UVZ2C470MHD

The UVZ2C470MHD is a radial-lead aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UVZ series, providing 47 µF capacitance at a 160 V rated voltage in a compact φ12.5 × 20 mm can. Designed for general-purpose through-hole applications, it delivers stable performance across a wide operating temperature range and long endurance for demanding electronic assemblies.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 47 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C, and a rated voltage of 160 V for dependable bulk capacitance in DC-link and general-purpose circuits.
• Loss Characteristics — tanδ (DF) of 0.20 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, providing a quantified dissipation factor for design margin calculations.
• Ripple Current Capability — 195 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 312 mA at 10 kHz (high frequency), enabling handling of both mains-frequency and higher-frequency ripple loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 400.8 µA, useful for predicting standby and quiescent currents in power systems.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operational from −40°C to +105°C (category temperature per series specifications for 160 V), supporting a broad range of environmental conditions.
• Endurance — Rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C with capacitance change expected within ±20% after the endurance test, offering predictable long-term performance.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can package (φ12.5 × 20 mm) with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant as noted for the UVZ series.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Suitable for through-hole designs that require stable bulk capacitance at 160 V.
• Power supply filtering — Used where a 47 µF, 160 V capacitor is required for smoothing and ripple handling within the specified ripple current limits.
• Industrial control equipment — Appropriate for assemblies operating across −40°C to +105°C and requiring predictable endurance at elevated temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High voltage capability: 160 V rating provides headroom for higher-voltage DC applications while maintaining a compact radial can footprint.
• Measured dissipation factor: tanδ = 0.20 (20°C, 120 Hz) gives designers a clear parameter for thermal and loss budgeting.
• Dual-frequency ripple specification: Explicit ripple current ratings at 120 Hz and 10 kHz allow confident selection for both low- and high-frequency power circuits.
• Proven endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C with defined capacitance and tanδ limits supports predictable life-cycle planning.
• Compact radial form-factor: φ12.5 × 20 mm can and 5.0 mm lead spacing simplify placement in dense through-hole layouts and retrofit designs.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental directive requirements for lead-free assemblies.
