testing.

Key Features

• Bi-Polarized Construction – Designed as a bi-polarized capacitor for applications where polarity can reverse; endurance testing includes polarity inversion every 250 hours.
• Electrical Ratings – 4.7 µF capacitance with a 100 V rated voltage and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Ripple Performance – Rated ripple current of 47 mA at 120 Hz and 94 mA at 10 kHz, with frequency coefficients defined in the series datasheet.
• Thermal and Reliability – Operating temperature range −40 °C to +85 °C and a lifecycle specification of 2000 hours at 85 °C.
• Compact Radial Package – Radial can with radial lead mounting; physical size L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm and lead spacing of 2.5 mm for compact board-level integration.
• Low Leakage – Series leakage-current specification: after 5 minutes at 20 °C the leakage current is not more than 0.03CV (μA), per the datasheet.
• RoHS Compliance – Compliant with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Entertainment Electronics – Suited to consumer audio/video equipment and other entertainment devices where bi-polarized caps are required for signal paths or AC-coupling functions.
• General Purpose Circuits – Useful in general-purpose electronic designs that need a compact radial bi-polar capacitor with a 100 V rating.
• Power and Signal Filtering – Can be used for filtering and decoupling in circuits where polarity reversal can occur and a stable capacitance over temperature is required.

Unique Advantages

• Polarity-flexible design: Bi-polarized construction and endurance testing with polarity inversion enable use in circuits that experience polarity swings.
• High-voltage capability: 100 V rated voltage supports applications needing elevated voltage headroom in a compact radial package.
• Compact footprint: Small radial-can dimensions (L: 1.1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing help minimize PCB area in space-constrained designs.
• Defined ripple performance: Published ripple current values at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow designers to size components for specific frequency environments.
• Durability at temperature: 2000-hour endurance at 85 °C provides a documented baseline for long-term operation under elevated temperature stress.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting current environmental directives.
