Key Features
- 47 µF capacitance at 63 V rating delivering effective bulk energy storage and ripple filtering in power supply and DC-DC converter circuits
- Compact 6.3 mm diameter radial leaded through-hole package allowing easy PCB insertion in standard through-hole assembly or prototype designs
- Aluminum wet electrolytic construction providing high capacitance per unit volume at an economical cost for general-purpose filtering applications
- Low leakage current of 0.089 mA ensuring minimal standby power loss in circuits where self-discharge and quiescent current are design constraints
Applications
The Nichicon UVZ1J470MED is suited for bulk decoupling, power supply output filtering, and energy storage in linear power supplies, DC-DC converters, and motor drive circuits operating at voltages up to 63 V. Its 47 µF capacitance and 6.3 mm diameter compact form factor make it a practical choice for filtering low-frequency ripple on regulated voltage rails in consumer electronics, industrial control equipment, and general-purpose power conditioning applications. The radial through-hole package also suits it for prototype boards, repair work, and low-to-medium volume production runs where hand soldering or wave soldering is used.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacitance and voltage rating of the Nichicon UVZ1J470MED?
The UVZ1J470MED is a 47 µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a 63 V voltage rating. This combination provides adequate bulk capacitance for filtering low-frequency ripple on regulated DC rails in power supplies, motor controllers, and industrial control boards. The 63 V rating also gives a comfortable derating margin when used on 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V bus rails, following the common engineering practice of derate capacitor voltage to 50-80% of rated voltage for long-term reliability.
How does the 6.3 mm body diameter of the UVZ1J470MED affect PCB layout for through-hole designs?
The 6.3 mm body diameter of the UVZ1J470MED requires a PCB footprint with hole spacing matched to standard radial leaded capacitor pitch, typically 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm depending on the lead configuration. At 6.3 mm diameter the capacitor occupies a moderate footprint that fits easily on most through-hole PCB layouts without requiring unusual component clearances. This size is common in general-purpose power supply filtering applications and is supported by standard wave soldering fixtures and through-hole PCB assembly tooling.
What leakage current does the UVZ1J470MED exhibit and why does this matter in low-power circuits?
The UVZ1J470MED has a specified leakage current of approximately 0.089 mA (0.08883 mA). In battery-powered or low-quiescent-current designs this leakage contributes to standby current drain, which can reduce battery life if multiple capacitors are used in parallel on a voltage rail that remains powered during sleep mode. Designers should account for the cumulative leakage of all electrolytic capacitors when calculating sleep-mode current budgets for IoT devices or portable instruments targeting sub-1 mA quiescent draw.
Is the UVZ1J470MED RoHS compliant and can it be used in products shipped to the European Union?
The UVZ1J470MED carries a RoHS Pb-free designation (JESD-609 code e3 indicating lead-free terminations), meaning it does not contain lead in its solder finish and meets the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU restrictions on hazardous substances. However, the REACH compliance code is listed as Not Compliant, so purchasers selling into REACH-regulated markets should verify the full SVHC substance list with Nichicon before finalizing their supply chain. For most standard through-hole assembly applications the lead-free construction satisfies the primary soldering compliance requirement for EU market entry.
