UWD0J471MCL1GS

The UWD0J471MCL1GS from Nichicon is a chip-type, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for surface-mounting on high-density PC boards. Engineered for elevated operating temperatures and automated assembly, it targets automotive and other demanding embedded power applications that require compact bulk capacitance and robust thermal endurance.

Key value comes from its combination of high capacitance (470 µF), low impedance (170 mΩ), AEC-Q200 qualification and compatibility with 260°C peak reflow processes—enabling reliable integration into modern SMT production flows and thermally stressed operating environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated at 6.3 V for bulk energy storage and decoupling in low-voltage power rails.
• Low Impedance — 170 mΩ impedance to support higher ripple current and stable filtering behavior across frequency.
• High-Temperature Capability — Rated operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C with a 5000-hour lifetime at 105°C, suitable for thermally demanding environments.
• Reflow-Compatible SMD Chip Type — Chip construction qualified for 260°C peak reflow (recommended: 260°C peak for 5 s; 230°C over 60 s), designed for surface mounting on high-density PCBs and compatible with carrier-tape automatic placement.
• Reliability and Standards — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), supporting qualification requirements for automotive and industrial applications.
• Form Factor — Compact radial can SMD package with dimensions L:1.0 cm × D:0.8 cm and recommended land pattern 8.3 × 8.3 mm for space-constrained board designs.
• Polarized — Polarized electrolytic construction for applications requiring DC bulk capacitance.
• Ripple Current — 225 mA at 120 Hz and 450 mA at 10 kHz to handle AC ripple across common switching power frequencies.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Use as bulk filtering and energy storage in control modules and power systems where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Filtering and smoothing in DC–DC converters, regulator outputs and power distribution networks on compact PCBs.
• High-Density SMT Assemblies — Surface-mount-ready design compatible with automatic placement for densely populated boards.
• Industrial Embedded Systems — Bulk capacitance in industrial controllers and modules operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 qualification confirms the part is designed to meet reliability requirements relevant to automotive and similar high-reliability systems.
• Reflow Process Compatibility: Supports 260°C peak reflow conditions, enabling robust SMT assembly and reflow throughput without compromising performance.
• Compact Bulk Capacitance: 470 µF in a 1.0 × 0.8 cm can provides significant capacitance in a small footprint, helping reduce board area and BOM count.
• Thermal Endurance: Rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, delivering measurable lifetime performance for thermally stressed applications.
• Frequency Versatility: Specified ripple current at both 120 Hz and 10 kHz supports filtering across low and high-frequency switching environments.
• Manufacturing-Friendly: Designed for carrier-tape feed and automatic placement to streamline high-volume SMT production.
