Applications
The EEE-FP1C470AP is widely used in output filtering stages of DC-DC converters and switching power supplies where low ESR and high ripple current handling are required. Its 47 µF 16 V rating makes it suitable for decoupling VCC rails in microprocessor and FPGA power planes operating at 5 V or below. The compact SMD form factor also fits well in portable consumer electronics, automotive infotainment, and industrial control boards with limited PCB space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What ripple current can the EEE-FP1C470AP handle, and does this limit its use in high-frequency switching power supplies?
The Panasonic EEE-FP1C470AP FP series SMD electrolytic capacitor is rated for ripple current typically in the range of 590 mA to 820 mA at 100 kHz and 105°C, depending on the specific package dimensions. For high-frequency switching supplies operating above 100 kHz, engineers should verify the ripple current derating versus frequency to ensure the capacitor does not overheat, as electrolytic capacitors typically see a 1.3x to 2x reduction in ripple current rating above 10 kHz.
How does EEE-FP1C470AP's 16 V rating compare to using a 25 V rated 47 µF capacitor on a 12 V power rail?
The EEE-FP1C470AP is rated at 16 V, which provides only a 33% voltage derating margin on a 12 V rail — below the commonly recommended 50% derating for electrolytic capacitors. A 25 V rated 47 µF alternative would provide a 2× derating margin on the same 12 V rail, significantly improving long-term reliability and capacitor service life. For 12 V rails, engineers should select capacitors with at least 25 V rating to satisfy conservative derating guidelines.
What is the operating temperature range of EEE-FP1C470AP, and how does it affect mounting placement near heat sources on a PCB?
The Panasonic EEE-FP1C470AP FP series capacitor is rated for operation from -40°C to +105°C. When placed near heat-generating components such as inductors, transformers, or power MOSFETs, the local PCB temperature must remain below 105°C at the capacitor body including self-heating from ripple current. For designs where ambient plus self-heating approaches 105°C, the rated service life of 2000 hours at 105°C will be the limiting factor and a higher-temperature-rated capacitor should be considered.
Can EEE-FP1C470AP replace a through-hole electrolytic capacitor of the same 47 µF 16 V rating in an existing design update?
Yes, the EEE-FP1C470AP can replace a through-hole 47 µF 16 V electrolytic in a redesigned SMD PCB layout, provided the footprint is updated to match the FP series SMD pad pattern. The SMD package typically occupies less board volume than a through-hole equivalent of similar capacitance and has a height constraint that must be verified against any enclosure clearance. The electrical parameters including capacitance tolerance of ±20%, voltage rating of 16 V, and temperature rating of 105°C are directly comparable to standard through-hole replacements.
